Sexual Abuse
Whole Wellness Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Sexual abuse can sometimes feel impossible to overcome. Healing looks differently for everyone, but it is never linear. At Whole Wellness Therapy, we take the time to look at how our clients who have experienced any form of sexual abuse have been impacted by it, and how to create/restore a sense of internal and emotional safety for our clients.

Sexual Abuse
Patricia Fahmy
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
The effects of sexual abuse can continue long after the experience itself has ended.
You may struggle with trust, shame, anxiety, self-worth, boundaries, emotional overwhelm, or difficulty feeling safe in relationships and intimacy.
Many survivors carry these burdens silently for years.
I provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can process what you've been through, reduce its ongoing impact, reconnect with yourself, and move toward healing at a pace that feels safe, supportive, and empowering. I help you rebuild trust in yourself, strengthen your sense of safety, and create healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

Allen Shamon

Survivors of sexual abuse may struggle with intrusive memories, flashbacks, and nightmares related to their trauma. I provide support and guidance to survivors in processing traumatic memories, understanding the impact of the abuse on their lives, and developing coping strategies for managing distressing symptoms. Through trauma-focused interventions, I help survivors integrate their traumatic experiences into their life narrative in a way that promotes healing and empowerment.

Sexual Abuse
Marge Michaelson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, ACSW, DSW
Treating people who have experienced Violence, Abuse and Trauma is an essential part of my practice. Sexual assault needs the telling of the cohesive story. It is a process of learning for yourself how to move through what disturbing symptoms it created. It is deciding what actions need to be taken and what support is needed.

San Diego's identity as a major military and biotech hub creates dual demand for therapists specializing in veteran trauma and PTSD on one hand, and the high-functioning anxiety and burnout of the life sciences industry on the other. The city's large active-duty population at Naval Base San Diego and Camp Pendleton means therapists with military specialty training are consistently sought after, and many practices are specifically oriented toward service members and their families. San Diego's border location and large Latino population drive demand for bilingual therapists and culturally affirming care for immigrant and mixed-status families. Scripps Health and UC San Diego Health provide institutional mental health anchors across the county.
