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.

Brittany Speed, Hudson Valley Psychology
Psychologist, PhD
Experiences of sexual abuse can have lasting effects on how you see yourself, relate to others, and experience safety and trust. You may find yourself struggling with anxiety, shame, guilt, intrusive memories, or feeling disconnected from yourself and the people around you. Whatever your experiences have been, you deserve support, and seeking help can be an important step toward healing. I specialize in evidence-based trauma treatment, including Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Prolonged Exposure (PE). I tailor treatment to your individual needs, experiences, and goals, creating a collaborative space where you can work through the impact of trauma at a pace that feels manageable. Together, we can work to reduce the distress associated with past experiences, challenge beliefs that may be keeping you stuck, and help you reconnect with a sense of safety, self-trust, and control over your life. Healing is possible, and you don't have to navigate it alone.

I provide trauma-informed therapy for adults who have experienced sexual abuse or sexual boundary violations. While much of my work focuses on men, I also work with women when clinically appropriate. Treatment is carefully paced, evidence-based, and focused on restoring safety, agency, and emotional regulation.

Monica Buttafava
Counselor/Therapist, M.S., LMHC
Survivors of sexual assault often report feelings of shame and guilt. The negative emotions linked to the trauma often expose child and adolescent victims of sexual abuse to mental health conditions.
Depression, anxiety, PTSD, attachment issues, addiction, personality disruption, and chronic pain can all be conditions that may develop from such traumatic experiences.
Therapy offers a safe, private space to get help without judgments, a place to talk, process, and understand feelings and ultimately reduce negative effects and symptoms.
