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.

Sabina Mauro
Psychologist, PsyD
Experiences of sexual abuse can profoundly affect a person's sense of safety, trust, identity, and connection with others. The effects may continue long after the experience itself, sometimes appearing as anxiety, shame, emotional numbness, difficulty with boundaries, or challenges in relationships. I specialize in helping survivors understand and address the psychological impact of trauma through compassionate, individualized, evidence-based treatment. Using approaches such as Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Prolonged Exposure (PE), and trauma-focused cognitive behavioral interventions, we work at a pace that respects your readiness and needs. Therapy is not about forcing you to revisit painful memories before you are ready. It is about helping you regain a sense of choice, rebuild trust in yourself, and recognize that what happened to you does not define who you are.
