Sexual Abuse
Karen E Hellenberg
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
Sexual abuse is traumatic and causes feelings of shame, low self-worth and many other internal questions that leave us feeling alone and trapped. Overall sexual abuse can cause trauma in a persons life. I can help you identify, explore and heal from this trauma via psychotherapy and EMDR.

Sexual Abuse
Amber McKinney-Morgan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LICSW
Healing from sexual abuse requires a safe, paced, and trauma-informed approach. I support clients in processing their experiences, reconnecting with their bodies, and restoring a sense of safety and control. Using modalities like EMDR and somatic therapy, we work toward healing without re-traumatization.

Sexual Abuse
Dr. Brian Sharpless
Psychologist, Ph.D., Clinical Psychology; M.A., Philosophy
Sexual abuse doesn't effect everyone the same way. As such, there is no one treatment that works equally for everyone. I have been trained to use various forms of psychodynamic (e.g., Supportive-Expressive Treatment, Transference-Focused Psychotherapy) and cognitive-behavioral (e.g., Prolonged Exposure) therapies to help people suffering from the long-term effects of sexual and physical abuse.

Sexual Abuse
Zachariah Crooks @ Inner Harmony
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, ACHT, CGT, HFRM
Healing from sexual abuse is a courageous and deeply personal journey. You may carry feelings of shame, fear, anger, or disconnection from your body and sense of self. In our work together, I offer a safe, respectful, and nonjudgmental space to gently process your experiences at your own pace. Using trauma-informed therapy, hypnotherapy, and inner child healing, we’ll work to release the emotional weight of the past and rebuild your sense of safety, trust, and empowerment. You are not alone—and with the right support, healing is possible. I’m here to walk with you every step of the way.

Fort Wayne is Indiana's second-largest city and a hub for defense manufacturing, healthcare, and distribution logistics — an occupational mix that shapes a therapy culture in which shift work stress, workplace injury adjustment, and career identity are common themes. The city has a significant Burmese refugee community — one of the largest in the United States — creating important demand for therapists with cultural competence around refugee trauma, resettlement stress, and the challenges of navigating American systems. Parkview Health and Lutheran Health Network provide major institutional mental health resources alongside a private practice community. Fort Wayne's conservative faith community means spiritually integrated approaches are a prominent feature of the local therapy offering.
