Sexual Abuse
Lauren A. Matos
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, MCAP
For 10 years, I have been helping survivors of sexual abuse find healing through EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy. This approach offers a structured yet compassionate path to addressing traumatic memories, allowing clients to process their experiences safely and effectively. Through EMDR, I guide clients to reframe painful memories, helping to reduce the emotional intensity and regain control over their narratives. With a focus on building resilience and restoring a sense of safety and self-worth, I provide a caring and supportive space for each person’s unique healing journey. It is a privilege to witness my clients reclaim their inner strength, empowering them to move forward with renewed confidence and hope.

Sexual Abuse
Barbara Magnusson Coffee
Licensed Professional Counselor, Ph.D., LMFT
Sadly, statistics show 1/4 girls were sexually abused and 1/5 boys. It is likely under-reported since victims often feel shame and responsibiity which is not theirs to carry.

Sexual Abuse
Sarah Elaine Zimmerman
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, EMDR Certified Psychotherapist
For 25+ years I've worked with clients who are survivors of sexual abuse including molestation, rape and incest. I've worked in several settings including a rape and sexual assault unit, a safehouse shelter and private practice. I want to help you with your healing process and for you to understand that you did nothing to deserve this. You want a therapist who is nurturing and supportive as you process this trauma. It's essential to have a therapist who also has the expertise to teach skills that you need to keep yourself safe and to put the traumatic memories in your past. I am trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for trauma work. You don't have to do this alone.

Sexual Abuse
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.
