Sexual Abuse
Rory Valentine Diller
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., LMFT Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #139783
I believe our sexuality is intertwined with our spirituality... it is sacred and often connected to the most vulnerable and tender parts of our mind, body and soul. When this is violated and disgraced by violence and abuse, survivors face wounding that cuts right to the core. Survivors may struggle deeply with shame, rage, grief, fear, injustice, relationships, sexual functioning, and symptoms of PTSD. I use body-based therapies and my own lived experience wisdom as a survivor to create a safe, empathic space for clients to recover and heal in the wake of sexual trauma.

Sexual Abuse
Russell Wilkie
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
Sexual abuse is very upsetting to our sense of self because it affects: self-esteem, body issues, boundaries, betrayal, future sex life, intimacy, and trust to name just a few. Recovery starts with gently and gracefully beginning to love yourself as you are and then working through the above issues and others. You can learn to have excellent boundaries and have sex without anxiety and fear.
