Sexual Abuse
Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with adults who are survivors of childhood sexual abuse. Many of the people I see have built full, functioning lives and are often seen as capable, responsible, and reliable by others. Inside, they may carry a private mix of shame, confusion, anger, or grief about what happened, and a sense that they have never really had space to tend to it.
Early abuse can leave traces in many areas of adult life. You might notice difficulty feeling at home in your body; anxiety, numbness, or shutdown in moments of closeness or vulnerability; a persistent sense that you are “too much” or “not enough”; or a tendency to doubt your own perceptions. There may be complicated feelings toward family members who knew, did not know, or minimized what happened, as well as patterns of over‑accommodating, people‑pleasing, or staying in relationships that feel familiar but not truly safe. Sometimes the impact shows up as depression, anxiety, perfectionism, or a feeling of being fundamentally different from others, without always linking it back to your early experiences.
I have worked with survivors of childhood sexual abuse for many years, and this is one of my primary areas of specialization. I know how varied and complex the impact can be. My approach is careful, attuned, and paced to your nervous system. We do not rush into details or push for disclosure. Instead, we focus on helping you feel safer inside your own body and mind, making sense of what happened at a pace that feels manageable, and loosening the grip of shame and self‑blame. Over time, we explore what it means to have real choice, boundaries, and agency in your adult life, including in relationships, work, and family.
My role is to offer a grounded, non‑intrusive space where you do not have to minimize your experience or protect anyone else’s feelings.

Sexual Abuse
Julien Moe
Hypnotherapist, Diploma in Clinical and Applied Hypnosis, Diploma in Life Coaching
Sexual abuse is considered treatable using hypnotherapy, which is often utilized to help survivors process trauma, regain self-worth, and reduce PTSD symptoms like flashbacks. It works by addressing subconscious beliefs and emotions in a safe, controlled manner. Experts like Dr. Nancy Irwin suggest it can transform anger and shame into empowerment.
If you have suffered from sexual abuse, I am right here to help you recover and heal. I will help you transform yourself into a new you. Of course, I use Dicit hypnotherapy. Patients with this disorder are getting resilient in no time and living a happy life now. So should you.

Libby Shaw
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, ATR-BC, LPAT, ACS
Living with the effects of sexual abuse, whether from childhood or adulthood, can feel extremely isolating, stressful, and at times even dehumanizing. Sexual abuse can make a person feel internally fractured. Counseling that focuses on healing your inner self, developing skills to cope with and regulate emotions, and move forward with confidence in your relationships and in yourself can be very successful. We can work together to outline and achieve these goals.
