Shelly Melroe
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Experiences of sexual abuse and other sexuality traumata are a visceral violation of you as a person. They can leave you not only feeling ashamed and guilty but also physically stuck in a state of feeling trapped. Used polyvagal-based neural interventions, Shelly will work with you to restore a felt sense of safety. She can guide you through healing from additional wounding caused by people saying you should have done something to get away. Shelly will help you understand that, biologically, your body has an automatic instinct to collapse and cooperate in a last resort attempt of survival. Unfortunately, it can lead your system to stay stuck in a state of disconnection, going through motions. Mind-body therapies can help you restore your sense of self and a felt sense of safety so you can fully engage in life.

Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Sexual abuse often creates very painful symptoms and is something for which I use a therapy called Prolonged Exposure (PE). In this therapy, we will revisit traumatic situations, process painful emotions, and change unhelpful beliefs about yourself and the world around you as a result of your trauma. People are often amazed at how quickly this treatment can work and by the very meaningful change that can result. For these reasons, this is one of my favorite treatments to provide.
