Course Description

Childhood sexual abuse has major impacts on one's life, not only in childhood, but over the lifespan. Often, people are unaware that the effects of sexual abuse will often resurface in the perinatal period. This presentation will explore the unique dynamics that survivors of sexual abuse may encounter during their reproductive journey and in parenthood. It will also explore different types of modalities that are helpful with sexual abuse survivors.

Instructor

Lacey Castilleja Fisher, LPC-S, RPT-S, PMH-C, RST-C/T

Lacey Castilleja Fisher is a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor, Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor, Certified Mental Health Professional and Registered Sand Therapist-Consultant/Trainer with a mental health private practice in Austin, Texas. Lacey has worked in a variety of settings including in a Children’s Advocacy Center to provide counseling to children that experienced sexual abuse and their families, and she decided to take the experience she had there and apply it to private practice. She built her practice around supporting children and adults that had experienced sexual abuse/assault and found a passion working with parents and parents to be when their sexual trauma was activated in the perinatal period. Lacey became passionate about working with parents that struggle with perinatal mental health struggles, specifically PTSD, after her own experience of becoming a mother and experiencing trauma after her newborn was unexpectedly admitted to the NICU. This led to Lacey learning as much as she could about perinatal trauma, pregnancy and infant loss, NICU trauma and fertility struggles. Lacey finds that the parents she works with respond well to EMDR, IFS and sandtray therapy at her counseling practice. Lacey was a co-founder of the Texas SandTray Association and has served as the Clinical Director for the Pregnancy and Postpartum Health Alliance of Texas and now serves on their advisory board.
