Farrah Bonde
Registered Social Worker, LISW
Mental health therapy for survivors of sexual abuse plays a crucial role in the healing process, offering a safe space to process traumatic experiences and develop coping strategies. Therapeutic approaches focus on addressing the impact of abuse, including anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Farrah works with survivors to rebuild trust, enhance self-esteem, and cultivate resilience, helping them regain control over their lives. Ultimately, therapy empowers survivors to navigate their emotions, foster self-compassion, and create a path toward recovery and well-being.

Debra Younger
Counselor/Therapist, LPCC, LPC, LMHC, CCPT
Nearly half of women (45.1%) in the United States experienced some form of contact sexual violence in their lifetimes and more than 1 in 6 men (16.9%) in the U.S. experienced some form of contact sexual violence in their lifetimes (NSVRC 2026). As can be seen by these numbers, sexual abuse affects both men and women. If you are a survivor of contact sexual violence and are looking for help, as a trauma informed therapist using an integrated approach of EMDR and Internal Family Systems, I can help. Please reach out for a free 15 minute consultation call to see if I might be able to help you.

Healing from sexual abuse requires a safe, paced, and trauma-informed approach.

Dr. George Lough
Psychologist, Ph.D., S.E.P.
Sexual abuse has significant negative emotional consequences that can last throughout one's whole life. Processing the abuse, and all the contradictory feelings that result from it, is essential for our healing. I have worked with many clients who have been the victims of sexual abuse.

Julien Moe
Hypnotherapist, Diploma in Clinical and Applied Hypnosis, Diploma in Life Coaching
Sexual abuse is considered treatable using hypnotherapy, which is often utilized to help survivors process trauma, regain self-worth, and reduce PTSD symptoms like flashbacks. It works by addressing subconscious beliefs and emotions in a safe, controlled manner. Experts like Dr. Nancy Irwin suggest it can transform anger and shame into empowerment.
If you have suffered from sexual abuse, I am right here to help you recover and heal. I will help you transform yourself into a new you. Of course, I use Dicit hypnotherapy. Patients with this disorder are getting resilient in no time and living a happy life now. So should you.
