Sexual Abuse
Dayna Nelson, PsyD, LP
Psychologist, PsyD, Licensed Psychologist
Many people will experience some form of childhood sexual abuse, sexual harassment, sexual assault, or exploitation. Sexual abuse victims often experience lasting trauma, which can cause a person to live with deep emotional pain, fear, confusion, or posttraumatic stress far after the event has passed. Dr. Nelson is trained in trauma informed care and EMDR to help clients heal and process past sexual abuse and regain their emotional freedom.
In these circumstances, the support, guidance, and assistance of a therapist is fundamental to healing from trauma.

Sexual Abuse
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.
