Sexual Abuse
Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In working with patients who have experienced sexual abuse, I offer specialized support tailored to their needs. This involves creating a safe and compassionate environment for them to explore their experiences and emotions. Through therapy, we address trauma symptoms, such as anxiety, depression, or PTSD, and develop coping strategies for managing triggers and flashbacks. I also provide education about trauma and its effects, as well as guidance on self-care and building resilience. The therapeutic process focuses on empowering survivors, promoting healing, and restoring a sense of agency and control over their lives.

Sexual Abuse
Dr. Evelyn Comber
Psychologist, L.C.P.C., Ph.D., M.A., M.P.C., M.H.S., B.G.S.
Dealing with sexual abuse, especially childhood sexual abuse, it is vital for you to know you are in control of the therapy. I bring my education, training, knowledge and expertise to the table; however, you have the control over the issue. I will gently encourage you, bring forth questions, but you say when, where and how we will delve into memories. You are not alone, I will be present, accepting, and boundaries will be well established and respected.

Sexual Abuse
Jonathan Schnapp
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Experiences of sexual abuse can have deep and lasting impacts—on how you feel in your body, how you relate to others, and how you understand yourself. Therapy offers a space where you can move at your own pace, with a strong emphasis on safety, choice, and respect. Together, we’ll gently work to process what you’ve been through, make sense of its effects, and reconnect with parts of yourself that may have felt pushed aside. The goal is not to rush or force anything, but to support a sense of stability, empowerment, and the possibility of healing over time.

Sexual Abuse
Dr. Selma Stainback
Psychologist, PsyD
I look forward to working with people who have survived sexual abuse to help them start to change the way they look at what happened to them, their experiences, how they can create the lives and connections they want and see how brave and powerful they were in the past, are now and can be into the future!

Sexual Abuse
Donald Glenn
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC
Sexual abuse is a specific trauma that affects one's relationship to self as well as to others. This requires a delicate and intentional approach rooted in training and experience. I encourage clients to consider EMDR as part of their treatment plan, as it is a validated treatment modality for all traumas, including SA. EMDR allows clients to process trauma in a safe, more controlled way, while allowing for more rapid relief of symptoms.
