Sexual Abuse
Ellen Fontaine
Therapist, MSW, Registered Clinical Social Work Intern
My approach with trauma is to make connections with how it is affecting your current life. Clients are often surprised to learn some of the symptoms that come with trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Some of those symptoms include anxiety, intrusive thoughts, guilt, social isolation, loss of pleasure, hypervigilance, and self-destructive behaviors (to name a few). Although this can seem overwhelming, I use trauma-informed approaches and a trauma reprocessing therapy similar to EMDR.

The tragedy of any type of sexual abuse or sexual assault or incest can live with the victims forever… Unless they work through every emotion known to man in order to release the past, and thrive in the future.

I have had the privilege of working and training in a sexual assault center for many years and this has increased my expertise when working with individuals struggling with this trauma. It takes courage to take the first steps in order to "come out the other side" with a feeling of self confidence, mastery, and healing.

Sexual Abuse
Dr. Adam Shafer
Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
When the foundation of trust shaken (if not feeling broken) through experiences of trauma, the approach to restoring one's life must always be one of sensitivity, patience, and compassion. Without this, there will always be a risk that it will never feel safe enough to heal.
