Dina Hijazi
Psychologist, PhD, CSAT
Surviving sexual abuse can leave lasting emotional wounds that impact trust, safety, and self-worth. I offer a trauma-informed, compassionate space where survivors can begin to process their experiences at their own pace. Together, we focus on restoring a sense of safety, rebuilding boundaries, and supporting healing through empowerment and self-compassion. My approach honors your voice and autonomy, helping you reclaim your story and move forward with strength and care.

The trauma of sexual abuse can leave scars and affect how one shows up in the world. Dealing with secondary issues, such as lack of trust, fear, and other problems can help.

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.
