When the Past Still Hurts Today

Memory gaps or flashbacks leave you confused and on edge.
During intimacy you freeze, feel nauseated, or go numb.
Shame, guilt, or family denial keeps you silent about what happened.
Your body screams, yet your voice feels stuck.

If any of this resonates, sexual abuse therapy can help you reclaim safety, voice, and power.

Our Trauma-Informed Approach

Safety & Grounding First

Every session begins with consent tools and calming exercises so therapy never overwhelms.

Evidence-Based Interventions

- EMDR with our EMDR-trained clinicians for rapid reprocessing of traumatic memories.
- Somatic and Mind-Body Practices to release stored tension.
- Cognitive & Attachment-Focused Therapy to challenge toxic beliefs and rebuild trust.

Voice & Empowerment

Naming the trauma turns "IT" into your story-one you control. We replace shame with truth: You are worthy of safety and love.

Couples Healing

Attachment-based sessions rebuild safety, teach respectful touch, and create shared language around boundaries and pleasure.
