Liberation Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
I work with survivors of sexual abuse and sexual trauma, and I understand that these experiences can affect trust, relationships, sexuality, self-esteem, and the nervous system. Therapy focuses on restoring a sense of safety in your body, processing trauma at a pace that feels manageable, and helping you rebuild a sense of choice, agency, and ownership over your body and your life.

Stephanie Miodus
Psychologist, PhD, NCSP
I specialize in providing therapy and psychological assessments for children, adolescents, and adults impacted by trauma, with a particular focus on survivors of childhood sexual abuse. I am trained in trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) and as part of a federally funded clinical treatment study, have delivered CBT for PTSD to trauma-impacted college students. I have a strong commitment to addressing the unique needs of those who have experienced trauma, including autistic individuals, and have presented on adapting trauma therapy for this population at the Philadelphia Trauma Training Conference. Additionally, I have presented at The American Professional Society on the Abuse of Children Colloquiums. My experience includes peer-reviewed research examining trauma, PTSD, and their connections to ADHD, further reinforcing my expertise in understanding and addressing the complex effects of abuse and trauma.

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.

Amherst is a suburban town of Buffalo and home to the North Campus of the University at Buffalo, one of the largest universities in the State University of New York system, bringing a substantial student population and the mental health demands that come with a large public research university. The town's generally affluent suburban character contrasts with the significant challenges faced by neighboring Buffalo, and many residents access mental health services in the broader Buffalo metro area alongside local providers. UB's counseling services are a primary resource for students, and a private therapy sector serves Amherst's established families and professional residents. Common therapy concerns include student mental health, academic and identity development stress at a large research university, anxiety, family and relationship issues, and the transitional challenges of navigating life in a prosperous suburb adjacent to a struggling urban center.
