Sexual Abuse
Katherine Coder
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, PhD, LPC, LMHC
Sexual abuse is highly traumatizing and can leave a person feeling broken. It can have life feeling empty or that there are parts of oneself that are offline. It can also lead us to have blindspots where we keep choosing abusive people in our lives as we miss the "red flags." To work with sexual abuse in therapy, we will build a foundation of trust together. When we have a good foundation of trust, we invite the body and nervous system to move through the places where trauma exists. Oftentimes, this comes in the form of dissociation, or not being able to recall or be present with what was overwhelming, terrifying, scary and so on. We will use trauma therapy approaches. It is also possible to work with Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy if that is a possibility medically.

Sexual Abuse
Timothy Long
Registered Psychotherapist
I am very sad to say that many of my clients report sexual abuse. Most are women, though many men as well. Nothing is more violating and traumatizing. Every time I hear these stories I feel deeply upset, anger and sadness. I am proud to say I have helped many people recover and release the trauma they were carrying from sexual abuse. I have expert skills in resolving deep trauma, sexual trauma and complex PTSD. If you have suffered from sexual abuse (or any type of abuse), I would really like to help you recover from it. It does not need to define you or get in the way of enjoying a very fulfilling intimate and sexual life. Please schedule a complimentary appointment and find out how I can help and support you.

Sexual Abuse
Cassie Rodriguez
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LMHC
I have worked with clients who have experienced sexual abuse for 8 years. Depending on the preference of the client, I am prepared to use Brainspotting Therapy, Somatic Therapy, and Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy for clients who are looking for relief and tools to navigate the every day symptoms that show up in their lives.
Most people assume to start therapy, they have to tell their story. However, if you're ready for relief but not interested in telling you're story, we can still work together to find you relief and joy again.

Sexual Abuse
Danielle Martinelli-Taylor
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, EMDRIA
The deeper pain of sexual abuse impacts so many parts. The hope of healing can feel distant. In using bilateral somatic methods, allowing for less talking about and more movement can allow for healing. We can discuss the use of EMDR or ART when you are ready. You are in charge and set the pace.

Sexual Abuse
Carrie Gauthier
Hypnotherapist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCHt
I am very passionate about helping men and women uncover and process the wounds of sexual abuse. This area is one of the main reasons I entered into this profession; to help uncover repressed memories, process them and authentically release the long held-back emotions and words to the antagonist that must be released to facilitate deep healing. We then have a beautiful forgiveness (if this is available to you) and compassion formula, followed by a chance to grow your inner child up into an emotionally mature adult, and integrate a new core emotional state of love. This is all part of the childhood regression. We show you the way to feel safe in your own mind and comfortable in your own skin again. We will uncover any maladaptive emotions and beliefs attached to the abuse and replace, reframe and rewire them with healthy alternatives. There is also a motivational, inspirational component within the hypnotic programmings to bring the joy back to life. I provide you with tools to reset your nervous system quickly so you have resources for if you feel triggered; this empowers you to emotionally regulate within minutes to avoid spiraling. We work to return your mental, emotional, physical and spiritual state back to homeostasis and empower you with methods to prevent self-sabotage or falling into harmful patterns. Ultimately, we pave the path that is unique for you to a state of inner peace under all circumstances, where you are able to channel your former pain into inspiration and move forward with clarity and confidence with the wisdom gained through your life experiences.

Sexual Abuse
Rebecca Castle-Waller
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Hey Survivor, are you tired of feeling guilty and overwhelmed all the time? Everyone else seems so together and you're stuck battling your past? I get it. My name is Rebecca Castle-Waller and I help badass women with trauma become present in their lives and in their relationships, so you can actually enjoy this life you've built.
Many of my clients grew up in chaotic and unstable homes where from a young age they started taking care of others. Making meals, waking their parents up for work, getting their siblings off to school. From there, you went on to take care of your partner and your kiddos while also working hard to keep everything running smoothly. Now with work and relationships and family drama and life you feel constantly stressed out and like you should be doing more. Oh, and you're doing all of this while facing nightmares, flashbacks, numbness, random waves of anger, and the like. Who's taking care of you?
Let's give you a space where you can be your messy, imperfect self so you can finally take care of you. It's time to heal your trauma, you've built an amazing life and you deserve to actually live it.

Sexual Abuse
Amanda Etienne
Psychologist, Psy.D
Sexual abuse and relational trauma are a core part of my clinical focus, and I know how layered this work can be - especially for women who've spent years intellectualizing or minimizing what happened to them. I help you slow down enough to actually feel what's there, using approaches like EMDR, at a pace that never asks more of you than you're ready to give.

Experiencing sexual abuse can have profound and lasting emotional, psychological, and relational impacts. It may affect how you feel in your body, your sense of safety, trust in others, and your ability to feel grounded or connected in daily life.

Avery provides a safe, compassionate, and trauma-informed space where you can share your experiences at your own pace, without pressure or judgment. The focus is on helping you feel supported as you process what happened, rebuild a sense of safety and control, and reconnect with yourself in a way that feels empowering and respectful. Together, you’ll work toward healing, resilience, and restoring a sense of stability and self-trust.
