Laura Anderson LPCC, Eff Shame Therapy
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
Sexual abuse reaches into the most private parts of who we are — our bodies, our sense of safety, our relationship with intimacy, our ability to trust ourselves and others. The shame that so often follows belongs to the person who caused the harm, not to you. And yet it lands where it lands, and it stays until something helps it move.
I work with survivors of sexual abuse from a deeply trauma-informed, shame-free perspective using EMDR, Flash Technique, and ketamine-assisted EMDR for those ready to work at that level. This is slow, careful, boundaried work done entirely at your pace — with the goal of returning you to a relationship with your own body and life that feels like yours again.
You deserved protection. You deserve healing now.

Dr. Shelby Kittinger
Psychologist, PsyD
Healing from sexual abuse involves reconnecting to safety, agency, and trust in one’s own body and experience. I provide a compassionate and slow space to process trauma, integrate emotional and somatic experiences, and rebuild a sense of embodiment and agency in one's selfhood.

Marley Cote
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, MS
Shame. Disgust. Betrayal. Terror. Panic. Helplessness. Rage. These are the common emotions that haunt or plague many survivors of sexual abuse. Further, sexual abuse can leave survivors feeling fragmented and dehumanized. These emotions are often only one part of struggling to survive, with flashbacks and trauma responses often frustrating or flooding survivors. Many survivors often wonder if they will ever feel "normal" again after what has happened, if it is even possible to find safety again within and outside of themselves. In my work with survivors, my clients discover what it means to be grounded again within their bodies, to find their bodies safe again, and to release trauma that has limited them for so long.

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.
