Sexual Abuse
Brad Croyle
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
I work with clients who struggle with Sexual Abuse and related issues, most notably feelings of Shame, Guilt, Worthlessness, Anxiety, Depression and Powerlessness, and many who report that they just feel bad about their selves. During our sessions, we will collaborate to create a plan for addressing these issues that helps you resolve them in a meaningful manner to restore functioning enabling and empowering you to move beyond your past. I practice from a Holistic perspective and commonly employ EMDR and other effective modalities with helping clients achieve balance and purpose in their lives and creative solutions to their problems. This includes exploring past issues and trauma that may be a factor. This often requires specialized therapy and talk therapy alone is often not enough. Talk therapy alone is not effective. Otherwise, anyone could simply say to just change what you are doing, and then you would change, but that does not work. Our goal is to make lasting and desired changes to promote healthy relationships and positive interactions. You can work to resolve past trauma and redefine who you are today and can move on.

Cynthia Leslie

The trauma of sexual abuse can leave scars and affect how one shows up in the world. Dealing with secondary issues, such as lack of trust, fear, and other problems can help.

Sexual Abuse
Dr. Kelsi Clayson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
The effects of sexual abuse can linger long after the experience itself, shaping the way you see yourself, your relationships, and the world around you. You may struggle with trust, feel disconnected from your body, or experience shame that doesn’t belong to you. Maybe certain memories surface when you least expect them, or you find yourself avoiding situations that feel too vulnerable or triggering. However it shows up, know that your response is valid—your mind and body have worked hard to protect you.
Healing from sexual abuse is not about "just moving on" but about reclaiming your sense of safety, autonomy, and self-worth. In our work together, we will move at your pace, creating a space where you feel supported, understood, and in control of your own healing process. You are not defined by what happened to you, and you do not have to carry this alone. With care and intention, we can work toward healing, self-compassion, and the ability to fully step into your life on your terms.
