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.

Angelica Esposito - AE Therapy
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW, EMDR Therapist
Healing from sexual abuse can be a complex and deeply personal journey. The trauma left behind may affect your sense of safety, trust, and self-worth. In therapy, we create a safe and compassionate space where you can process your experiences at your own pace. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) can be particularly effective in helping to reduce the emotional distress associated with traumatic memories, allowing you to reclaim your sense of self and well-being. Together, we can work through the pain, helping you rebuild trust, heal from past wounds, and move forward toward a place of empowerment and peace. You don’t have to carry this burden alone. One of the unique aspects of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is that you don’t have to disclose all the details of your traumatic experience for it to be effective. EMDR works by focusing on the emotions, body sensations, and thoughts connected to the trauma, allowing your brain to reprocess these experiences without the need to relive or discuss every detail. This can make the healing process feel safer and less overwhelming, particularly for survivors of sexual abuse or other deeply personal traumas. Together, we’ll work through the healing process in a way that feels right for you, offering support every step of the way.
