Sexual Abuse

Sawyer Salameh (They/Them)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC

I have extensive experience working with adults who have experienced both childhood sexual abuse and recent trauma. My background includes specialized trauma education and training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy. This training equips me with effective tools to help clients process and heal from their traumatic experiences, supporting them in finding relief and reclaiming their lives.

I offer a safe, supportive space for survivors of sexual abuse and assault to process their experiences, release the burdens of trauma, and reconnect with a sense of safety, trust, and belonging in themselves and in relationships.

I’m passionate about supporting survivors of sexual abuse (and their partners in a couples therapy context). My goal is to help you heal, find a sense of relief from the way trauma impacts you, build up compassion and confidence in yourself, find pleasurable ways to connect with your body & sexuality, and integrate your trauma into a fulfilling and empowered life.

Robin Friedman, LCSW (she/her)

I have worked directly with sexual able/assault survivors of all genders for many years including over 4 years as a therapist at a Rape Recovery Center. I work with adults who are survivors of any kind of sexual and physical abuse trauma from ongoing childhood abuse to single incident rape or other sexual violence.

Christine Bethel (she/her)

Licensed Marriage Family Therapist

LMFT

My work has shown me that an astounding number of us have experienced sexual abuse. Perhaps your experience was recent or maybe it is from the distant past, maybe you have buried it deep or have addressed it before but now find it cropping up in your life and causing problems. You don't have to live with the pain you are experiencing, many tools, including EMDR, can bring you significant healing.

I work with adults who were sexually abused as children. I also work with adults who have experienced sexual abuse from intimate partners.

Jane Ward, PhD (she/her)

I am a certified Sex Offender Treatment Provider, which authorizes me to work with perpetrators of sexual abuse in the state of Oregon. I am able to work with people who are court-mandated or self-referred. I also provide therapy to victims of sexual abuse and sexual trauma.

Lindsay Howson (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC

Sexual abuse affects us in ways that we may not realize. This often includes anxiety, depression, difficulty trusting others, and difficulty forming and maintaining healthy relationships. I am here to help my clients learn how to reestablish their lives and begin to recover.

Jenn Garlock (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

MA, LPC, NCC

I use Internal Family Systems therapy, Attachment therapy, EMDR, and Psychodynamic therapy to help my clients identify what happened to them, explore how this has impacted their lives, their relationships, and their self esteem, and make steps to create the lives and relationships that they want for themselves.

Sarah Hardin

Licensed Marriage Family Therapist

Being a survivor is immensely complicated. I have extensive experience working with sexual abuse survivors and their families, and will witness and support your healing work with care and compassion. I use a family systems perspective to work in a relationship-based manner to address the complexities of abuse in individuals and families.

Kimberly Dudley (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

Ph.D. Candidate, LMHC, LPC, NCC

Sexual abuse is unwanted sexual behavior between a person who holds more power than another person and forces them into sexual acts using threats of violence, using force and/or taking advantage of a vulnerability. Power can be described as authority, age, status, intelligence, etc.

Sarah Wilson-Montemayor (she/her)

Professional Counselor Associate

MA, PhD

I work collaboratively with clients navigating sexual trauma, modeling healthy boundaries and consent as we move at the pace of safety. Together, we tend to the traumatic experiences, create a cultural understanding of the roots of sexual trauma that serves to remove personal shame, cultivate safety, and gently reclaim the capacity to experience authentic joy in the body—if and when that feels right.

Emily Wagner (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

I worked in sexual assault and domestic violence advocacy for several years, then became a therapist to work with my clients on a deeper level. I have had many trainings in sexual trauma, including a specialized internship. Today I use a feminist and trauma-informed approach to help my clients restore a sense of safety and power.
