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
Avery Wageman Passion Flower Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Experiencing sexual abuse can have profound and lasting emotional, psychological, and relational impacts. It may affect how you feel in your body, your sense of safety, trust in others, and your ability to feel grounded or connected in daily life. These experiences are often complex and deeply personal, and healing can take time.
Avery provides a safe, compassionate, and trauma-informed space where you can share your experiences at your own pace, without pressure or judgment. The focus is on helping you feel supported as you process what happened, rebuild a sense of safety and control, and reconnect with yourself in a way that feels empowering and respectful. Together, you’ll work toward healing, resilience, and restoring a sense of stability and self-trust.

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.

Sexual Abuse
Kristin Wright
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
So many people who have experienced sexual abuse feel they need to hide their experiences because they have often been invalidated, shamed, or not believed. There is so much pain and difficult emotions that become overwhelming to handle on your own. With my many years of experience working with sexual abuse survivors, I understand the great courage and strength it takes to be vulnerable and seek out help. I can offer a safe and judgement free space for you to process your pain and help you find the light in your life you have searching for.
