Dr. Anna Smith
Psychologist, PsyD, MEd, MA
The impact of sexual abuse or assault can live in the body and in relationships long after the events themselves—showing up as shutdown, hypervigilance, difficulty with touch, trust issues, or disconnection from your own desire. In a trauma-informed, gentle, and empowering space, we work at your pace to process what happened, release shame that doesn’t belong to you, and help you reclaim safety, pleasure, and agency in your body and intimate connections. Healing is possible, and you deserve to feel at home in your sexuality again.

Dr. Kelsi Clayson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
The effects of sexual abuse can linger long after the experience itself, shaping the way you see yourself, your relationships, and the world around you. You may struggle with trust, feel disconnected from your body, or experience shame that doesn’t belong to you. Maybe certain memories surface when you least expect them, or you find yourself avoiding situations that feel too vulnerable or triggering. However it shows up, know that your response is valid—your mind and body have worked hard to protect you.
Healing from sexual abuse is not about "just moving on" but about reclaiming your sense of safety, autonomy, and self-worth. In our work together, we will move at your pace, creating a space where you feel supported, understood, and in control of your own healing process. You are not defined by what happened to you, and you do not have to carry this alone. With care and intention, we can work toward healing, self-compassion, and the ability to fully step into your life on your terms.

Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Sexual abuse often creates very painful symptoms and is something for which I use a therapy called Prolonged Exposure (PE). In this therapy, we will revisit traumatic situations, process painful emotions, and change unhelpful beliefs about yourself and the world around you as a result of your trauma. People are often amazed at how quickly this treatment can work and by the very meaningful change that can result. For these reasons, this is one of my favorite treatments to provide.

Melanie Collins
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC, LCMHC, Coach
Sexual abuse can affect far more than memories of what happened; it can shape safety, trust, boundaries, body image, relationships, sexuality, and the ability to feel at home in your own body. I help survivors process these experiences without defining themselves by what was done to them. Therapy moves at your pace and may include rebuilding self-trust, understanding trauma responses, reclaiming boundaries and choice, and exploring intimacy or sexuality when and if that becomes important to you. Healing is not about erasing the past—it is about reducing the power it has to dictate your present.

Wichita's economy is anchored by aerospace manufacturing and agriculture, and therapists here frequently address the psychological pressures of industrial work, shift schedules, and the boom-bust cycles of manufacturing employment. The city has a large Hispanic population and growing Somali and Burmese communities from refugee resettlement, creating demand for multilingual and culturally informed therapists who work with immigration stress and cross-cultural family dynamics. Ascension Via Christi and Wesley Medical Center provide major institutional mental health resources, while the city's mid-size scale means many therapists maintain more accessible practices than in larger metros. Wichita's conservative faith community means spiritually integrated therapy is a common offering across many local practices.
