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.

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
Bobby Newell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, SEP
I specialize in supporting individuals who have experienced sexual abuse, offering a safe, confidential, and nonjudgmental space to begin healing at your own pace. Experiences like this can impact your sense of safety, trust, and connection to your body and relationships. Together, we focus on gently processing what you’ve been through while building a sense of stability, control, and self-trust. My approach is trauma-informed and integrates both emotional and body-based techniques, helping you move out of survival mode and toward a place of greater safety, strength, and empowerment.

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.

PTSD We will explore them together and work on learning healthy ways to cope, along with processing and healing the event.

Sexual Abuse
Amy K. Cummings-Aponte, LMHC-QS, LCPC, LCMHC
Licensed Professional Counselor, Florida LMHC-QS MH20515, Maine LPC CC6872, North Carolina LCMHC 20351
Trauma touches many people at some point in their life, but the trauma of sexual abuse leaves a deeper and more lasting mark on the survivor. Utilizing a combination of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness, I guide survivors down their chosen path of healing.
