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
Amanda S. Vaught
Psychologist, PsyD
I offer trauma-informed therapy for survivors of sexual abuse, providing a safe, supportive space to begin healing. My approach focuses on restoring safety, trust, and connection after trauma. Together, we work gently to process painful experiences, reduce shame, and rebuild a sense of control and self-worth. Using evidence-based trauma therapy, I help clients manage triggers, strengthen boundaries, and move toward empowerment, emotional resilience, and a renewed sense of wholeness in their lives.

Sexual Abuse
Sara Fraser
Psychologist, PhD
Because I have a speciality in trauma processing therapies, folks with past abuse can often find real relief in working through the implications of trauma-not just the memories of these experiences but how the body does indeed "keep the score". Trauma work needs to include both strong relational rapport, education about how trauma impacts on all levels of functioning and processing therapies such as EMDR or Deep Brain Reorienting to assist with deep healing.

Authentically You Counseling
Treatment Center, LCMHC
Scheduling at AYC is easy - schedule an intake as soon as next week. Finding the courage to be true to yourself despite the challenges you have to overcome is the ultimate goal of therapy. I believe one of the greatest grievances is living an inauthentic life with who you are. Regardless of what you’ve been through, if something is stopping you from living your truth - if fear prevents you from engaging in life the way you want or you are attempting to live up to some societal or personal expectation so far out of reach it hurts - If something is preventing you from living your fullest life, you can make a difference!
I want to help you reach your fullest potential according to your personal truth, values and beliefs. If we embark on this journey together, you will be the driver. I will simply help you see the different paths to reaching your end goal. In the end, you must be true to yourself in choosing the path you wish to take - or none at all.
Finding your truth sometimes means making a decision about whether or not to live your full truth. We can work together to help you explore your options to make the right choice for You. Making the call (or email) to start your journey is the first step - Let us start your journey together!

Sexual Abuse
Dayna Nelson, PsyD, LP
Psychologist, PsyD, Licensed Psychologist
Many people will experience some form of childhood sexual abuse, sexual harassment, sexual assault, or exploitation. Sexual abuse victims often experience lasting trauma, which can cause a person to live with deep emotional pain, fear, confusion, or posttraumatic stress far after the event has passed. Dr. Nelson is trained in trauma informed care and EMDR to help clients heal and process past sexual abuse and regain their emotional freedom.
In these circumstances, the support, guidance, and assistance of a therapist is fundamental to healing from trauma.
