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!

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.
