TRAUMA THERAPY
Firefly Therapy offers survivors the opportunity to work with a therapist in an individual or group format. Both modalities of therapy can be beneficial at different times in the healing process, or optimally, in conjunction with each other. If you are unsure of which treatment approach to pursue at this time, we can make a recommendation for you after learning a bit about your current situation.
​
Individual Trauma Therapy ​
Work one-on-one with a Firefly therapist who is specially trained in sexual violence, both in long-term sexual abuse, and isolated incidents of sexual assault. Our therapists understand the unique dynamics of these types of abuse and have extensive knowledge of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Clients will receive individualized treatment for the specific ways their trauma has impacted their life. Quite often, it surfaces in the form(s) of flashbacks, difficulty in relationships, and challenges with intimacy and self-confidence, among others. Firefly therapists create a safe, comfortable environment to explore and heal even the deepest of wounds, without judgment.
It’s not uncommon for the effects of sexual abuse or assault to persist years after it occurred. There is never a wrong time to seek therapy. Many of our clients seek therapy years after their trauma, and many come after unsuccessful treatment elsewhere.
Firefly therapists work with adults and teens, ages 14 and older.
Group Trauma Therapy
Experience the power of a circle of women who are growing and healing each week. Firefly groups are restorative, empowering, and powerful. Using evidence-based interventions, therapists will help clients process their experience with other survivors who can understand and relate in a deeply validating way.
​
The often-widespread effect of sexual trauma will be explored, with an emphasis on how it may impact clients’ abilities to form and sustain healthy relationships, to trust, and above all, to feel safe. Clients will learn about how the brain and body respond to trauma, both in the moment, and long after it has occurred. Unique, individual concerns are always a focus of group, and clients can feel comfortable to share as much (or as little) of their stories as they choose. As we process these heavy topics, we promise to always find room for laughter and lightheartedness as we help clients rebuild and move forward.
​
We currently offer 2 groups:
​
Both groups are open to women, age 18 and over, who experienced sexual abuse by any perpetrator, family or non-family, male or female. There is no criteria with regard to the duration or extent of the abuse.
Adult survivors of child sexual abuse
​
For women who experienced sexual abuse as a child (under 18 years old)
Adult survivors of adult sexual assault
​​
For women who experienced sexual assault as an adult (18 years old or over)
These groups meet weekly, virtually, for 90 minutes per session. All female survivors are welcome.

"Firefly helped me connect with people who inherently understand the trauma and betrayal I went through without having to explain myself or give "evidence" to prove that what happened to me turned my world upside down. Being in community, hearing the stories of other women who have survived astonishing circumstances, having the chance to tell my story, and working with a therapist who helps me process my experiences without judgment and shame has been life-changing."
