You are not alone—and you don't have to heal alone.

If you've experienced sexual assault or sexual trauma, you know that the aftermath can feel overwhelming, isolating, and confusing. Maybe you're struggling with flashbacks, anxiety, or feeling disconnected from your body. Perhaps you're having trouble trusting others or feeling safe in relationships. You might be questioning your worth, replaying what happened, or feeling like you'll never be the same again.

At A Road Through, we provide compassionate, trauma-informed therapy for sexual trauma survivors in Los Angeles and throughout California. We understand that healing from sexual violence is deeply personal and complex. This is a space where your experience is believed, your feelings are validated, and your healing happens entirely at your own pace.

Why Sexual Trauma Requires Specialized Care

Sexual trauma affects every aspect of your life—your sense of safety, your relationships, your connection to your body, and your trust in the world. What we often hear from survivors is:

• "I don't feel safe in my own body anymore."

• "I keep reliving what happened, even when I don't want to."

• "I feel like I'm broken or damaged beyond repair."

• "I can't trust my own judgment about people anymore."

• "I feel guilty, like maybe I could have prevented it somehow."

• "I don't know how to be intimate with anyone again."

These feelings are normal responses to an abnormal experience. Sexual trauma isn't just something that happened to you—it's something that impacts how you move through the world. That's why specialized, trauma-informed care is so important for healing.

Understanding Trauma's Impact on Your Whole Life

Sexual trauma doesn't just affect the moment it happened—it can impact your relationships, your work, your physical health, and your sense of self. We understand that healing isn't just about processing the traumatic event; it's about reclaiming your life in all its dimensions.

We'll work together to help you rebuild trust in yourself and others, develop healthy coping strategies, and reconnect with the parts of yourself that feel lost or damaged. Most importantly, we'll help you remember that you are so much more than what happened to you.
