Sexual Abuse
Brianna Gomez
Pre-Licensed Professional, MS - Bilingual Trauma Informed Therapist
Sexual abuse survivors' journey in how they choose to response to such types of traumatic experiences can be very different. There is no right or wrong way to heal from such types of experiences and clients will be validated based on their personal choices rather than pressured to make different choices in their situation. Such types of experiences may leave individuals experiencing difficulties feeling safe within relationships and with that in mind - clients are encouraged to choose their own therapy goals. Frequently the goals in therapy are to establish effective ways to emotionally regulate and to have healthy/satisfying relationships with others.

Sexual Abuse
Allen Shamon
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Survivors of sexual abuse may struggle with intrusive memories, flashbacks, and nightmares related to their trauma. I provide support and guidance to survivors in processing traumatic memories, understanding the impact of the abuse on their lives, and developing coping strategies for managing distressing symptoms. Through trauma-focused interventions, I help survivors integrate their traumatic experiences into their life narrative in a way that promotes healing and empowerment.

Sexual Abuse
Dr. Daniele Levy, Bay Area Cognitive Therapy
Psychologist, PhD, MBA
When working with clients who have experienced sexual abuse, I use Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) to help them process and reframe the trauma. CPT helps individuals identify and challenge unhelpful beliefs related to safety, trust, power, control, intimacy, and self-esteem that often arise after abuse. We work together to explore and challenge these thoughts, facilitating healing and fostering a healthier, more empowered sense of self, while also addressing emotional and cognitive responses tied to the trauma. This approach is designed to promote lasting recovery and improved mental well-being.

Sexual Abuse
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.
