Sexual Abuse

Dr. Anna Smith

Psychologist, PsyD, MEd, MA

The impact of sexual abuse or assault can live in the body and in relationships long after the events themselves—showing up as shutdown, hypervigilance, difficulty with touch, trust issues, or disconnection from your own desire. In a trauma-informed, gentle, and empowering space, we work at your pace to process what happened, release shame that doesn’t belong to you, and help you reclaim safety, pleasure, and agency in your body and intimate connections. Healing is possible, and you deserve to feel at home in your sexuality again.

Sexual Abuse

Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center

Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC

Brad provides trauma-informed therapy for individuals who have experienced sexual abuse and related trauma, including the lasting emotional effects such as shame, guilt, worthlessness, anxiety, depression, fear, emotional numbness, and difficulty with trust, relationships, and self-esteem. These experiences can have a profound and long-term impact on emotional well-being, identity, and overall quality of life. Brad takes a holistic and trauma-focused approach to healing from sexual abuse, providing a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where clients can process their experiences at their own pace. Therapy is designed to help clients reduce emotional distress, restore a sense of safety and control, and begin rebuilding self-worth and emotional stability. As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-informed counseling, emotional regulation strategies, and holistic therapeutic approaches to support deep and meaningful healing. Treatment focuses on processing traumatic memories, reducing symptoms of distress, and addressing the underlying emotional impact that often persists long after the abuse has occurred. Sexual trauma often requires specialized, trauma-focused treatment. While supportive talk therapy can be helpful, deeper healing typically involves addressing the nervous system responses, emotional wounds, and core beliefs formed through the traumatic experience. Brad’s approach is designed to support this deeper level of healing and long-term recovery. Therapy is collaborative and individualized, allowing clients to feel safe, respected, and empowered throughout the healing process. The focus is on helping clients regain emotional balance, strengthen resilience, and develop healthier ways of relating to themselves and others. Healing is possible. With the right support, clients can move beyond the impact of sexual abuse, release feelings of shame and self-blame, and rebuild a stronger, more grounded sense of identity, safety, and self-worth.

Sexual Abuse

Dr. Elizabeth Coldren

Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT

I work with adults who are survivors of childhood sexual abuse. Many of the people I see have built full, functioning lives and are often seen as capable, responsible, and reliable by others. Inside, they may carry a private mix of shame, confusion, anger, or grief about what happened, and a sense that they have never really had space to tend to it. Early abuse can leave traces in many areas of adult life. You might notice difficulty feeling at home in your body; anxiety, numbness, or shutdown in moments of closeness or vulnerability; a persistent sense that you are “too much” or “not enough”; or a tendency to doubt your own perceptions. There may be complicated feelings toward family members who knew, did not know, or minimized what happened, as well as patterns of over‑accommodating, people‑pleasing, or staying in relationships that feel familiar but not truly safe. Sometimes the impact shows up as depression, anxiety, perfectionism, or a feeling of being fundamentally different from others, without always linking it back to your early experiences. I have worked with survivors of childhood sexual abuse for many years, and this is one of my primary areas of specialization. I know how varied and complex the impact can be. My approach is careful, attuned, and paced to your nervous system. We do not rush into details or push for disclosure. Instead, we focus on helping you feel safer inside your own body and mind, making sense of what happened at a pace that feels manageable, and loosening the grip of shame and self‑blame. Over time, we explore what it means to have real choice, boundaries, and agency in your adult life, including in relationships, work, and family. My role is to offer a grounded, non‑intrusive space where you do not have to minimize your experience or protect anyone else’s feelings.
