Sexual Abuse
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.

The trauma of sexual abuse can leave scars and affect how one shows up in the world. Dealing with secondary issues, such as lack of trust, fear, and other problems can help.

Sexual Abuse
Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with adults who are survivors of childhood sexual abuse. Many of the people I see have built full, functioning lives and are often seen as capable, responsible, and reliable by others. Inside, they may carry a private mix of shame, confusion, anger, or grief about what happened, and a sense that they have never really had space to tend to it.
Early abuse can leave traces in many areas of adult life. You might notice difficulty feeling at home in your body; anxiety, numbness, or shutdown in moments of closeness or vulnerability; a persistent sense that you are “too much” or “not enough”; or a tendency to doubt your own perceptions. There may be complicated feelings toward family members who knew, did not know, or minimized what happened, as well as patterns of over‑accommodating, people‑pleasing, or staying in relationships that feel familiar but not truly safe. Sometimes the impact shows up as depression, anxiety, perfectionism, or a feeling of being fundamentally different from others, without always linking it back to your early experiences.
I have worked with survivors of childhood sexual abuse for many years, and this is one of my primary areas of specialization. I know how varied and complex the impact can be. My approach is careful, attuned, and paced to your nervous system. We do not rush into details or push for disclosure. Instead, we focus on helping you feel safer inside your own body and mind, making sense of what happened at a pace that feels manageable, and loosening the grip of shame and self‑blame. Over time, we explore what it means to have real choice, boundaries, and agency in your adult life, including in relationships, work, and family.
My role is to offer a grounded, non‑intrusive space where you do not have to minimize your experience or protect anyone else’s feelings.
26 Years Experience
Online in Chattanooga, TN Tennessee
Chattanooga has undergone a remarkable urban transformation over the past two decades — from a polluted post-industrial city to a nationally recognized model of revitalization anchored by the Tennessee Aquarium, a thriving outdoor economy, and a world-class broadband infrastructure — and its therapy community reflects a city coming into its own, with growing demand from young professionals, creatives, and outdoor enthusiasts relocating from other metros. The city has significant African American communities in North Chattanooga and other historically Black neighborhoods, and therapists offering culturally affirming care and racial identity work are an important part of the local landscape. CHI Memorial Hospital and Erlanger Health System provide institutional mental health resources alongside a growing private practice community. Chattanooga's outdoor recreation culture — anchored by Lookout Mountain, the Tennessee River Gorge, and proximity to Appalachian trails — shapes a therapy community with distinct interest in the intersection of nature, physical health, and mental wellbeing.
