Dr. Ingrid Solano
Psychologist, PhD
Making sense of trauma, and the impact of trauma, can be accompanied by the fear that you will never be able to overcome the distress you feel when you remember the experience or when those intrusive nightmares, flashbacks, and negative thoughts come crashing into your awareness. Through trauma-focused therapy we reclaim confidence, hopefulness, intimacy, safety, self-esteem, and trust. I have specific expertise in treating trauma symptoms related to sexual assault, intimate partner violence and emotional abuse, military sexual trauma (MST), childhood and complex sexual trauma, violence, and combat trauma experienced by Veterans. These experiences can impact physical health, and daily life.
Many people will experience a form of trauma in their lives. Trauma can come with feelings of shame, anger, and confusion. Posttraumatic stress is a normal human reaction to traumatic events. However, for some individuals this stress persists and interferes with their ability to live the life that they want. I work with complex cases that sometimes include dissociation, numbness, anger, risky behaviors, and years of avoidance. The treatments I provide are the most powerful and effective treatments available for these conditions. I have expertise in individual, as well as relationship (i.e., with a partner) based trauma-focused therapies. I have experienced many times how these treatments help people gain new perspectives about what happened to them, develop a sense of empowerment over their trauma, and improve their lives. These treatments can also be helpful if you feel stuck following experiences of trauma, even if you don’t have PTSD. If you’re unsure whether you want to discuss your trauma, or unsure which approach feels like a good fit for you, we can discuss your concerns. We will explore trauma-focused care that builds upon your current support, coping skills, and personal experience. I primarily employ time-limited, evidence-based Cognitive-Behavioral Therapies (CBT) such as CPT, PE, and CBCT. (See Individual and Couples Therapy based Trauma-Focused Services.)
In psychological literature, stressors are defined as events and conditions (e.g., losing a job, death of an intimate partner) that cause change and require that the individual adapt to the new situation or life circumstance. Stress processes can include the experience of prejudice events, expectations of rejection, hiding and concealing your authentic self, internalized homophobia, intimate partner violence, discrimination, and ameliorative coping processes that have become bad, ineffective habits. These experiences can be particularly painful when there is social pressure to conceal your experiences, or stigma. I address what it’s like to have no one to talk to about these experiences, and any distress that comes from having nowhere to do this work safely. I practice LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy that considers the impact of minority stress and chronic stress responses. Aside from these stress processes, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and heterosexuals who report any same-sex sexual partners over their lifetime, have greater risk of childhood maltreatment, interpersonal violence, trauma to a close friend or relative, and unexpected death of someone close.

Jonathan Schnapp
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Experiences of sexual abuse can have deep and lasting impacts—on how you feel in your body, how you relate to others, and how you understand yourself. Therapy offers a space where you can move at your own pace, with a strong emphasis on safety, choice, and respect. Together, we’ll gently work to process what you’ve been through, make sense of its effects, and reconnect with parts of yourself that may have felt pushed aside. The goal is not to rush or force anything, but to support a sense of stability, empowerment, and the possibility of healing over time.

Dr. Amanda Malak
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist
I specialize in supporting individuals who have experienced sexual abuse by providing a safe, compassionate space to process the trauma and its effects. My approach involves using therapeutic modalities to help people heal, rebuild their sense of safety, and regain control over their lives. I help clients address feelings of shame, guilt, and fear while working through the emotional and psychological impact of abuse. My goal is to empower survivors to rebuild their self-esteem, manage symptoms of trauma, and move forward in a way that supports their overall healing and well-being. Referral to community organizations, like the Survivor's Sanctuary (https://sanctuary.metoomvmt.org/), are also helpful tools for people to use alone or alongside therapy.

Rose Snyder, EdM, PsyD, LLC
Psychologist, PsyD
Sexual abuse treatment is extremely vulnerable work and I deeply respect survivors for their courage to address this in therapy. I find that developing a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship is the first essential step in this work. Once that is established, we might use various nervous system regulation techniques (including polyvagal and other mindfulness-based approaches) to make sure you feel sturdy enough to dive into this work. Most often EMDR or Flash Technique (an offshoot of EMDR) are the modalities of choice in processing the abuse. I follow my client's pace and readiness every step along the way.

Jennifer Cain
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Sexual abuse is a severe breach of trust and safety that can leave a person with long term trauma symptoms and effects. If you have experienced sexual abuse, you are probably experiencing a number of problems that feel like they will never be resolved. But there is hope, and recovery is possible. I will work with you to process through this trauma and regain yourself and your sense of safety. I use a variety of strategies, including art, EMDR, and somatic strategies, that do not require you to describe the specifics of what happened, if you don't want to.

Cicek Erdem
Psychologist, PhD
Experiences of sexual abuse can leave lasting effects on how we relate to ourselves, our bodies, and others. You may struggle with trust, shame, boundaries, sexuality, anxiety, dissociation, or feeling disconnected from yourself. My approach is relational and trauma-informed, prioritizing safety, pacing, and helping clients rebuild a sense of agency and self-trust. For some clients, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) can be a supportive adjunct to trauma work, helping create movement in places that may feel difficult to access through words alone.

I help persons who engaged in illegal sexual behaviors learn how to never do so again.

I have a great track record in assisting attorneys in doing their job of helping their client get the best possible disposition of the case.

Gregg Unterberger
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.Ed., LPC
Easier said than realized, but sexual abuse doesn't define you. It was a tragedy that happened TO you. It was a horrific violation of boundaries. But with therapy, your worth, your connection to a "good-enough" you can be restored & the shame can be left in the past.
