Healing from sexual trauma requires the right kind of support, delivered in an environment where you feel safe enough to do the work. Monima Wellness Center offers outpatient treatment for women and female-identifying adults who are survivors of sexual assault or who are navigating the lasting effects of sexual trauma.
Whether you’re just beginning to understand what happened to you or you’ve been carrying it for years, our Partial Hospitalization (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient (IOP) programs provide structured, trauma-focused care designed to meet you where you are. Reaching out is not a small thing, and you don’t have to have it all figured out to take that step.
The effects of sexual trauma don’t always feel connected to what happened. They can show up in your body, your relationships, and your daily life, sometimes years later.
Some of what you might be noticing:
These are not character flaws. They are the ways a nervous system responds to overwhelming experiences.
Whatever brought you here today, your feelings make sense. Support is available.
Monima offers two outpatient levels of care. Both follow the same trauma-focused clinical model. The difference is in structure and intensity.
Our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is the highest level of care available at Monima. PHP is best suited for clients with severe mental health, trauma, or substance use challenges that have begun to interfere with daily life and continue to persist despite therapy or medication. Most clients take a leave of absence from work, school, or their daily routines to fully commit themselves to the program. While in PHP, clients will be engaged in treatment five days per week from morning through afternoon.
Monima’s Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) was built for women seeking part-time treatment for moderate to severe mental health, trauma, or substance use issues. IOP is designed specifically for women stepping down from a higher level of care, balancing treatment with work or school, or needing intensive support while maintaining their daily responsibilities. IOP clients attend treatment three to five days per week in the mornings, providing both structure and some flexibility with daily responsibilities.
Monima offers some of the most comprehensive trauma therapy available in outpatient treatment. The clinical model was built for survivors, which means care goes well beyond traditional talk therapy.
Therapies integrated into PHP and IOP include:
Somatic groups at Monima address how sexual trauma is stored and expressed in the body, drawing on practices like vagus nerve activation, lymphatic drainage, functional neurology, and hypnosis. This kind of care is rarely available in outpatient treatment.
Groups are kept small, with no more than ten clients, so you’re never lost in the room.
Every client at Monima receives neuropsychological testing before treatment begins. This informs accurate diagnosis and helps your clinical team build a care plan around your actual needs, not a standard protocol.
For survivors of sexual trauma, this matters. Co-occurring conditions like PTSD, anxiety, depression, and dissociative disorders are common and often misdiagnosed. Getting the diagnosis right from the start means treatment can target what’s actually happening.

Sexual trauma treatment is specialized care for survivors of sexual assault or abuse. It addresses the psychological, emotional, and physical effects of what you’ve been through. At Monima, this includes a wide range of evidence-based trauma therapies, including EMDR, CPT, IFS, Somatic Experiencing, and more, integrated into PHP and IOP alongside somatic and holistic services
Monima works with most insurance plans, which may cover PHP or IOP for trauma-related conditions. Coverage varies by plan. Our admissions team can help verify your benefits and walk you through any potential out-of-pocket costs before you begin. We are currently unable to accept Medicaid or Medi-Cal.
Both programs follow the same trauma-focused clinical model. PHP runs Monday through Friday, 9:30 AM to 3:30 PM. IOP runs Monday through Friday, 9:30 AM to 12:30 PM. A clinical assessment helps determine which level of care is the right fit for you.
No. Groups at Monima focus on skills, nervous system regulation, and shared support. Deeper personal trauma work happens in individual therapy, at a pace you and your clinician decide together.
There is no set timeline. Length of treatment depends on your needs, history, and how you respond to care. Your team will work with you every step of the way.
