The impacts of childhood or ongoing sexual, physical or emotional abuse can deeply impact one's ongoing level of safety, belonging, freedom, self-respect/esteem, spontaneity, joy and ease. Some of my deepest satisfaction comes from supporting abuse survivors in reclaiming their access to their aliveness and power.

Sophie Toolanen (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

MA, LPC

I am fully trained in EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). EMDR is an effective approach for shifting core negative beliefs about self and freeing you from negative effects of past trauma, including abuse and neglect. I also use IFS, an approach aimed at healing wounded parts of self, that get in the way of self-compassion, and easing rigidity of protective, yet self-defeating, defensive mechanisms.

Heather Lokteff

Licensed Professional Counselor

I have experience working with individuals who have left abusive situations or have experienced childhood abuse. I am Level 1 Internal Family Systems (IFS) trained. I work with individuals who are processing past hurts and reconnecting with a sense of safety and a calmer nervous system. Early in my career I worked with children in foster care and the DHS system as a play therapist. I feel my work with children informs me daily in my work with adults who have experienced abuse as a child.

Trauma can cause a variety of symptoms and experiences that can be a distraction in your quality of life. In a therapy session, we focus on symptoms and remedies. I will not ask you to recall every detail, instead the focus is on understanding the experiences of symptoms in your daily life. For example, what it looks like, feels like, and how it causes you to respond. Together we will discover the techniques and tools that can help you specifically and reduce the intensity of your daily life.

Jenna Washburn (she / her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

MA: Mental Health Counseling - Specialization in Addictions

I specialize in treating clients who have experienced narcissistic abuse over their lifetime. The term narcissistic abuse is used to categorize the way a person experiences emotional abuse and manipulation when in a relationship with someone exhibiting narcissistic behavior. This “relationship” does not necessarily have to pertain to a romantic partner. It could also be with a family member, a friend, a coworker, or any other important relationship that is impacting your life.

Victims often feel they are being degraded and often don’t feel their abusers see their innate worth as a human being. The abuse often centers around control and they will use many harmful techniques to maintain and/or gain control over their victims.
