Sexual Abuse
Sarah Gersick
Psychologist, Ph.D.
When we experience abuse, it creates patterns that make it hard to cope with new stressors in a healthy way. It helps to have a place to talk through what is happening in your life today while also working to understand how old wounds are interfering in the present. I am an experienced psychologist who can help you process the trauma with psychodynamic work and EMDR, so you can reduce the distress you are feeling now, and make deep changes that lead to better coping in the future.

Sexual Abuse
Mary Mesiha
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
Experiencing sexual abuse can deeply affect how you see yourself and how safe you feel in the world. Healing from this kind of trauma takes time, patience, and a safe, supportive space. In therapy, we’ll move at your pace as you process what happened, rebuild trust, and reconnect with your sense of safety and self-worth. You are not defined by what was done to you, and together we’ll work toward healing, empowerment, and reclaiming your voice.

Sexual Abuse
James C. Carpenter, PhD, ABPP
Psychologist, PhD (Clinical Psychology, Ohio State U), Board Certified in Clinical Psychology (ABPP), PSYPACT
I gradually and not too happily became an expert in treating sexual abuse -- especially early abuse in childhood -- through working intensely with so many people who have presented with those issues. I understand the suggestibility of memory, and I never suggest or over-lead clients to these possible traumas. But they often enough present themselves indisputably into therapy work as it becomes deeper and safer. I have had and given a lot of training in this area and have a big toolbox of approaches at my disposal in working on this very delicate and important material.
