Barbara Freedman
Pre-Licensed Professional, M.Ed., OAMHP(Ontario Association of Mental Health Professionals-2704-G)
As a counsellor on the Victim Services VQRP(Victim Quick Response Program)List I have successfully worked with hundreds of clients both children as well as adults who were victims of sexual abuse and/or trauma. For children who are victims use activities from “A Child Sexual Abuse Kit”. The Shame that accompanies this form of abuse encourages its survivors us to feel flawed and inadequate as they internalize the consistent message that their experience is too horrible for words…and, by implication, that consequently THEY are too horrible for words.Such paralyzing and isolating feelings associated with this form of abuse, particularly shame often further results in a need to punish oneself for perceived wrong doing. As many survivors feel that their treatment is “proof” that they are worthless, when rejected by others, they in turn punish further themselves. Self -sabotaging behavior may include poor and self -destructive choices, very often even on an unconscious level.

Sexual Abuse recovery prioritizes safety, choice, and pacing. We’ll stabilize first—grounding, boundaries, triggers—then process memories only when ready, integrating body-based and cognitive tools. The work includes reducing shame and reclaiming agency in daily life. Available in person in Durham and online across Ontario.

At Collaborative Care Therapy, we provide compassionate and specialized support for individuals who have experienced sexual abuse. Recognizing the profound impact that such experiences can have on one's mental and emotional health, we are committed to offering a safe, respectful, and confidential environment where healing can begin.
Our therapists are trained in trauma-informed care, ensuring that every aspect of treatment acknowledges and addresses the complexities of trauma recovery. We use evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), tailored to help alleviate the distressing symptoms often associated with sexual abuse, such as PTSD, anxiety, depression, and issues with trust and intimacy.
Understanding that the path to recovery is personal and unique, we work closely with each client to develop a therapeutic plan that respects their individual experiences and paces the healing process according to their comfort level. Our goal is not only to help survivors cope with the immediate effects of trauma but also to empower them to reclaim a sense of control and self-worth.
At Collaborative Care Therapy, we are here to support you through every step of your journey toward recovery, offering the understanding, tools, and care needed to move forward.

Alessia Zita | Zita Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapy (Qualifying)
Do you often feel unsafe, ashamed, or disconnected from your body or emotions? Many people who have experienced sexual abuse grow up learning to hide their feelings, doubt their perceptions, or carry shame and fear that was never theirs to hold. You may find yourself replaying experiences, avoiding triggers, or struggling to feel fully present in relationships.
These reactions are not a sign of weakness—they are natural protective responses to trauma. What matters is how you process and work with them now. Together, we can create a safe space to explore your experiences, rebuild trust in yourself, and support you in feeling more grounded, empowered, and lighter over time. You survived for a reason. Let’s explore why, and what healing can look like now.

Kingston is a historic Ontario city at the junction of Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River, home to Queen's University—one of Canada's leading universities—the Royal Military College of Canada, and an unusually high concentration of federal correctional institutions, which together shape a distinctive community with university, military, and criminal justice populations all coexisting in a relatively small city. Queen's University's student mental health services are a major resource, and the Royal Military College's close-knit military community creates specific needs around service identity, transition, and trauma. The correctional sector workforce—correctional officers, administrators, and support staff at Kingston's several federal penitentiaries—faces unique occupational stress and trauma exposure that is an important dimension of the local mental health landscape. Common therapy concerns include student wellbeing and academic pressure at Queen's, military identity and transition, correctional sector occupational trauma, anxiety, depression, and the identity challenges of a city with an unusually complex and layered community character.
