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.

Sexual Abuse
Ps. I Love You Psychotherapy | M. Caracciolo Professional Corporation
Registered Psychotherapist, HBEd, MA (Hons.), Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), C-DBT
Sexual abuse treatment for survivors and Sex offender treatment is different than other types of therapy for adults. Treatment for people who have sexually abused a child is a serious and encouraging process. Typically, it focuses on learning specialized strategies for stopping abusive behavior, being accountable, and taking responsibility for harm done. For persons who experience sexual abuse treatment is based on a compassionate, trauma, and emotionally focused lens. I often use DBT in these cases as well.

Sexual Abuse
Rakan Himadeh
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, ISP Candidate
Experiences of sexual abuse can leave deep imprints in the body and nervous system, often long after the event is over. Somatic Experiencing (SE) and Integral Somatic Psychology (ISP) offer a gentle, trauma-informed way to work with the effects of sexual trauma without having to retell or relive the story. SE helps rebuild a sense of safety in the body by slowly releasing stored survival responses such as freeze, shutdown, or hypervigilance. ISP complements this by supporting the safe processing of emotions like fear, shame, or confusion, helping you stay connected to yourself without becoming overwhelmed. Together, these approaches help restore boundaries, self-trust, and a sense of agency, allowing healing to unfold at a pace that honors your system

Sexual Abuse
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.

Sexual Abuse
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.
* * * If you decide not to go with our clinic, please ensure that your therapist is trained in EVIDENCE-BASED Psychotherapies for trauma - this will be the difference between months and years of therapy * * *
