Yaffa Dyckman
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Sexual abuse can rob us of our dignity, barricade us with shame and guilt, and can take the joy out of our relationships. As a trauma trained therapist, I utilize EMDR resourcing and processing techniques to help people move beyond their traumatic experiences and memories and feel more at peace with the past. I incorporate psychodynamic therapy and STAIR/NST interventions as well. STAIR/NST is a therapy approach that combines both cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment theory.

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.

Jessica Torres Kreidt
Counselor/Therapist, LPCC, NCC, CCTP (CA: LPCC#17935)
My journey in mental health began at the YWCA HOPE Center, where I supported survivors of sexual abuse in processing their trauma and reclaiming their sense of agency. Today, I bring additional tools like EMDR, CPT, and, most importantly, a compassionate approach that meets you where you are. Using these methods, I guide survivors through the complex emotions and challenges they face, focusing on empowerment, resilience, and healing as they reclaim their lives and find peace.
