Sexual Abuse
Sarah Elaine Zimmerman
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-C (MD), LCSW-R (NY), LCSW (FL, VA), EMDR Certified Psychotherapist
For 25+ years I've worked with clients who are survivors of sexual abuse including molestation, rape and incest. I've worked in several settings including a rape and sexual assault unit, a safehouse shelter and private practice. I want to help you with your healing process and for you to understand that you did nothing to deserve this. You want a therapist who is nurturing and supportive as you process this trauma. It's essential to have a therapist who also has the expertise to teach skills that you need to keep yourself safe and to put the traumatic memories in your past. I am trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for trauma work. You don't have to do this alone.

Sexual Abuse
Lauren A. Matos
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, MCAP
For 10 years, I have been helping survivors of sexual abuse find healing through EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy. This approach offers a structured yet compassionate path to addressing traumatic memories, allowing clients to process their experiences safely and effectively. Through EMDR, I guide clients to reframe painful memories, helping to reduce the emotional intensity and regain control over their narratives. With a focus on building resilience and restoring a sense of safety and self-worth, I provide a caring and supportive space for each person’s unique healing journey. It is a privilege to witness my clients reclaim their inner strength, empowering them to move forward with renewed confidence and hope.

Sexual Abuse
Barbara Magnusson Coffee
Licensed Professional Counselor, Ph.D., LMFT
Sadly, statistics show 1/4 girls were sexually abused and 1/5 boys. It is likely under-reported since victims often feel shame and responsibiity which is not theirs to carry.

Sexual Abuse
Lisa C. Holder
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, LPC
Sexual abuse can be one of the most debilitating forms of trauma for anyone, but especially children. It causes shame and sets individuals up for poor relationships in the future. Often secrets about sexual abuse are kept which adds to the trauma. This can be passed down through generations. Please reach out to me if you have been traumatized by sexual abuse.

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.
