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.

Sexual Abuse
Mary Mesiha
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
Experiencing sexual abuse can deeply affect how you see yourself and how safe you feel in the world. Healing from this kind of trauma takes time, patience, and a safe, supportive space. 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.

Sexual Abuse
Carrie Gauthier
Hypnotherapist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCHt
I am very passionate about helping men and women uncover and process the wounds of sexual abuse. This area is one of the main reasons I entered into this profession; to help uncover repressed memories, process them and authentically release the long held-back emotions and words to the antagonist that must be released to facilitate deep healing. We then have a beautiful forgiveness (if this is available to you) and compassion formula, followed by a chance to grow your inner child up into an emotionally mature adult, and integrate a new core emotional state of love. This is all part of the childhood regression. We show you the way to feel safe in your own mind and comfortable in your own skin again. We will uncover any maladaptive emotions and beliefs attached to the abuse and replace, reframe and rewire them with healthy alternatives. There is also a motivational, inspirational component within the hypnotic programmings to bring the joy back to life. I provide you with tools to reset your nervous system quickly so you have resources for if you feel triggered; this empowers you to emotionally regulate within minutes to avoid spiraling. We work to return your mental, emotional, physical and spiritual state back to homeostasis and empower you with methods to prevent self-sabotage or falling into harmful patterns. Ultimately, we pave the path that is unique for you to a state of inner peace under all circumstances, where you are able to channel your former pain into inspiration and move forward with clarity and confidence with the wisdom gained through your life experiences.

Sexual Abuse
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!
