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.

Sexual Abuse
Chelsie Ciminelli
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Holistic Health Practitioner
I support individuals who have experienced sexual abuse or sexual trauma and are navigating the lasting emotional, relational, and physical effects of those experiences. My approach centers on creating a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where you can move at your own pace and remain in control of your healing process. Together, we can gently explore how trauma may have affected your relationship with yourself, your body, your emotions, boundaries, trust, and relationships while developing greater nervous-system regulation and a sense of safety within yourself. My work is focused not only on processing what happened, but on helping you reconnect with your inherent worth, reclaim your sense of agency, and develop a relationship with yourself and your body that feels more safe, empowered, and whole.

Sexual Abuse
James Foley Sexual Misbehavior, Infidelity , Expert 31 Years Experience
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-R, SOTS,
I help persons who engaged in illegal sexual behaviors learn how to never do so again.
I also coordinate efforts with defense attorneys, so as to help the clients attorney best defend their client , and I work with that attorney to show the court the client is making real change.
In my coordination with the defense attorney, I work on helping the client change distorted thoughts and behaviors so as to present well at their pre-sentencing interview (PSI), to help show the court that a community (not jail) based disposition is possible for that particular client.
I have a great track record in assisting attorneys in doing their job of helping their client get the best possible disposition of the case.

Victims of sexual abuse carry with them emotional trauma that can be addressed and released on the subconscious level.
5-PATH (The Five Phase Advanced Transformational Hypnotherapy) is a comprehensive way to address and release all negative emotions, perceptions and change the inner programs (early life negative beliefs and subconscious decisions) that trigger those emotions and perceptions. It is a also a powerful way to change habits and behaviors by coding in specific behavioral patterns directly into the subconscious mind.
