Las Vegas, Nevada therapist: TyaCamellia (Tya) Stone, marriage and family therapist
Sexual Abuse

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!

Walnut Creek, California therapist: Alethea Gard'ner, LCSW, licensed clinical social worker
Sexual Abuse

Alethea Gard'ner, LCSW

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
Unfortunately, sexual abuse is way too common in our world. It often leads to traumatic responses not limited to difficulty in relationships, negative self image, shame, blame, and depression. Working through the abuse can be very empowering and change the way you view yourself. I have been privileged to work with many women and men as they process these memories and regain themselves.

San Diego, California therapist: Dr. Sven Schild, psychologist
Sexual Abuse

Dr. Sven Schild

Psychologist, PhD, SEP, TCC
My approach to working with survivors of sexual abuse involves integrating Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Somatic Experiencing (SE). ACT helps clients process their experiences and accept their emotions without judgment, while committing to actions that support their healing and well-being. EMDR is used to process and resolve traumatic memories associated with the abuse, reducing their emotional impact and fostering cognitive and emotional healing. SE addresses the physiological effects of trauma, helping clients release stored tension and restore a sense of safety and balance in their bodies. This comprehensive approach aims to empower survivors, support their recovery, and enhance their overall emotional and physical well-being.

Orange, California therapist: Marley Cote, marriage and family therapist
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.
