Sexual Abuse
Megan Anderson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Therapist & A Couch is a space rooted in the belief that every part of you belongs. Many people who walk through my door are navigating relationships that have become unsafe or harmful, including experiences of sexual abuse. These struggles often point to deeper questions about connection, safety, relational patterns, and identity, which refers to the ways we learn to be with others and with ourselves.
No matter the story someone arrives with, the diagnoses they may carry, or the identities they may hold, we begin with the core human experiences that connect us all — our wishes, fears, wounds, conflicts, patterns, walking contradictions...our messiness. Within these places live the quiet truths that shape who we are. Together, we gently sift through what’s been heavy so you can feel lighter, freer, and more whole.

Sexual Abuse
Sara Deese
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, MCAP, LMHC-QS
The impact of sexual abuse runs deep—affecting trust, safety, self-worth, and the ability to feel fully present in your own body. Whether the abuse happened recently or years ago, healing is possible. I offer a safe, compassionate space where you can begin to process what happened at your own pace—without judgment or pressure. Together, we’ll work to reduce shame, rebuild a sense of safety, and help you reconnect with your strength, voice, and sense of self. You are not alone, and your healing matters.

Sexual Abuse
Tamara McCord
Licensed Professional Counselor, LMHC, LCAC
We will create grounding techniques to reduce flashbacks or triggers, along with using EMDR. While we cannot change what has happened, we can remove anxiety when we think about the abuse, as well as see ourselves more positively.

Sexual Abuse
Dr. Kimberly E. Johnson
Psychologist, PsyD, HSPP, APIT
A significant portion of my client base have experienced childhood and adult sexual abuse. Not infrequently the abuse may be by a family member or someone you know. Surviving the abuse is an important achievement. Being able to confront, process and successfully move forward in life is an important goal that takes sensitivity, trust and an experienced therapist. I strive to provide this to my clients on their path to healing.

Sexual Abuse
Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with adults who are survivors of childhood sexual abuse. Many of the people I see have built full, functioning lives and are often seen as capable, responsible, and reliable by others. Inside, they may carry a private mix of shame, confusion, anger, or grief about what happened, and a sense that they have never really had space to tend to it.
Early abuse can leave traces in many areas of adult life. You might notice difficulty feeling at home in your body; anxiety, numbness, or shutdown in moments of closeness or vulnerability; a persistent sense that you are “too much” or “not enough”; or a tendency to doubt your own perceptions. There may be complicated feelings toward family members who knew, did not know, or minimized what happened, as well as patterns of over‑accommodating, people‑pleasing, or staying in relationships that feel familiar but not truly safe. Sometimes the impact shows up as depression, anxiety, perfectionism, or a feeling of being fundamentally different from others, without always linking it back to your early experiences.
I have worked with survivors of childhood sexual abuse for many years, and this is one of my primary areas of specialization. I know how varied and complex the impact can be. My approach is careful, attuned, and paced to your nervous system. We do not rush into details or push for disclosure. Instead, we focus on helping you feel safer inside your own body and mind, making sense of what happened at a pace that feels manageable, and loosening the grip of shame and self‑blame. Over time, we explore what it means to have real choice, boundaries, and agency in your adult life, including in relationships, work, and family.
My role is to offer a grounded, non‑intrusive space where you do not have to minimize your experience or protect anyone else’s feelings.
