Sexual Abuse
James C. Carpenter, PhD, ABPP
Psychologist, PhD (Clinical Psychology, Ohio State U), Board Certified in Clinical Psychology (ABPP), PSYPACT
I gradually and not too happily became an expert in treating sexual abuse -- especially early abuse in childhood -- through working intensely with so many people who have presented with those issues. I understand the suggestibility of memory, and I never suggest or over-lead clients to these possible traumas. But they often enough present themselves indisputably into therapy work as it becomes deeper and safer. I have had and given a lot of training in this area and have a big toolbox of approaches at my disposal in working on this very delicate and important material.

Sexual Abuse
Melanie Collins
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC, LCMHC, Coach
Sexual abuse can affect far more than memories of what happened; it can shape safety, trust, boundaries, body image, relationships, sexuality, and the ability to feel at home in your own body. I help survivors process these experiences without defining themselves by what was done to them. Therapy moves at your pace and may include rebuilding self-trust, understanding trauma responses, reclaiming boundaries and choice, and exploring intimacy or sexuality when and if that becomes important to you. Healing is not about erasing the past—it is about reducing the power it has to dictate your present.

Sexual Abuse
Center for Authentic Life & Relationship, LLC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LPC, LMFT, CPCS, CSAT-S, CAADC, EMDR, CSTOP-Candidate
I specialize in helping survivors of sexual abuse heal from the emotional, relational, and psychological impact of what they have endured. My training in sexual addiction and sexual offender treatment gives me a deeper understanding of abusive patterns, grooming behaviors, secrecy, manipulation, and the dynamics that often leave survivors feeling confused, ashamed, or responsible for what happened. This knowledge informs my work with survivors by helping me provide trauma-informed, compassionate, and effective care that supports safety, clarity, empowerment, and healing.

Sexual Abuse
Sarah Gersick
Psychologist, Ph.D.
When we experience abuse, it creates patterns that make it hard to cope with new stressors in a healthy way. It helps to have a place to talk through what is happening in your life today while also working to understand how old wounds are interfering in the present. I am an experienced psychologist who can help you process the trauma with psychodynamic work and EMDR, so you can reduce the distress you are feeling now, and make deep changes that lead to better coping in the future.
