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.

Maggie Reynolds
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, EMDR Certified, NCC
I offer empathetic, non-judgmental support to those who have suffered sexual abuse, whether it occurred long ago, recently, or both. I understand the devastation it causes to one's beliefs about oneself, as well as the way it can color every other facet of life with distrust and fear. The healing process itself is difficult and usually requires patience, perseverance, and the supportive structure of a healthy therapeutic relationship. Together, we can explore and process what happened to you, the ways you continue to be impacted by sexual abuse, and how you can find empowerment and transformation through healing and therapy.

Ben Dickstein
Psychologist, PhD
I often apply current, best-practice treatments for PTSD and depression to aid my clients in recovery from past sexual abuse experiences, both from child- and adulthood. These techniques help clients heal regardless of whether the abuse occurred briefly or over a prolonged period. I treat both men and women with histories of sexual abuse and assault and try to be especially attuned to the unique forms of stigma that are often perceived by clients.

Sushma Cheturvedula
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Sexual abuse encompasses any non-consensual sexual activity or behavior imposed upon an individual. I would aid those grappling with sexual abuse by furnishing a secure and empathetic environment for them to process their ordeals. Collaboratively, we would delve into the emotional repercussions of the abuse, address symptoms of trauma or PTSD, and devise coping mechanisms to manage triggers and distressing memories. Moreover, I would support them in reestablishing a sense of safety and trust while navigating any relational or intimacy challenges stemming from the abuse. Our objective is to empower them to overcome the trauma, reclaim their identity, and progress towards recovery and healing.
