Sexual Abuse
Michaela Decker
Counselor/Therapist, LMFT
Frequently, people who have experienced trauma develop extraordinary survival skills. Often the strategies that were critical for survival, are not sustainable long term and thwart the ability to develop satisfying work, family and/or romantic relationships. Therapy provides an opportunity to become "unstuck" and transcend thinking and behavior patterns that are holding you back from realizing your potential. I specialize in the treatment of PTSD, anxiety and depression, and am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). When distress from a disturbing event remains, the upsetting images, thoughts, and emotions may create an overwhelming feeling of being back in that moment. EMDR therapy helps the brain process these memories, and allows normal healing to resume. EMDR therapy is not complete until attention has been brought to the past memories that are contributing to the problem, the present situations that are disturbing, and what skills the needed for the future.

Sexual Abuse
Caitlin Derouen
Licensed Professional Counselor, NCC, LPC, EMDRT
I am trained in EMDR, a highly effective method for treating complex and deeply rooted trauma to alleviate symptoms and remove the impact of triggers that may be affecting your daily life. I am also certified in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), a technique that allows me to guide patients through their internal process to achieve healing and freedom from their emotional and sometimes even physical pain associated with their trauma.

Sexual Abuse
Kathy Gusenkov
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT
If sexual abuse is a part of your story, it's quite common that it might surface within your intimate relationship as trauma symptoms. Often times, this might include complete withdrawal from sexual interaction, avoidance of sex, avoidance of vulnerability or emotional intimacy, dissociation, panic, anxiety surrounding sex, or even hyper sexuality or compulsive sexual activity. Sexual trauma that has not been processed can interrupt a couple's intimacy in a variety of ways. Couple therapy can help to resource some psycho education surrounding your relationship dynamic and how trauma may be impacting it, as well as resource strategies of working through and beyond the trauma into safe connection at your pace. Sexual abuse can already feel so isolating and difficult to carry one your own, so let's create the conditions necessary for your to feel supported and cared for so that you and your partner can reclaim intimacy, sexuality, and vulnerability in a way that feels safe for you both.

Sexual abuse is a terrible thing to go through. I approach therapy with empathy and compassion. At times it may be scary to talk about, and we develop strategies to better manage that anxiety.
