Sexual Abuse
Danielle Farabaugh
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I offer trauma-informed therapy for survivors of sexual abuse, providing a safe, supportive space to begin healing. My approach focuses on restoring safety, trust, and connection after trauma. Together, we work gently to process painful experiences, reduce shame, and rebuild a sense of control and self-worth. Using evidence-based trauma therapy, I help clients manage triggers, strengthen boundaries, and move toward empowerment, emotional resilience, and a renewed sense of wholeness in their lives.

Sexual Abuse
Elemental Self Institute
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Erin, Megan, Farrah, Ryan, and Annie all have extensive experience working with survivors of sexual violence in advocacy, crisis, and counseling settings. Calli also works primarily with survivors of sexual abuse. We believe that psychotherapy can be trauma-informed OR trauma-focused, and the client always has the say as to what we work on, what we discuss, and how/if we approach abuse history. Forcing trauma treatment is antithetical to the healing process.

Sexual Abuse
HUGH R STEWART III
Hypnotherapist, Ph.D., ACHt.
I was trained in Advanced clinical Hypnotherapy and as a Breathwork Release Therapist to work with sexual and physical abuse, both childhood sexual abuse and adult sexual abuse like rape and other non consensual abuse. It is important to get to the root or source of our sexual abuse and emotionally release anything in that period of sexual abuse back to the perpetrator(s) in order not to be triggered and project it onto someone or something else, and, not the original sexual abuser(s).

Philadelphia's identity as a historically working-class city with deep neighborhood roots shapes its therapy culture, with demand for therapists who understand economic stress, community violence, and the psychological weight of living in a city marked by stark racial and economic disparities. The city is home to world-class institutions including the University of Pennsylvania Health System, Jefferson Health, and Temple University Hospital, with a strong academic psychiatry and psychology community feeding into its private practice ecosystem. Philadelphia's large Black and Latino populations drive demand for culturally affirming therapists, and the city has a growing network of therapists of color across its diverse neighborhoods. Many practices are accessible via SEPTA, making therapy more reachable for clients across the city without cars.
