Sexual Abuse
Liberation Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
I work with survivors of sexual abuse and sexual trauma, and I understand that these experiences can affect trust, relationships, sexuality, self-esteem, and the nervous system. Therapy focuses on restoring a sense of safety in your body, processing trauma at a pace that feels manageable, and helping you rebuild a sense of choice, agency, and ownership over your body and your life.

Sexual Abuse
Mind Body Connections
Counselor/Therapist
If you are a sexual abuse survivor we understand how hard it can be to trust your story. We will honor your system's need for time to trust both your clinician and your own system to disclose your truth. Using body based approaches, IFS, EMDR, Art therapy and more your story will unfold and heal. You will be guided to bring support and love to the younger version of yourself so that you can increase your self compassion and reclaim body autonomy.

Sexual Abuse
Marc Donegan, Psychotherapist
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychodynamic Analysis & Transactional Analysis, PACFA, BACP, ITTA, EATA, UKATA
Processing sexual abuse takes time, safety, and a therapist who won’t rush the pace. I work with clients using trauma-informed approaches to help make sense of what happened and its ongoing impact, always led by what the client is ready for.

Sexual Abuse
Cicek Erdem
Psychologist, PhD
Experiences of sexual abuse can leave lasting effects on how we relate to ourselves, our bodies, and others. You may struggle with trust, shame, boundaries, sexuality, anxiety, dissociation, or feeling disconnected from yourself. My approach is relational and trauma-informed, prioritizing safety, pacing, and helping clients rebuild a sense of agency and self-trust. For some clients, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) can be a supportive adjunct to trauma work, helping create movement in places that may feel difficult to access through words alone.
