Crystal Williamson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-S
Sexual abuse or assault is a type of trauma that affects us terribly deeply and pervasively, to the very core of our sense of safety and identity. EMDR can be very effective to treat this type of trauma and unroot it from our brains and nervous systems so that we can move forward in freedom. Allow me to help you finally find liberation.

Many of my recent clients have been victims of sexual abuse as children. This is a horrible and well-kept secret for most. I understand the feelings you are experiencing and I want you to know you did not deserve what happened to you. Together, we can walk you through this and past it. If your abuse was years ago, it is time to be free.

Elizabeth Starnes
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S, ATR-BC, REAT
Sexual abuse is more common than many realize—and often kept secret for years. Survivors may carry deep shame, fear, and self-blame, feeling unsafe in their own bodies or relationships. Trauma distorts how we see ourselves, leaving us overwhelmed, hyperaware, or emotionally shut down.
As a trauma-informed therapist, I prioritize safety, choice, and trust. Before diving into Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)—a structured 12-session approach for trauma recovery—I often introduce visual journaling. This gentle, non-threatening practice helps clients begin to access, feel, and make sense of their emotions at their own pace.
Expressive arts allow you to connect with your story without needing to speak it all at once. You're always in control of the process. We move slowly, honoring your boundaries and helping you rediscover your worth, voice, and inner resilience.

Michael J. Salas
Counselor/Therapist, PsyD, LPC-S, LCDC, CSAT, CST
Sex is one of the most intimate parts of a relationship, but when something isn’t working, it can lead to distance, frustration, and shame. As a Certified Sex Therapist with specialized training in helping individuals and couples improve their sexual connection, I offer a space where you can talk openly and work through what’s getting in the way.
Whether you’re dealing with erectile dysfunction, premature or delayed ejaculation, vaginismus, low desire, or pain during sex, these issues can take a toll on both you and your relationship. You’re not alone—and there are ways to work through it. Together, we’ll explore what’s going on emotionally, physically, and relationally, and develop tools to help you feel more connected, confident, and present.
I'm also a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT), and I work with people navigating sexual compulsivity, porn addiction, and out-of-control sexual behaviors. If your relationship with sex feels overwhelming or secretive, therapy can help you gain clarity, control, and a healthier sense of intimacy.
Experiencing sexual abuse can leave deep emotional, physical, and relational scars. You may carry shame, fear, numbness, or confusion long after the event itself. It’s common to feel disconnected from your body, your boundaries, or your sexuality—and to question whether healing is even possible.
I have extensive experience working with survivors of sexual trauma, and I approach this work with care, respect, and patience. I’m trained in EMDR and Somatic Experiencing, both of which help process trauma in ways that go beyond talk therapy and support healing at a nervous system level. As a Certified Sex Therapist, I also help clients reclaim their sense of sexual identity and connection, whether that means re-engaging with intimacy or learning how to feel safe in their own body again.
This is delicate, layered work—and you don’t have to rush it or do it alone. If you're carrying the impact of sexual abuse and are ready to begin healing, I’m here to help you move forward with support, clarity, and compassion.
