Sexual Abuse
Sara Deese
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, MCAP, LMHC-QS
The impact of sexual abuse runs deep—affecting trust, safety, self-worth, and the ability to feel fully present in your own body. Whether the abuse happened recently or years ago, healing is possible. I offer a safe, compassionate space where you can begin to process what happened at your own pace—without judgment or pressure. Together, we’ll work to reduce shame, rebuild a sense of safety, and help you reconnect with your strength, voice, and sense of self. You are not alone, and your healing matters.

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.
