Liz Witzke
Registered Psychotherapist, RPQ, BA, LLB, CSAT, CPTT
I provide a trauma-informed space to process the deep distress and afflictions associated with being a survivor of sexual abuse. In our sessions, we'll explore your experiences and work together to process pain, find clarity, and begin healing—drawing on my experience in trauma-focused therapy, my Gestalt training and 15 years in criminal defense. I provide a holistic approach that avoids re-traumatization and fosters trust, transparency, empowerment and resilience.

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.
Reach out today to book an introductory call and receive the care you deserve.

Ekta Abhay Lather
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Sexual abuse is a profound violation of an individual's autonomy and trust, encompassing any unwanted sexual contact or behavior. It can occur in various contexts and can affect people of all ages, genders, and backgrounds. Survivors may experience a range of emotional and psychological effects, including trauma, anxiety, depression, and feelings of shame or isolation. It's important to understand that the responsibility for sexual abuse lies solely with the abuser, and survivors are not to blame for what has happened to them. Support from trusted friends, family, or professional counselors can be critical in the healing process. Resources, such as hotlines and support groups, are available to provide guidance and assistance for those affected. Recovery is possible, and reaching out for help is a courageous and vital step toward reclaiming one’s life and well-being.

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.

Grounded Minds Therapy
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
You can heal from abuse, trauma and PTSD. You are important, and what you've experienced is important. Trauma can affect our lives in so many different ways. Survivors can lose hope, struggle with depression and crippling anxiety, find it difficult to work or maintain relationships, and may live in a constant state of fear. You may feel like you're completely alone and that no one understands what you've experienced. You might miss the "old you" or want things to go back to the way they were before- this is completely natural. If you're struggling to manage symptoms of trauma or PTSD, the therapists at Grounded Minds are here for you. We can help you process your experiences, learn coping tools to manage your symptoms and free yourself from the heaviness weighing you down. If you're ready to take the first step, please reach out to schedule a therapy session or free consultation call.

Caroline Boutefeu
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
I have a profound interest in supporting survivors of sexual violence, childhood sexual abuse and intimate partner violence. Dealing with the aftermath of sexual abuse can be incredibly challenging, but it's important to remember that healing and recovery are possible. These experiences can affect individuals in various ways - emotionally, physically, and psychologically. However, there are supportive pathways to navigate through this difficult time. It's crucial to recognize that what happened to you is not your fault and not your whole story. Your feelings of fear, anger, confusion, and isolation are valid reactions, and help is there whenever you need it.

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 * * *

Sarah Kaleem
Counsellor/Therapist, OT Reg. (Ont.), Psychotherapist
Do you have intrusive memories or nightmares about past incidents where you experienced sexual abuse? Do you feel 'stuck' in these past experiences and notice that these experiences have impacted your ability to feel safe, trust others, love yourself, or feel connected to others? If you have been told by a health care professional that you may have Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder or trauma-related symptoms, then you have come to the right place. I offer extensive work with PTSD and trauma using Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). CPT is designed to help you process your trauma by helping you to feel 'unstuck'. We will discuss you trauma(s) and the thoughts and feelings you may be having about it. You will participate in a journey of analyzing these thoughts closely and allowing your therapist to help you understand your trauma in a different way.
