Sexual Abuse
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.

Sexual Abuse
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.
