Sexual Abuse
Jennifer Kehrle
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Sexual abuse trauma can be very difficult for people to bring to therapy due to the sensitive nature of the topic. I take a gentle, compassionate approach to sexual abuse recovery that allows the sexual abuse survivor to maintain control of the pace and intensity of sessions. This provides a sense of empowerment to survivors. I primarily use approaches of somatic work, brainspotting, and IFS therapy for sexual abuse trauma recovery.

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.

XaHara A. MeGod
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC, R-DMT, CPT
Healing from sexual abuse requires profound gentleness and safety. I offer trauma-informed, somatic therapy that lets you set the pace. We focus on reconnecting with your body without retraumatization, restoring boundaries, and releasing shame. You are believed here. You are not broken. And healing is possible, one small breath at a time.

Sexual Abuse
Dr. Anna Smith
Psychologist, PsyD, MEd, MA
The impact of sexual abuse or assault can live in the body and in relationships long after the events themselves—showing up as shutdown, hypervigilance, difficulty with touch, trust issues, or disconnection from your own desire. In a trauma-informed, gentle, and empowering space, we work at your pace to process what happened, release shame that doesn’t belong to you, and help you reclaim safety, pleasure, and agency in your body and intimate connections. Healing is possible, and you deserve to feel at home in your sexuality again.
10 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.
