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.

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.

Dr. Stéphanie Gamache, PhD
Hypnotherapist, PhD

7 Years Experience
Online in Kansas City, MO Missouri (Online Only)
Kansas City sits at the Missouri-Kansas border and draws clients from both states, with therapists well-versed in navigating Midwestern values, family expectations, and the tensions between tradition and personal growth. The city has a significant African American population and community-level trauma tied to historical redlining and economic inequality, driving demand for culturally affirming and social-justice-informed practitioners. The University of Kansas Health System and Saint Luke's Health System provide major institutional mental health resources for the region. Kansas City's art and music scene sustains a creative community with its own distinct mental health needs, and therapists familiar with the psychology of creative careers are present.
