Sexual Abuse
Carrie Torn
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Carrie specializes in treating trauma using EMDR and her primary focus has been sexual assault and sexual abuse. EMDR helps you heal from traumatic events and stop reliving painful past memories in order to experience life in the present. Upon completion of successful EMDR treatment, you will still remember what happened, yet you will not be overwhelmed when recalling painful memories of the incident.

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
Tamara McCord
Licensed Professional Counselor, LMHC, LCAC
We will create grounding techniques to reduce flashbacks or triggers, along with using EMDR. While we cannot change what has happened, we can remove anxiety when we think about the abuse, as well as see ourselves more positively.
