I have a profound interest in supporting survivors of sexual violence, childhood sexual abuse and intimate partner violence. Dealing with the aftermath of sexual abuse can be incredibly challenging, but it's important to remember that healing and recovery are possible. These experiences can affect individuals in various ways - emotionally, physically, and psychologically. However, there are supportive pathways to navigate through this difficult time. It's crucial to recognize that what happened to you is not your fault and not your whole story. Your feelings of fear, anger, confusion, and isolation are valid reactions, and help is there whenever you need it.

New Moon Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MACP, MSW, RSW, RP, RP(Q)
One of the greatest challenges in healing from sexual abuse is opening up about it to others. Many survivors feel ashamed of what happened to them and feel that there is something they could have done to stop it. Others start to question if it even happened or if it was just some big misunderstanding. We know that's not how this works. What happened was done to you, the way you responded was the only option. You did exactly what you needed to do.
Sexual trauma can make us feel like we're broken - like there's something wrong with us or like we're permanently damaged. These thoughts are symptoms, not facts. We can help you see things differently - this part of your story does not define you.
Imagine a life in which you don't have to keep trying to please others, to struggle silently while trying to keep it all together on the outside, to feel like you can't trust or that you're out of control and to put others' needs consistently above your own.
Our goal is to help you regain power and control in your life and to release some of the heaviness that you've been carrying. We want you to begin seeing the world as a space in which trust and safety are not foreign concepts. A world in which you don't have to hide from your past or distract yourself to get through the day.
Helping people overcome their traumas is the work that makes us get out of bed in the mornings. We specialize in trauma related to sexual abuse including childhood sexual abuse, incest, rape, sexual assault, human trafficking, and sexual harassment both within and outside the workplace.
Please reach out - even if you don't quite believe things can get better - so that we can talk about how we might be able to help.
We offer 1:1, couples, family and group therapy focused specifically on healing from sexual abuse and will connect you with a therapist who specializes in the therapy that would be the best fit for how your symptoms of sexual abuse are manifesting. Evidence-based therapies for sexual trauma used at New Moon Psychotherapy include Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Prolonged Exposure (PE), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy for PTSD (DBT-PTSD), Sensimotor Psychotherapy, Somatic Psychotherapy.

Rebecca Goldstein, TuneinTherapy, ADHD | Trauma | Autism
Registered Social Worker, RSW, MSW, MTA, BMT, FAMI
Healing from sexual abuse is deeply personal, and it often impacts far more than the original experiences alone. It can affect safety, trust, identity, boundaries, relationships, self-worth, nervous system regulation, sexuality, and the way you move through the world.
My approach is trauma-informed, compassionate, and grounded in creating a space where you do not need to rush, minimize, or explain your pain before you are ready. I understand that healing is not one-size-fits-all, and that survival patterns, shame, dissociation, anger, grief, or confusion may all be part of the process.
Together, we work at a pace that feels safe and realistic for you — focusing on rebuilding self-trust, understanding trauma responses, strengthening boundaries, reducing shame, and helping you reconnect with yourself in ways that support healing, empowerment, and meaningful change.

Lauren Kalvari
Registered Social Worker, PhD, MSW, RSW
Sexual abuse and sexual trauma can profoundly affect emotional well-being, relationships, self-worth, trust, identity, physical safety, and connection to one’s own body. In some relationships, sexual coercion or abuse may occur alongside emotional abuse, coercive control, intimate partner violence, or spiritually mediated forms of manipulation and shame. Survivors are often left carrying confusion, self-blame, fear, dissociation, or difficulty trusting themselves and others.
I provide trauma-informed virtual psychotherapy for adults recovering from sexual abuse, sexual trauma, coercive sexual experiences, and psychologically harmful relationships. Therapy focuses on restoring emotional safety, rebuilding self-trust, understanding trauma responses, and supporting healing at a pace that feels grounded and manageable. I am also attentive to the cultural, relational, and spiritual contexts in which sexual trauma occurs, including experiences shaped by religious teachings, family systems, silence, or loss of community.

Nathan Kretzschmar
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Healing from sexual abuse requires safety, choice, and pacing. Therapy can support you in processing trauma, reducing shame and self-blame, reconnecting with your body, and rebuilding a sense of agency. I use a trauma-informed approach and, when appropriate, may integrate EMDR or mindfulness-based work to support healing in a careful and collaborative way.

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.

Masha Andreeva
Registered Psychotherapist, HonBA, DTATI, RP
I have substantial experience facilitating both group and one-on-one art therapy for survivors of sexual abuse. I understand how abuse can distort your sense of self, leaving you feeling disconnected or powerless. Through art therapy, you can safely express and process emotions that may be difficult to verbalize, while reconnecting with your inner strength. The creative process provides a path to reclaim your voice, rebuild self-worth, and restore a sense of control. I am passionate about supporting you in reclaiming your life and your sense of self, helping you move toward empowerment and transformation.

Ryan Bittinger
Pre-Licensed Professional, Registered Psychotherapist (Q), DPsychotherapy, LPCC, CAS
Experiencing sexual violence, especially at the hands of someone that you should have been able to trust, leaves deep scars. These can feel too painful or shameful to talk about, leaving you to feel alone with them. Many years of practice in this area of equipped me to work with you at a pace that feels manageable and allows you to examine the many ways you've been impacted. This work can be slow, but the changes clients experience often leave them feeling stronger and more capable than ever.
