Helping women heal from traumatic experiences and advance their personal growth has been the focus on my career as a therapist. So often, sexual abuse and/or assault is interwoven into the female experience, yet still not always believed or understood by others. Having a history of gender-based violence can have a tremendous effect on our lives, consciously and unconsciously, impacting current relationships, our sense-of-self, and the way we connect with others. While the past will always play a role in shaping our future, it doesn't get to define it. Together, we can make the future stronger than the past.

I've been practicing for 16 years and bring you clinical expertise in trauma work, with a specialization in domestic and sexual violence, though these are not the only issues that I work with. I operate from a feminist perspective and utilize trauma-informed approaches to foster resiliency and empower women and girls to achieve all that they are capable of.

I offer individual therapy and run groups for both adult survivors of child sexual abuse and adult sexual assault. Group descriptions are below. Sessions with me are relaxed, productive, and quite often include some laughter mixed in! Call with any questions or to schedule a free phone consultation. Welcome to the start of your next chapter.

Groups

Female Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse

Hosted by

Olivia Tursi

The vibe of group is calm and relaxed. No one is required to share anything that they don't want to. Common themes addressed include, but are not limited to: flashbacks, feeling safe, sexuality, self-blame, others' reactions, coping skills, the criminal justice system, etc. I've been running groups centered on this topic for 15 years and have found it to be a very moving and powerful experience for clients. There is a special kind of connection and healing that comes from peer interactions in conjunction with therapist/client interaction. Schedule: Monday OR Wednesday evenings, 7:00-8:30.
