Kristee Barker
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-S
I am a trauma specialist. Sexual abuse leaves deep and complicated wounds — not just in the body, but in identity, trust, boundaries, and the nervous system. I work with you to rebuild safety at a pace that feels respectful and empowering, helping you understand the parts of yourself that had to adapt in order to survive. Using EMDR, IFS, and other trauma‑focused approaches, we gently process the memories, shame, fear, and self‑blame that often linger long after the abuse ends. My goal is to help you feel grounded, whole, and in control of your story again.

Amanda Etienne
Psychologist, Psy.D
Sexual abuse and relational trauma are a core part of my clinical focus, and I know how layered this work can be - especially for women who've spent years intellectualizing or minimizing what happened to them. I help you slow down enough to actually feel what's there, using approaches like EMDR, at a pace that never asks more of you than you're ready to give.

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.

Julien Moe
Hypnotherapist, Diploma in Clinical and Applied Hypnosis, Diploma in Life Coaching
Sexual abuse is considered treatable using hypnotherapy, which is often utilized to help survivors process trauma, regain self-worth, and reduce PTSD symptoms like flashbacks. It works by addressing subconscious beliefs and emotions in a safe, controlled manner. Experts like Dr. Nancy Irwin suggest it can transform anger and shame into empowerment.
If you have suffered from sexual abuse, I am right here to help you recover and heal. I will help you transform yourself into a new you. Of course, I use Dicit hypnotherapy. Patients with this disorder are getting resilient in no time and living a happy life now. So should you.
