Sexual Abuse
Jaswir Dhillon
Registered Psychotherapist, MA
Experiences of sexual abuse can have a profound impact on your sense of safety, self-worth, relationships, and connection to your body. You may find yourself struggling with trust, shame, anxiety, difficult emotions, or patterns that developed as ways of coping and surviving. I offer a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can explore these experiences at your own pace. Together, we'll work toward understanding the impact of trauma, restoring a sense of safety and empowerment, and fostering healing and self-compassion.

Sexual Abuse
Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
If you have experienced sexual abuse, you may carry pain that feels difficult to put into words. You may experience shame, fear, anger, numbness, or confusion about your own reactions. Trauma can affect how you see yourself, how you trust others, and how your body responds in moments of closeness or stress. What happened to you was not your fault.
At Selah Counselling, we approach sexual abuse with deep compassion and clinical care. Your safety and pacing matter. We do not rush the process. We begin by building stabilization and nervous system regulation so your body feels safer before exploring traumatic memories. Over time, we gently process the impact of the abuse, address distorted beliefs that may have formed, and support you in reclaiming your voice and boundaries. Healing is possible. You deserve a space where you are believed, respected, and supported as you move toward strength and restoration.

Liz Witzke
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, BA, LLB, CSAT
I provide a trauma-informed space to process the deep distress and afflictions associated with being a survivor of sexual abuse. In our sessions, we'll explore your experiences and work together to process pain, find clarity, and begin healing—drawing on my experience in trauma-focused therapy, my Gestalt training and 15 years in criminal defense. I provide a holistic approach that avoids re-traumatization and fosters trust, transparency, empowerment and resilience.
