Sexual Abuse
Vida Mendez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LICSW, EMDR II
Sexual abuse can have lasting effects that continue long after the experience is over. You may notice anxiety, shutdown, difficulty trusting yourself or others, or reactions that don’t fully make sense. These responses are often your brain and body trying to protect you based on what you’ve been through.
I help clients work through the impact of sexual abuse at a pace that feels safe and manageable. Using EMDR, we address the experiences so they no longer carry the same emotional weight or continue to affect your daily life. The goal is to help you feel more grounded, in control, and connected to yourself again.

In therapy, we’ll move at your pace as you process what happened, rebuild trust, and reconnect with your sense of safety and self-worth. You are not defined by what was done to you, and together we’ll work toward healing, empowerment, and reclaiming your voice.
