Sexual Abuse
Mary Gonzalez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
The effects of sexual abuse can extend far beyond the abuse itself, influencing how you see yourself, relate to others, and move through the world. Whether the abuse occurred in childhood, adolescence, or adulthood, you may experience anxiety, depression, PTSD, shame, guilt, fear, emotional numbness, intrusive memories, nightmares, difficulty trusting others, or feeling disconnected from your body. These responses are common reactions to trauma—they are not signs of weakness or personal failure.
At Holding Space Therapy, we provide a safe, compassionate, and trauma-informed environment where you can begin healing at a pace that feels right for you. We understand that talking about sexual abuse can feel overwhelming, and there is never pressure to share more than you are ready to discuss. Building safety, trust, and emotional stability is an essential part of the healing process. Using evidence-based approaches such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, grounding techniques, and other trauma-informed interventions, we'll work together to process traumatic memories, reduce distressing symptoms, challenge shame-based beliefs, strengthen coping skills, and help your nervous system move out of survival mode.
Healing from sexual abuse is about more than reducing symptoms—it's about reclaiming your voice, restoring your sense of safety, rebuilding trust in yourself and others, and reconnecting with your strengths, identity, and self-worth. Throughout therapy, you'll be supported in developing healthy boundaries, increasing self-compassion, and creating relationships built on safety, respect, and mutual care. While the impact of sexual abuse can be profound, it does not define who you are or what your future can hold. With compassionate support and evidence-based treatment, healing is possible. You deserve a space where your experiences are honored, your story is respected, and your recovery is supported every step of the way.

Sexual Abuse
Katherine Coder
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, PhD, LPC, LMHC
Sexual abuse is highly traumatizing and can leave a person feeling broken. It can have life feeling empty or that there are parts of oneself that are offline. It can also lead us to have blindspots where we keep choosing abusive people in our lives as we miss the "red flags." To work with sexual abuse in therapy, we will build a foundation of trust together. When we have a good foundation of trust, we invite the body and nervous system to move through the places where trauma exists. Oftentimes, this comes in the form of dissociation, or not being able to recall or be present with what was overwhelming, terrifying, scary and so on. We will use trauma therapy approaches. It is also possible to work with Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy if that is a possibility medically.

Sexual Abuse
Jennifer Dash Therapy
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, EMDR, MCAP, NCC
Surviving sexual abuse or assault can deeply impact your relationship with your body, your boundaries, and your sense of safety in the world. The aftermath often leaves survivors navigating intense shame, hypervigilance, and painful emotional triggers. I offer a collaborative, trauma-informed space where your choices, safety, and pacing are entirely prioritized. Together, we will work gently to process the trauma, reduce the power of distressing triggers, and help you reclaim your body, your voice, and your peace of mind.

Sexual Abuse
Michaela Decker
Counselor/Therapist, LMFT
Frequently, people who have experienced trauma develop extraordinary survival skills. Often the strategies that were critical for survival, are not sustainable long term and thwart the ability to develop satisfying work, family and/or romantic relationships. Therapy provides an opportunity to become "unstuck" and transcend thinking and behavior patterns that are holding you back from realizing your potential. I specialize in the treatment of PTSD, anxiety and depression, and am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). When distress from a disturbing event remains, the upsetting images, thoughts, and emotions may create an overwhelming feeling of being back in that moment. EMDR therapy helps the brain process these memories, and allows normal healing to resume. EMDR therapy is not complete until attention has been brought to the past memories that are contributing to the problem, the present situations that are disturbing, and what skills the needed for the future.
