Sexual Abuse
Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed therapy for individuals who have experienced sexual abuse and related trauma, including the lasting emotional effects such as shame, guilt, worthlessness, anxiety, depression, fear, emotional numbness, and difficulty with trust, relationships, and self-esteem. These experiences can have a profound and long-term impact on emotional well-being, identity, and overall quality of life.
Brad takes a holistic and trauma-focused approach to healing from sexual abuse, providing a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where clients can process their experiences at their own pace. Therapy is designed to help clients reduce emotional distress, restore a sense of safety and control, and begin rebuilding self-worth and emotional stability.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-informed counseling, emotional regulation strategies, and holistic therapeutic approaches to support deep and meaningful healing. Treatment focuses on processing traumatic memories, reducing symptoms of distress, and addressing the underlying emotional impact that often persists long after the abuse has occurred.
Sexual trauma often requires specialized, trauma-focused treatment. While supportive talk therapy can be helpful, deeper healing typically involves addressing the nervous system responses, emotional wounds, and core beliefs formed through the traumatic experience. Brad’s approach is designed to support this deeper level of healing and long-term recovery.
Therapy is collaborative and individualized, allowing clients to feel safe, respected, and empowered throughout the healing process. The focus is on helping clients regain emotional balance, strengthen resilience, and develop healthier ways of relating to themselves and others.
Healing is possible. With the right support, clients can move beyond the impact of sexual abuse, release feelings of shame and self-blame, and rebuild a stronger, more grounded sense of identity, safety, and self-worth.

Sexual abuse, whenever it occurs, is a terrible assault that leaves deep emotional scars that can heal with successful trauma therapy. I use Energy Psychology which allows for rapid recovery from sexual abuse issues without re-traumatizing the victim of abuse.

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
Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Sexual abuse is often spoken about in ways that are either too clinical or too minimized—leaving little room for the actual impact it has on your body, your sense of safety, your relationships, and how you move through the world. Many survivors carry layers of confusion, shame, anger, or disconnection, especially when what happened was not named, was dismissed, or was normalized in some way. Cultural, familial, and systemic dynamics can make this even more complex—shaping whether you felt believed, supported, or able to speak about it at all.
At Nour Counseling, we approach this work with care, pacing, and a deep respect for your autonomy. We don’t rush you into retelling or reliving experiences before you’re ready. We offer S.A.F.E. EMDR (Somatic and Attachment-Focused EMDR), which is especially relevant for sexual trauma because it prioritizes safety, stabilization, and the body’s response to trauma—not just the memory itself. Sexual abuse often lives in the nervous system as much as in the narrative, and this approach allows us to process trauma in a way that is more contained, less overwhelming, and attuned to your capacity in the moment.
Alongside this, we help you rebuild a sense of safety in your body, strengthen boundaries, and make sense of how the impact of the abuse may still be showing up in your life. We also name the cultural and systemic factors that shape how sexual abuse is experienced and responded to, so you’re not carrying that context alone. This work is not about pushing you to “move on”—it’s about helping you reconnect with yourself in a way that feels safer, more grounded, and more your own.

Sexual Abuse
Cheryl S Rubenstein
Psychologist, PhD
Sexual abuse is devastating and can have a variety of negative impacts. This is part of why I believe specialized training is useful in working with its victims. If you have been victimized this way, I’m so sorry. I invite you to talk with me and see if it feels like together, we might be able to help you heal.
