Sexual Abuse
Emily Sledge
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW
You are brave for being willing to focus on healing the wounds that stem from the sexual abuse your experienced or are experiencing. Maybe you tried to forget about it for a time - some attempt to for a lifetime, but you see the ways this experience has affected you and your life. So, here you are - being brave - willing to look back on that experience that haunts you and has caused so much pain.
When you work with me to heal sexual trauma, we first focus on regulating your nervous system - this helps you to feel confident in your ability to relax and self regulate your emotions and thoughts. Then, and only when you feel ready, we can cognitively process those hurts while helping you to maintain a regulated stated. This is what help you to heal. Revisiting and reprocessing your experience while emotionally regulated dissolves the distress associated with these memories. You gain the cognitive space to heal and understand your experience from new perspectives. You heal impacts on your sexuality and sense of trust.

Ryan Holliman
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, LPC-S
You don’t talk much about that day, but it still upsets you. That traumatic experience has infected all the other parts of your life. You find yourself avoiding situations and people that remind you of it. It’s getting to the point that your spending most of your life avoiding things. And that memory hurts. Sometimes you feel like your broken, and wonder if your life will ever feel “normal” again. You’ve tried to talk to family, but they can’t do much more than lend a sympathetic ear. And you’ve been to therapy, but you just talked about the trauma over and over, and that didn’t really seem to help anything. So is this it?
When I work with clients struggling with trauma I use an intervention called Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). While I could tell you all the neuroscience, what really happens in EMDR is we drain all of the emotions from your traumatic memory and install a positive belief about yourself.
Through EMDR we help you finally recover from the past. You can discard the negative beliefs about yourself that traumatic experience made you believe, and you can recapture a healthy and positive life. You need a trusted guide to help you through your trauma, and I can help. Call today to schedule a free initial 15 minute consultation.

Psychologist
Many of our therapists work with sexual abuse survivors. We feel that sexual abuse survivors need and deserve a safe and secure place to discuss their pain and survivor-hood. Dr. Sanness and Dr. Nelson specialize in trauma. Dr. Sanness also specialized in Complex Trauma (repeated trauma that has occurred over developmental time periods throughout the life-span).

Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Sexual abuse often creates very painful symptoms and is something for which I use a therapy called Prolonged Exposure (PE). In this therapy, we will revisit traumatic situations, process painful emotions, and change unhelpful beliefs about yourself and the world around you as a result of your trauma. People are often amazed at how quickly this treatment can work and by the very meaningful change that can result. For these reasons, this is one of my favorite treatments to provide.
