Sexual Abuse
Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Sexual abuse is often spoken about in ways that are either too clinical or too minimized—leaving little room for the actual impact it has on your body, your sense of safety, your relationships, and how you move through the world. Many survivors carry layers of confusion, shame, anger, or disconnection, especially when what happened was not named, was dismissed, or was normalized in some way. Cultural, familial, and systemic dynamics can make this even more complex—shaping whether you felt believed, supported, or able to speak about it at all.
At Nour Counseling, we approach this work with care, pacing, and a deep respect for your autonomy. We don’t rush you into retelling or reliving experiences before you’re ready. We offer S.A.F.E. EMDR (Somatic and Attachment-Focused EMDR), which is especially relevant for sexual trauma because it prioritizes safety, stabilization, and the body’s response to trauma—not just the memory itself. Sexual abuse often lives in the nervous system as much as in the narrative, and this approach allows us to process trauma in a way that is more contained, less overwhelming, and attuned to your capacity in the moment.
Alongside this, we help you rebuild a sense of safety in your body, strengthen boundaries, and make sense of how the impact of the abuse may still be showing up in your life. We also name the cultural and systemic factors that shape how sexual abuse is experienced and responded to, so you’re not carrying that context alone. This work is not about pushing you to “move on”—it’s about helping you reconnect with yourself in a way that feels safer, more grounded, and more your own.

Sexual Abuse
Cheryl S Rubenstein
Psychologist, PhD
Sexual abuse is devastating and can have a variety of negative impacts. This is part of why I believe specialized training is useful in working with its victims. If you have been victimized this way, I’m so sorry. I invite you to talk with me and see if it feels like together, we might be able to help you heal.

Sexual Abuse
Dr. Amanda Malak
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist
I specialize in supporting individuals who have experienced sexual abuse by providing a safe, compassionate space to process the trauma and its effects. My approach involves using therapeutic modalities to help people heal, rebuild their sense of safety, and regain control over their lives. I help clients address feelings of shame, guilt, and fear while working through the emotional and psychological impact of abuse. My goal is to empower survivors to rebuild their self-esteem, manage symptoms of trauma, and move forward in a way that supports their overall healing and well-being. Referral to community organizations, like the Survivor's Sanctuary (https://sanctuary.metoomvmt.org/), are also helpful tools for people to use alone or alongside therapy.

Sexual Abuse
Elemental Self Institute
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Erin, Megan, Farrah, Ryan, and Annie all have extensive experience working with survivors of sexual violence in advocacy, crisis, and counseling settings. Calli also works primarily with survivors of sexual abuse. We believe that psychotherapy can be trauma-informed OR trauma-focused, and the client always has the say as to what we work on, what we discuss, and how/if we approach abuse history. Forcing trauma treatment is antithetical to the healing process.
