Sexual Abuse
Debra Younger
Counselor/Therapist, LPCC, LPC, LMHC, CCPT
Nearly half of women (45.1%) in the United States experienced some form of contact sexual violence in their lifetimes and more than 1 in 6 men (16.9%) in the U.S. experienced some form of contact sexual violence in their lifetimes (NSVRC 2026). As can be seen by these numbers, sexual abuse affects both men and women. If you are a survivor of contact sexual violence and are looking for help, as a trauma informed therapist using an integrated approach of EMDR and Internal Family Systems, I can help. Please reach out for a free 15 minute consultation call to see if I might be able to help you.

Sexual Abuse
Jessica Oliver, Aspire Counseling
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
Sexual abuse is a unique form of trauma. Our founder specializes in treating PTSD caused by sexual abuse, rape or other forms of sexual violence and has brought on other therapists who do similar work. We've purposefully created a safe environment in our office for you to recover. We offer three different types of interventions that have been proven to be very effective in helping people recover from sexual abuse. One of those therapies, Cognitive Processing Therapy, was originally developed specifically for sexual abuse survivors.

Sexual Abuse
Dr. Brian Sharpless
Psychologist, Ph.D., Clinical Psychology; M.A., Philosophy
Sexual abuse doesn't effect everyone the same way. As such, there is no one treatment that works equally for everyone. I have been trained to use various forms of psychodynamic (e.g., Supportive-Expressive Treatment, Transference-Focused Psychotherapy) and cognitive-behavioral (e.g., Prolonged Exposure) therapies to help people suffering from the long-term effects of sexual and physical abuse.
