Sexual Abuse therapists in Slaton, Texas TX
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.

Dr. Adam Shafer
Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
When the foundation of trust shaken (if not feeling broken) through experiences of trauma, the approach to restoring one's life must always be one of sensitivity, patience, and compassion. Without this, there will always be a risk that it will never feel safe enough to heal.
Dr. Monte Miller
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I have helped many women and men deal with past abuse — sexual, physical, and emotional. I will listen to your story and validate your feelings, whatever they may be. You were truly a victim, and I do not want to minimize that pain or your traumatic triggers and reactions. However, I do not want you to be a victim forever. I want to have you become empowered, stronger as a result of your recovery. I want you to be in a place where you are free to love without fear. Anything else than freedom, love, and happiness is letting that bastard beat you, and we just can't have that!
A person's sexuality and ability to have healthy relationships can be greatly impaired by sexual abuse, making someone very sexual or very much against sex. Processing this can give you more control over your own sexuality, however that might look like.
