Dr. Jeannine Pablo
Psychologist, LP, LCMHC, MLADC
Surviving sexual abuse can leave a profound impact on an individual’s nervous system, emotional regulation, and interpersonal relationships. Utilizing evidence-based, trauma-informed modalities—including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)—I help clients safely process traumatic memories and disrupt survival patterns like hypervigilance, dissociation, and shame. Our clinical work focuses on restoring somatic safety, processing complex trauma, and reclaiming personal autonomy.

Dr. Brittany Jacobson
Psychologist, PhD, CST
It is exhausting to live with the impact of someone else’s choices that were violating, confusing, and terrifying. Even if the trauma happened years ago, it can continue to affect your sense of safety, your relationships, your sexuality, and the way you relate to yourself. You may find yourself constantly on guard, disconnected from your body, overwhelmed by shame or blaming yourself, struggling with trust, unable to sleep well, or wondering why certain situations still trigger such intense emotional or physical reactions. These reactions are your mind and body's attempts to protect you after something that someone never should have chosen to do to you.
Finding lasting healing from sexual trauma is about much more than talking through the past. It also involves helping your nervous system recognize that the danger is over. Together we will process your experiences at a pace that feels safe and rebuild a relationship with yourself grounded in compassion, confidence, and self-trust. We will explore your emotions about what happened and how it has affected your thoughts/beliefs, while always respecting your readiness, your boundaries, and your sense of control in the therapy process.
Drawing from evidence-based trauma therapies along with mindfulness and mind-body approaches, we'll work to reduce the emotional and physical grip of trauma so it no longer defines your daily life. Whether you're struggling with PTSD symptoms, intimacy, body image, self-worth, anxiety, or feeling disconnected from yourself, therapy can help you move toward greater freedom and healing. As a certified sex therapist, I also help clients recover from the common effects of trauma on sex– including anxiety, avoidance, numbness, pain during sex, or feeling like your body is working against you. Sometimes survivors of sexual trauma find themselves engaging in sexual behaviors that don't align with what they truly want and prioritizing partners’ needs over their own. Therapy can help you learn how to be more present during sex, let go of unhelpful thoughts that get in the way of enjoying it, and experience intimacy in ways that feel safe and fun again.
No matter how long it’s been since the trauma happened, recovery is still possible! My goal is to help you feel safe in your own body again and reconnect with the parts of yourself that trauma forced you to leave behind. I will help you create a life that is no longer organized around just surviving. You will rediscover what it’s like to fully live again with greater peace, empowerment, and connection.
