Nicole Houde
Pre-Licensed Professional
I work with individuals who have experienced sexual abuse by providing a safe, supportive, and trauma-informed space to process their experiences at a pace that feels comfortable. Survivors may experience a range of responses, including anxiety, shame, difficulty trusting others, or feeling disconnected from emotions or the body. In therapy, I use a compassionate, client-centered approach that incorporates Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) to help make sense of unhelpful beliefs related to the trauma, along with building coping skills and emotional regulation strategies. The focus is on supporting healing, strengthening resilience, and helping you regain a sense of control, self-trust, and empowerment in your life.

Bergen Counseling Collective
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
What happened to you was not your fault. Whatever you did to survive, however you've coped, made sense given what you were facing. But the effects don't stay in the past. They show up in how you relate to your body, how you experience intimacy, how you trust or struggle to trust. Healing from sexual abuse is possible, but it requires a therapist who understands trauma deeply and can create a space where you feel genuinely safe. We won't push you to disclose more than you're ready to share. We'll move at your pace, helping you reclaim what was taken from you. Telehealth throughout Illinois. BCBS PPO and Aetna accepted.

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.
