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.

Experiences of sexual abuse can have a profound impact on your sense of safety, self-worth, relationships, and connection to your body.

I offer a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can explore these experiences at your own pace.

Whenever our boundaries are violated our sense of self can be diminished. Other side effects of sexual abuse are often shame, isolation and even guilt. Feeling responsible for the abuse is common among survivors. Counselling can support the courage to heal and to learn ways to put the pieces of your life together.
