At Wholesome Psychology, we understand how deeply sexual abuse can affect your life. Survivors often carry invisible burdens—emotional pain, anxiety, shame, fear, and disconnection. Whether the trauma is recent or from the past, healing is possible with the right support. Our dedicated team of psychologists in Edmonton and St. Albert offers specialized sexual abuse therapy designed to help you feel safe, supported, and empowered on your healing journey.

How Sexual Abuse Affects Survivors

Sexual abuse leaves more than physical wounds—it impacts how survivors view themselves, their relationships, and the world. The aftermath may include:

• Persistent feelings of shame, guilt, or self-blame
• Difficulty trusting others or forming intimate relationships
• Emotional numbness or disconnection
• Flashbacks, nightmares, or sleep issues
• Depression, anxiety, or panic attacks
• Low self-esteem and negative self-perception

If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, you're not alone—and you don't have to navigate them alone. At Wholesome Psychology, we’re here to support you with trauma-informed care tailored to your experience.

Recognizing the Signs

Sometimes survivors don’t realize they’ve been affected by trauma until long after the abuse. Or they may feel hesitant to speak up due to fear, shame, or disbelief. If you or a loved one is showing signs such as:

• Sudden changes in behavior or mood
• New or unexplained fears of people or places
• Withdrawing from relationships or avoiding social settings
• Unexplained physical symptoms like headaches or stomach pain

It may be time to reach out. Our team provides a safe, confidential space where you can share your story without judgment. Learn more about our counselling services and how we can help.

Our Approach to Sexual Abuse Therapy

Every survivor’s experience is unique. At Wholesome Psychology, we offer personalized sexual abuse therapy that respects your pace, preferences, and boundaries. We use evidence-based methods and create a compassionate environment that fosters trust, safety, and emotional resilience.

Tailored Treatment Plans

After a low-cost initial consultation, we’ll work with you to design a treatment plan that reflects your individual needs. This may include:

• EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) for trauma processing
• Somatic therapy to address trauma stored in the body
• CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) to reshape unhelpful thinking patterns
• DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy) for emotion regulation and distress tolerance

Safe and Non-Judgmental Space

Your emotional and physical safety is our top priority. Our therapists are trained to support survivors with sensitivity, professionalism, and deep respect. You are always in control of your healing process.

Why Therapy Helps

Therapy can provide survivors with tools to cope, understand their emotions, and process painful experiences. Our work together may help you:

• Develop emotional resilience and self-compassion
• Build healthy boundaries and regain trust
• Feel empowered to take control of your healing process
• Reconnect with a sense of safety and purpose

At Wholesome Psychology, our role is not to "fix" you—because you are not broken. Our role is to help you discover your strength, reclaim your voice, and rebuild your life on your terms.

We know that beginning sexual abuse therapy can be daunting. That’s why we offer a reduced-rate first session—so you can explore whether our approach feels like a good fit. If you decide not to continue with us, we’ll still help you connect with other trusted resources in Edmonton or St. Albert. Your healing matters more than anything else.

You Are Not Alone

Sexual abuse can make you feel isolated—but we want you to know: you are not alone. So many survivors have found strength, healing, and joy on the other side of trauma. You deserve that future, too.
