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
Brad Croyle
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
I work with clients who struggle with Sexual Abuse and related issues, most notably feelings of Shame, Guilt, Worthlessness, Anxiety, Depression and Powerlessness, and many who report that they just feel bad about their selves. During our sessions, we will collaborate to create a plan for addressing these issues that helps you resolve them in a meaningful manner to restore functioning enabling and empowering you to move beyond your past. I practice from a Holistic perspective and commonly employ EMDR and other effective modalities with helping clients achieve balance and purpose in their lives and creative solutions to their problems. This includes exploring past issues and trauma that may be a factor. This often requires specialized therapy and talk therapy alone is often not enough. Our goal is to make lasting and desired changes to promote healthy relationships and positive interactions. You can work to resolve past trauma and redefine who you are today and can move on.

Recognizing the profound and personal impact of sexual abuse, we approach each person's journey with empathy, discretion, and professionalism.

* Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address harmful thought patterns and beliefs resulting from abuse, promoting healthier and more adaptive cognition.
* Somatic Experiencing to help survivors reconnect with their bodies and manage the physical symptoms of trauma.
* Group Therapy where individuals can share their stories and gain support from others with similar experiences in a safe, moderated setting.
* Psychoeducation to assist survivors in understanding the effects of sexual abuse and the process of trauma recovery.

Our Sexual Abuse Recovery Therapy aims to:
* Assist survivors in acknowledging and processing their experiences of abuse.
* Enable individuals to develop effective coping strategies for dealing with the emotional and psychological aftermath.

* Rebuild a sense of safety, trust, and control that may have been disrupted by the abuse.
* Empower survivors to establish and maintain healthy boundaries in relationships.
* Provide support in developing a positive sense of identity and self-worth beyond the experience of abuse.

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.
