Sexual Abuse
Dayna Nelson, PsyD, LP
Psychologist, PsyD, Licensed Psychologist
Many people will experience some form of childhood sexual abuse, sexual harassment, sexual assault, or exploitation. Sexual abuse victims often experience lasting trauma, which can cause a person to live with deep emotional pain, fear, confusion, or posttraumatic stress far after the event has passed. Dr. Nelson is trained in trauma informed care and EMDR to help clients heal and process past sexual abuse and regain their emotional freedom.
In these circumstances, the support, guidance, and assistance of a therapist is fundamental to healing from trauma.

Sexual Abuse
Dr. Adam Shafer (Chicago, IL)
Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
When the foundation of trust shaken (if not feeling broken) through experiences of trauma, the approach to restoring one's life must always be one of sensitivity, patience, and compassion. Without this, there will always be a risk that it will never feel safe enough to heal.

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.
