Sexual Trauma & Sexual Assault Counseling in Austin

No. We start with safety and skills. EMDR doesn't require graphic detail to work — we follow your pace, and you decide what to share and when.

Symptoms often surface years later — during a big change, a new relationship, or when your child reaches the age you were. It still responds to treatment.

You don't need a label to deserve help. If an experience left you anxious, ashamed, or on guard, that's enough to start.

Yes. Sexual trauma affects relationships, and we work with couples and partners when that's helpful — always on your terms.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is an eight-phase, research-backed therapy that helps your brain file painful experiences so they stop popping up uninvited. Simple traumas can resolve in a few sessions; complex histories take longer. It's powerful, and it isn't magic — your therapist tailors it to you.

No. You're in full control the whole time — we'll even teach you how to signal us to stop.

You won't white-knuckle through your worst memories. Before any memory work you learn to shift into calm fast and build “resources” to turn the intensity down. That preparation phase can be long if your history is complex — and it's the part most therapists skip.

We're self-pay and provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement. Our nonprofit sliding scale is on the Rates page.
