Counselor/Therapist, Master's Degree Psychology, Ordained All Faiths Minister
The tragedy of any type of sexual abuse or sexual assault or incest can live with the victims forever… Unless they work through every emotion known to man in order to release the past, and thrive in the future.

Rachele Epp
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, EMDR Certified Therapist™
You don't have to continue to carry the pain of what has happened to you. There is freedom from the distress and negative beliefs that cause the pain of what happened to persist. EMDR therapy helps the brain reprocess the trauma so that it no longer controls you. In our time together, you will find deep, inner-healing and build resilience to leave the past and find hope in your future.

Stephanie Miodus
Psychologist, PhD, NCSP
I specialize in providing therapy and psychological assessments for children, adolescents, and adults impacted by trauma, with a particular focus on survivors of childhood sexual abuse. I am trained in trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) and as part of a federally funded clinical treatment study, have delivered CBT for PTSD to trauma-impacted college students. I have a strong commitment to addressing the unique needs of those who have experienced trauma, including autistic individuals, and have presented on adapting trauma therapy for this population at the Philadelphia Trauma Training Conference. Additionally, I have presented at The American Professional Society on the Abuse of Children Colloquiums. My experience includes peer-reviewed research examining trauma, PTSD, and their connections to ADHD, further reinforcing my expertise in understanding and addressing the complex effects of abuse and trauma.

Dr. Kelsi Clayson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
The effects of sexual abuse can linger long after the experience itself, shaping the way you see yourself, your relationships, and the world around you. You may struggle with trust, feel disconnected from your body, or experience shame that doesn’t belong to you. Maybe certain memories surface when you least expect them, or you find yourself avoiding situations that feel too vulnerable or triggering. However it shows up, know that your response is valid—your mind and body have worked hard to protect you.
Healing from sexual abuse is not about "just moving on" but about reclaiming your sense of safety, autonomy, and self-worth. In our work together, we will move at your pace, creating a space where you feel supported, understood, and in control of your own healing process. You are not defined by what happened to you, and you do not have to carry this alone. With care and intention, we can work toward healing, self-compassion, and the ability to fully step into your life on your terms.

Sara Fraser
Psychologist, PhD
Because I have a speciality in trauma processing therapies, folks with past abuse can often find real relief in working through the implications of trauma-not just the memories of these experiences but how the body does indeed "keep the score". Trauma work needs to include both strong relational rapport, education about how trauma impacts on all levels of functioning and processing therapies such as EMDR or Deep Brain Reorienting to assist with deep healing.
