Sharon Davern MSED, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed in Minnesota, Tennessee
The effects of sexual abuse in your life, whether you are a victim or very close to one, can cause you to struggle in a number of areas in your life. But it doesnt have to define you so in therapy we work to have you resolve those issues and find your true self.
37 Years Experience
Shelly Melroe
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Experiences of sexual abuse and other sexuality traumata are a visceral violation of you as a person. They can leave you not only feeling ashamed and guilty but also physically stuck in a state of feeling trapped. Used polyvagal-based neural interventions, Shelly will work with you to restore a felt sense of safety. She can guide you through healing from additional wounding caused by people saying you should have done something to get away. Shelly will help you understand that, biologically, your body has an automatic instinct to collapse and cooperate in a last resort attempt of survival. Unfortunately, it can lead your system to stay stuck in a state of disconnection, going through motions. Mind-body therapies can help you restore your sense of self and a felt sense of safety so you can fully engage in life.

Chad T. Allen
Licensed Psychoanalyst, MA, LPCC
I am a psychoanalyst in private practice in the Minneapolis–St. Paul area, working with adults who have experienced sexual abuse or boundary violations. These experiences can affect emotional life, relationships, and one’s sense of safety or trust in ways that may not always be immediately clear.
My work is grounded in the belief that healing involves developing understanding at a pace that feels safe and respectful. Psychoanalytic psychotherapy provides a space where difficult experiences can be approached gradually, with attention to how past experiences continue to shape present feelings, relationships, and self-experience. The aim is not to force disclosure, but to support the development of understanding and a renewed sense of agency over time.
I also work with couples when past experiences affect intimacy or emotional closeness within relationships.

Inner World Counseling Services PLLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
Healing from sexual abuse is a deeply personal, sensitive process that requires a space of absolute safety, pacing, and respect. Sexual trauma can leave a lingering aftermath of hypervigilance, shame, boundary confusion, and a profound disconnection from your own body or intuition. I specialize in helping adult survivors safely process these painful experiences without requiring you to flood your system or relive the trauma all at once. Utilizing evidence-based, root-cause modalities like EMDR and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), we work at your pace to gently untangle the survival habits, quiet the anxiety, and help you reclaim a sense of safety, ownership, and peace within your own life.
