Sexual Abuse
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.

Sexual Abuse
Peter Stathakos
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Registered Social Worker, BBA, MDiv, MSW, CMAT, CSAT
Being assaulted, raped, or surviving incest is a trauma you did not ask for and never deserved. The pain is often compounded by the reactions of others, leaving you feeling even more broken under the weight of the abuser's power, manipulation, and lingering, silent control.
I have worked extensively with survivors of incest, human trafficking, and other unimaginable experiences, helping them heal and reclaim their lives. I understand how frightening it can be to share your story, but I am a professional who is both equipped and committed to guiding you through your healing journey.

Sexual Abuse
Sierra Gaudreault
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Sexual violence can have a devastating impact on our relationship with our bodies, our identity, others and the world around us. It can be particularly isolating because we often blame ourselves, feel blamed by others or are made to feel inadequate when we cannot simply "get over it". I offer Cognitive Processing Therapy to help you rebuild your relationship with safety, trust, intimacy, control and self-esteem. I also teach you coping skills to manage emotions and dissociation.

Sexual Abuse
Kylie Feller
Licensed Professional Counsellor, MA, CCC
What happened to you was not your fault—and healing is possible.
Surviving sexual abuse can leave lasting imprints—shame, fear, disconnection from your body, and a deep sense of mistrust. These experiences often create protective parts that help you survive but may now be keeping you from fully living. In our work together, we move at your pace, always honoring your system’s wisdom. Using Internal Family Systems (IFS) and gentle somatic practices like TRE, I help you build safety from the inside out, reconnect with your body, and begin to unburden the parts of you that are still carrying the pain. You don’t have to face this alone. You are worthy of safety, healing, and wholeness.

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
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.

Sexual Abuse
Mary Mikhail
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, BSW, MACP, RSW
Experiences of sexual abuse can affect how you feel about yourself, your relationships, and your sense of safety. You deserve support that respects your boundaries and does not pressure you to share more than you’re ready to.
In therapy, we can begin with what you’re experiencing now and explore ways to cope with the effects of trauma. If and when you choose, we can also make space to understand how past experiences may be connected to current difficulties. You remain in control of what you share and the pace of our work. Together, we can focus on the support, skills, and goals that feel most important to you.

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 * * *
