Sexual Abuse
Mary Mikhail
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, BSW, MACP, RSW
Experiences of sexual abuse can affect how you feel about yourself, your relationships, and your sense of safety. You deserve support that respects your boundaries and does not pressure you to share more than you’re ready to.
In therapy, we can begin with what you’re experiencing now and explore ways to cope with the effects of trauma. If and when you choose, we can also make space to understand how past experiences may be connected to current difficulties. You remain in control of what you share and the pace of our work. Together, we can focus on the support, skills, and goals that feel most important to you.

Sexual Abuse
Romana Hrivnakova
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, RCC
Healing from sexual abuse requires a therapeutic space built on absolute safety, choice, and a deep understanding of the nervous system. Drawing on over 15 years of experience in high-intensity trauma and mental health settings, I provide a compassionate, paced environment to help you process the profound impact of this betrayal.
My approach uses a Parts Work lens to understand the survival strategies—such as dissociation, shame, or hyper-vigilance—that your system developed to protect you. We move at your pace, focusing on restoring your sense of autonomy and internal security. Together, we work to help your 'parts' unburden the weight of the past, moving toward a future of genuine healing and reclaimed self-worth.
