Sexual Trauma Therapy
Our Practice Owner Is A Certified Clinical Sexologist
Within the southwestern therapeutic community, our practice owner Kelly Chisholm has been given the unofficial title of “EMDR Sexpert.” As a certified clinical sexologist, Kelly is greatly aware of the impact of sexual trauma and has worked with a wide range of survivors in therapy. Guiding clients and clinicians alike on how to incorporate EMDR into sexual trauma treatment, Kelly has seen firsthand the transformative effect that this modality has in drastically improving people’s lives and relationships.
Though shame may be driving you to avoid or numb past sexual trauma, you deserve to feel more functional. In treatment for sexual trauma and abuse, you can overcome the shame once and for all to lead a happier, healthier existence.
Considering Sexual Trauma Treatment, But Unsure If EMDR Therapy Solutions Is Right For You?
I’m afraid to discuss my sexual trauma or abuse in therapy.
We understand that your sexual trauma is a deeply personal subject, and as trauma-informed therapists, we are specially trained not to retraumatize our clients. Fortunately, because EMDR is a relatively nonverbal approach, you won’t have to discuss your sexual trauma at length in therapy. Instead, you will focus on a target image or belief, using side-to-side eye movements to neutralize the memory. Unlike conventional talk therapy, this process doesn’t require extensive discussion of the experience.
I don’t have the time for counseling.
An improved quality of life is worth your time and resources. If you’re concerned about how much time you’ll spend in treatment for sexual trauma, consider all of the time your trauma has taken away in the form of relationship struggles, decreased productivity, and setbacks in your mental health.
Keep in mind that we offer EMDR Intensives for clients who are interested in a more concentrated form of treatment; these sessions typically last over the span of a few days and are generally successful in resolving sexual trauma for good.
I don’t want to spend money on therapy for sexual trauma.
Your healing is worth more than anything else, and you will likely struggle with sexual intimacy and in your relationships until your experience is processed through counseling. By investing your time and money in therapy, you can make meaningful strides in your life, living according to your agenda—and not your trauma’s.

Is EMDR Intensive Therapy the Right Choice for You?
-
EMDR therapy addresses both the physical and psychological symptoms that arise due to adverse life experiences. Aside from helping with trauma, EMDR is also a treatment method that benefits those dealing with depression, anxiety, grief, loss, infidelity, and betrayal.
-
EMDR intensives can shorten the length of the overall treatment process and allow you to work through the symptoms you’re experiencing faster and more effectively than normal weekly sessions. Not only do you avoid the interruption between individual 45-minute sessions, but you also bypass the time spent on checking in at the start of each weekly session or addressing any current concerns. Moreover, a single EMDR session typically focuses on coping skills and stabilization at the end of each session to help you regain composure, which is not necessary with an intensive.
-
Yes. We offer EMDR intensives in adjusted formats and modified pricing for current clients.
-
Of course! You may be aware that something still needs to change profoundly to help you shift fully into a new experience of yourself, but perhaps you’re not exactly sure how you can accomplish this with your present therapist. We will help you identify which format of treatment works best for your needs during our initial consultation.
-
Offering a number of resources, a half-day EMDR intensive can help you substantially reduce the destructive effects of a single traumatic event, such as disturbing emotions, negative cognitions, and unsettling body sensations. Please keep in mind, though, that while you can experience significant healing during one half-day EMDR intensive, Complex PTSD typically requires more time to heal than a half-day intensive can provide. Many people with Complex PTSD may need continuous monthly, bi-monthly, or quarterly half-day intensives to work through their trauma history.
-
A 3-day EMDR intensive can more efficiently help you achieve impactful changes than just participating in regular weekly, 45-minute sessions or a single half-day intensive. During our initial consultation, we can identify which format would be best for your needs.
-
Depending on your insurance, you may receive help paying for the cost of psychotherapy, as some insurance companies reimburse a substantial portion of mental health treatments. We can provide you with a Superbill, detailing all direct contact therapy services that are included in the EMDR intensive program. You can then submit this bill to your insurance provider for potential reimbursement.
