Sexual Abuse

Stacy Costopoulos Smith

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, PAT-P

Sexual abuse is devastating and it happens so widely that many of us don't even recognize it. If you've experienced sexual abuse, I welcome you and I will work to offer you a safe place to have your experience held and respected completely. The shame we carry from sexual abuse can be so pervasive that it limits us in ways we don't realize. We develop protections that keep us from being vulnerable enough to really try new relationships again. I'm here to help validate angry parts and and to gently bring healing to the hurt parts so that shame can be healed and wholeness restored.

Sexual Abuse

Emma Esper

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC

I have experience in working with both covert and overt sexual abuse, stemming from childhood and/or adult experiences. There continues to be a lot of shame and stigma in coming forward and sharing these stories of abuse. I am there to help guide you to sharing your story, processing shame, and increasing feelings of hope. You are not what happened to you, you are what you choose to become.

Sexual Abuse

Marley Cote

Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, MS

Shame. Disgust. Betrayal. Terror. Panic. Helplessness. Rage. These are the common emotions that haunt or plague many survivors of sexual abuse. Further, sexual abuse can leave survivors feeling fragmented and dehumanized. These emotions are often only one part of struggling to survive, with flashbacks and trauma responses often frustrating or flooding survivors. Many survivors often wonder if they will ever feel "normal" again after what has happened, if it is even possible to find safety again within and outside of themselves. In my work with survivors, my clients discover what it means to be grounded again within their bodies, to find their bodies safe again, and to release trauma that has limited them for so long.
