Sexual Abuse
Stephanie Brumfield
Therapist, LCSW
Healing from the profound impact of sexual abuse is a journey of reclaiming one's soul and wholeness. In my practice, I offer a sanctuary for individuals grappling with the deep scars left by such experiences, focusing on the process of soul retrieval and the reclamation of lost parts of the self. This work is about more than healing physical wounds; it's about addressing the deep soul loss that occurs in the wake of sexual abuse. Together, we embark on a path of recovery, utilizing a compassionate, trauma-informed approach that honors your pace and the depth of your experiences. Through targeted therapeutic strategies, we will explore avenues for healing, empowerment, and the reintegration of your true self, aiming to restore a sense of safety, dignity, and personal power. My commitment is to support you in this deeply personal journey towards reclaiming your wholeness and rediscovering a life defined not by trauma, but by resilience and renewal.

Sexual Abuse
Chris Tickner
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, MFT
Recovering from sexual abuse is one of the hardest things we can do. It requires a great deal of courage, support, and patience. I have been working with men, women, and children who were sexually abused to overcome the devasting impact it can have. Research tells us that reaching out for support of sexual trauma is really hard. I want you to know if you do reach out, you can get help, and you will recover. Over the past several years, the field of psychology and traumatology has developed new and powerful ways to treat the multiple problems associated with sexual abuse. This stuff works. You don't have to suffer any longer.

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.

Sexual Abuse
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.

Sexual Abuse
Dr. Deborah Vinall
Counselor/Therapist, PsyD, LMFT
Sexual abuse can have lasting effects on how you experience your body, relationships, boundaries, and sense of self. Survivors may carry shame, fear, confusion, numbness, or self-blame—often long after the abuse has ended. These responses are not signs of weakness, but understandable adaptations to profound boundary violations.
From a trauma-informed perspective, healing involves restoring a sense of safety, choice, and connection—both within yourself and in relationship with others. Therapy is not about retelling what happened before you’re ready, but about supporting your nervous system in processing the impact of abuse in a way that feels respectful and contained.
With the support of EMDR, Brainspotting, and parts-based work, we move at a pace guided by your needs and readiness. The work is collaborative and attuned, with careful attention to consent, empowerment, and your autonomy throughout the process. Healing is possible, and you do not have to carry this alone.
