TyaCamellia (Tya) Stone
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
It’s exhausting to live constantly in a state of protecting yourself, rather than embracing yourself.
It steals your ability to focus. It cheats you out of joy and ease. It invades your ability to have fun. You’re white-knuckling your way through every day, but hide it behind a smile.
I Will Help You:
Communicate difficult memories, thoughts and emotions in a cathartic way.
Navigate through triggers and flashbacks.
Process past traumas that still live in your body and mind.
Create a positive, empowered, and well-rounded sense of self.
Develop healthy coping skills and self-soothing techniques.
Renovate your relationship with sex and your body.
Create and maintain boundaries that encourage healthy relationships.
You've survived -- now it's time to thrive!

Dr. Daniele Levy, Bay Area Cognitive Therapy
Psychologist, PhD, MBA
When working with clients who have experienced sexual abuse, I use Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) to help them process and reframe the trauma. CPT helps individuals identify and challenge unhelpful beliefs related to safety, trust, power, control, intimacy, and self-esteem that often arise after abuse. We work together to explore and challenge these thoughts, facilitating healing and fostering a healthier, more empowered sense of self, while also addressing emotional and cognitive responses tied to the trauma. This approach is designed to promote lasting recovery and improved mental well-being.

Ricardo Peña
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Examples of scenarios that survivors might experience, which inspire them to seek help from others to heal, include:
Uncommon reactions to situations
Continued struggles with feelings and emotions
Sexual dysfunction
New experiences trigger past traumas
Survivors of sexual abuse have found that recognizing their trauma, speaking about it with others, and seeking justice are essential parts of healing. Those who engage with the healing process can move past their trauma and live healthy lives and eliminate some or all of the struggles they have experienced when coping with their trauma on their own.
