James C. Carpenter, PhD, ABPP
Psychologist, PhD (Clinical Psychology, Ohio State U), Board Certified in Clinical Psychology (ABPP), PSYPACT
I gradually and not too happily became an expert in treating sexual abuse -- especially early abuse in childhood -- through working intensely with so many people who have presented with those issues. I understand the suggestibility of memory, and I never suggest or over-lead clients to these possible traumas. But they often enough present themselves indisputably into therapy work as it becomes deeper and safer. I have had and given a lot of training in this area and have a big toolbox of approaches at my disposal in working on this very delicate and important material.

Grief Recovery Center
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LPC, LCSW, LMFT, LP, LPA-IPA
Experiencing sexual abuse can be deeply traumatic and life-altering. Survivors often carry feelings of shame, fear, anger, anxiety, or powerlessness — emotions that do not simply fade with time. Healing requires safety, support, and compassionate care.
At Grief Recovery Center in Houston, our licensed therapists provide confidential, trauma-informed therapy for children, adolescents, adults, and families impacted by sexual abuse. We create a safe, nonjudgmental space where survivors can process their experiences, rebuild self-worth, and regain a sense of control.
Sexual abuse can affect every area of life, including relationships, intimacy, trust, and family dynamics. Our therapists use individualized, evidence-based approaches to help clients work through trauma at their own pace and begin restoring stability and empowerment.
You do not have to carry this alone. When you are ready to talk, we are here to listen — with care, respect, and understanding.
Call or text 832-413-2410 to schedule a confidential consultation. Healing is possible, and support is available when you’re ready.

Melinda Switzer - Beauty for Ashes Trauma Therapy and Treatment
Counselor/Therapist, Melinda Switzer, MA, LPC, NCC
I have been working with children who have suffered sexual abuse for the past four years. This population is suffering and growing at a rapid rate. This is another area where suicidality, anxiety, fear, and signs and symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PSTD) are present.

Gregg Unterberger
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.Ed., LPC
Easier said than realized, but sexual abuse doesn't define you. It was a tragedy that happened TO you. It was a horrific violation of boundaries. But with therapy, your worth, your connection to a "good-enough" you can be restored & the shame can be left in the past.
