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
Faye Williams
Marriage and Family Therapist, ALMFT
Sexual abuse is a systemic and personal issue, affecting the victim in deeply personal ways. Therapy can offer a supportive space to untangle the messages that abuse teaches us about ourselves. It takes time and a gentle approach, and eventually regaining autonomy and sense of self is worth the effort.
