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. 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.
