Sexual abuse reveals a devastating breach of trust that can profoundly impact an individual's sense of self and relationships. Sexual abuse can cause profound emotional wounds that last a lifetime since it is based on the intricate dynamics of power and vulnerability. It can also destroy the foundation of stable attachment ties. Therapy becomes a sanctuary for healing, offering a safe space to navigate the complexities of trauma, process the echoes of past violations, and reclaim agency over one's body and identity. By fostering compassionate connections and addressing the root causes of distress, survivors can embark on a journey of empowerment, resilience, and reclaiming a sense of safety and wholeness in their lives.
Healing from sexual abuse requires sensitive and compassionate support. Our therapists specialize in helping survivors process trauma, rebuild trust, and regain a sense of safety and empowerment in their lives.
Have you experienced sexual abuse or assault across your life? Whether it be one incident or many, sexual violations shock our nervous system creating a rupture in our sense of safety with others and in our own bodies. We can provide you with a safe space to discuss your experiences of sexual abuse and assault. We also have clinicians who specialize in resolving trauma to allow safety to be found again. Please contact us to begin this work and schedule your first appointment.
The effects of trauma and sexual abuse can leave us feeling vulnerable and unsafe long after the event itself. So often people can be left feeling hopeless, disconnected, and ashamed. Healing these wounds are essential to developing a strong sense of self, positive self view, and safety within relationships. I work from a trauma-informed perspective and pull from approaches that will allow us to build an understanding of the protective strategies formed to survive the emotional and mental impact of the abuse, and cultivate self-acceptance and trust with others.
Utilizing trauma-informed care, I assist survivors of sexual abuse in acknowledging and working through their trauma, aiming to restore emotional balance and promote personal growth. This process involves a gentle exploration of trauma impacts, guided by empathy and a commitment to healing.
At Collaborative Care Therapy, we provide compassionate and specialized support for individuals who have experienced sexual abuse. Recognizing the profound impact that such experiences can have on one's mental and emotional health, we are committed to offering a safe, respectful, and confidential environment where healing can begin.
Our therapists are trained in trauma-informed care, ensuring that every aspect of treatment acknowledges and addresses the complexities of trauma recovery. We use evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), tailored to help alleviate the distressing symptoms often associated with sexual abuse, such as PTSD, anxiety, depression, and issues with trust and intimacy.
Understanding that the path to recovery is personal and unique, we work closely with each client to develop a therapeutic plan that respects their individual experiences and paces the healing process according to their comfort level. Our goal is not only to help survivors cope with the immediate effects of trauma but also to empower them to reclaim a sense of control and self-worth.
At Collaborative Care Therapy, we are here to support you through every step of your journey toward recovery, offering the understanding, tools, and care needed to move forward.
