Experiencing sexual assault can leave deep emotional scars that affect every aspect of your life. It’s not just about what happened—it’s about how it’s still impacting you today. You might feel overwhelmed by flashbacks, struggle with anxiety or shame, or find it hard to trust others, even those closest to you. It’s okay to feel lost, angry, or unsure of how to move forward. Your pain is real, but so is the possibility of healing.

 

You Are Not Alone.
At Nest Counseling, we understand that sexual assault isn’t just something you “get over”—it’s something you work through, at your own pace, with the right support. Our approach is compassionate, trauma-informed, and deeply respectful of your boundaries. We believe in creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can process your experiences, reconnect with yourself, and begin to heal.

Specialized Therapy That Meets You Where You Are.
Healing from sexual assault looks different for everyone. That’s why we offer a range of therapies, including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), a powerful method for processing trauma, along with mindfulness, somatic work, and other approaches tailored to your unique needs. We’re here to help you release the pain and reclaim the parts of yourself that trauma tried to silence.

 

What Healing Can Look Like for You.
It’s okay if you’re not sure where to start—that’s what we’re here for. In therapy, you’ll have the opportunity to:

  • Reclaim Your Voice: Understand and process your emotions without judgment.
  • Set Healthy Boundaries: Learn how to protect your energy and create safe, empowering connections with others.
