Josh Murray- Hopeful Minds
Psychologist, MA, LLP
Sexual assault therapy and sexual abuse therapy can involve discussing challenging topics related to traumatic experiences, therefore it's critical to work with a trustworthy and helpful therapist to avoid being a victim of an abusive counselor. Therapists and psychiatrists specializing in traumatic experiences may provide validation, compassion, medical support, and unique coping skills as you process a challenging moment. It may feel cathartic for victims of sexual abuse to find support and to talk about these experiences in a safe space where they do not feel judged. Although talking about what has occurred can be difficult, it can also have mental and physical health benefits.
The traumatic impacts of sexual assault can last for an extended time after a traumatic event. Survivors might repress these events to create a safe environment, with some not discussing sexual abuse until years after. However, discussing what occurred or how you feel can help you release yourself from shame, feel confident, and learn unique coping skills.
A therapist specializing in sexual assault trauma can understand its impact on individuals and offer personalized guidance to your situation. Whether you're experiencing nightmares, flashbacks, dissociation, upsetting emotions, or another concern, you're not alone; support is available.

The trauma of sexual abuse can leave scars and affect how one shows up in the world. Dealing with secondary issues, such as lack of trust, fear, and other problems can help.

Erica Schultz
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LPC< NCC
I use EMDR therapy to support individuals healing from sexual abuse and sexual trauma in a safe, compassionate, and trauma-informed environment. Experiences of sexual abuse can have lasting emotional, physical, and relational impacts, often contributing to anxiety, shame, fear, difficulty trusting others, and negative beliefs about oneself. EMDR can help clients process traumatic memories, reduce emotional distress and nervous system reactivity, and begin to restore a sense of safety, empowerment, and self-worth.
