t Laike Rising Therapy, we specialize in trauma-informed care for survivors of sexual harm.
Whether you're in Indianapolis, New York City, or working with us online, we provide a compassionate space to reclaim your story, one where you lead the process and your voice is honored. Healing from sexual trauma isn't linear, and it doesn't follow a script. Some days will feel like progress, and others will feel like standing still, and both are part of the process.
Our team brings clinical expertise in trauma-specific modalities, but just as importantly, we bring patience. There is no timeline you're expected to meet here, only a pace that actually feels safe for you.

How It Can Affect You
These aren't flaws. They're survival responses your nervous system learned to protect you.
Flashbacks & Intrusive Thoughts
Memories that resurface without warning, in images or sensations.
Numbness or Hypervigilance
Feeling shut down, or constantly on alert for danger.

Avoidance, discomfort, or shutdown around closeness or sex.
Shame, Guilt, or Self-Blame
Carrying blame that was never actually yours to carry.
Disconnection From Your Body
Feeling detached from your own body, as a way of coping.

Not about "pushing through." About restoring safety, with care and intention.

Processes trauma without having to relive every detail, and rewrites beliefs like "it was my fault."
