Even if you block it out for a while, eventually it touches something.
Sexual trauma often shows up quietly: chronic pain, anxiety, broken sleep, relationships that feel off.
We can help you feel strong again.

Benefits of Sexual Trauma Therapy
Texans deserve expert counseling.
What healing fully looks like:
01
Take back control
Your history stops steering today.
02
Sleep soundly
Your body finally believes you're safe.
03
Feel confident
In your decisions, your voice, your boundaries.
04
Feel whole
At home in your own body again.
05
Find calm
Fewer alarms; a steadier baseline.
06
Connect
Closeness that feels chosen, not dangerous.
It was never your fault.
And it can get better.
How Sexual Trauma Therapy Works
Feel, heal, thrive.
Your pace, start to finish.
1
Feel
Grounding and body-calming skills so you're in control before anything else. You'll learn how to signal us to slow down or stop.
2
Heal
EMDR for root-level relief — helping the body release what it has been holding so the past stops steering the present.
3
Thrive
Boundaries, relationships, and a sense of self rebuilt around what you now believe: that you were never broken.
Sexual Trauma Therapy FAQ
The things you might be wondering.
Anything we haven't answered? Call 512-400-4790 — you'll talk to Nia, not a phone tree.
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.
Your first call is with a real person.
Nia, our Client Care Coordinator, will listen to what's going on and match you with the right therapist. No phone tree, no pressure.

I've had an amazing experience using EMDR therapy to address my childhood trauma. It's incredible how something so simple like eye movements can make such a huge difference on how I feel about my most challenging memories!
We're a nonprofit, so cost shouldn't be the reason you wait. Sliding-scale spots with licensed clinicians and supervised residents are part of how we work.
