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.

James C. Carpenter, PhD, ABPP
Psychologist, PhD (Clinical Psychology, Ohio State U), Board Certified in Clinical Psychology (ABPP), PSYPACT
I gradually and not too happily became an expert in treating sexual abuse -- especially early abuse in childhood -- through working intensely with so many people who have presented with those issues. I understand the suggestibility of memory, and I never suggest or over-lead clients to these possible traumas. But they often enough present themselves indisputably into therapy work as it becomes deeper and safer. I have had and given a lot of training in this area and have a big toolbox of approaches at my disposal in working on this very delicate and important material.

Dr. Anna Smith
Psychologist, PsyD, MEd, MA
The impact of sexual abuse or assault can live in the body and in relationships long after the events themselves—showing up as shutdown, hypervigilance, difficulty with touch, trust issues, or disconnection from your own desire. In a trauma-informed, gentle, and empowering space, we work at your pace to process what happened, release shame that doesn’t belong to you, and help you reclaim safety, pleasure, and agency in your body and intimate connections. Healing is possible, and you deserve to feel at home in your sexuality again.

Pamela Brewer
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, Ph.D, LCSW-C,DCSW
Sexual is abuse is never deserved. It is never your "fault". Healing does not have to equal forgive and forget - but you can learn to understand, set limits and know that your pain, your experience was/is real. You can learn to think about your experiences through a different lens. Your life can be better.
