Sexual Abuse
Tina Nickels
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
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.

Sexual Abuse
Lexi Eller
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-S
Sexual abuse is a beast, it can consume you in various facets of life and overtake who you once were, impact how you see the world, trust people and view yourself. Control is typically lost and you are feeling alone. I would love to meet you where you are at and help you find relief in some of your trauma processing to be comfortable in your own skin.

Sexual Abuse
Samia Geraghty
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Experiencing sexual abuse is a profound violation that can shatter your sense of safety, trust, and control, often leaving behind the heavy burden of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Trauma from sexual abuse does not just exist in your memories; it impacts your entire nervous system. You may find yourself trapped in a painful cycle of vivid flashbacks, severe anxiety, emotional numbness, or an intense, constant vigilance as if danger is always nearby. It is also common to battle overwhelming feelings of guilt, shame, or confusion, even though the abuse was entirely out of your control. Living in this state of survival is exhausting, but it is important to know that you do not have to remain trapped in the past. Therapy offers a gentle and safe space where you can begin to process your experiences at your own pace. Utilizing evidence-based, trauma-informed approaches, we will work together to help your mind and body understand that the danger has passed. Our goal is to help you release the heavy weight of shame, quiet your nervous system, and reclaim your body, your choices, and your life.

Sexual Abuse
Elizabeth Starnes
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S, ATR-BC®, REAT
Sexual abuse is often held in silence, leaving many survivors carrying deep shame, self-blame, and questions like “I should have done something differently,” even when the responsibility was never theirs. These experiences can impact how you see yourself, your sense of safety in your body, and your relationships, often leading to disconnection, numbing, or hyperawareness. In our work together, safety, choice, and trust come first. I integrate expressive arts therapy as a central part of the process, using modalities such as visual journaling, storytelling, movement, and other forms of creative expression to help explore and express what may feel difficult or unsafe to say out loud, alongside a parts-informed perspective to understand the aspects of you shaped by survival and protection. This work is approached with care and at your pace, allowing healing to unfold in a way that feels safe and supported.

College Station is home to Texas A&M University, one of the largest universities in the United States by enrollment, and the city's identity and mental health landscape are defined almost entirely by Aggie culture—the intense school spirit, Corps of Cadets traditions, and the social and academic pressures of a large flagship university in a relatively isolated college town in the Brazos Valley. Texas A&M's student counseling services are a primary resource, but demand consistently outpaces capacity at a university of this scale, and private therapists in the Bryan-College Station area serve both student and community populations. The conservative character and Aggie culture's emphasis on strength and tradition can create barriers to mental health help-seeking, particularly for men and members of the Corps. Common therapy concerns include student mental health, academic pressure, identity development, anxiety, depression, and the social dynamics of a community where university affiliation shapes nearly every aspect of life.
