Sexual Abuse
Lexi Eller
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-S
Sexual abuse is a beast, it can consume you in various facets of life and overtake who you once were, impact how you see the world, trust people and view yourself. Control is typically lost and you are feeling alone. I would love to meet you where you are at and help you find relief in some of your trauma processing to be comfortable in your own skin.

Sexual Abuse
Michael J. Salas
Counselor/Therapist, PsyD, LPC-S, LCDC, CSAT, CST
Sex is one of the most intimate parts of a relationship, but when something isn’t working, it can lead to distance, frustration, and shame. As a Certified Sex Therapist with specialized training in helping individuals and couples improve their sexual connection, I offer a space where you can talk openly and work through what’s getting in the way.
Whether you’re dealing with erectile dysfunction, premature or delayed ejaculation, vaginismus, low desire, or pain during sex, these issues can take a toll on both you and your relationship. You’re not alone—and there are ways to work through it. Together, we’ll explore what’s going on emotionally, physically, and relationally, and develop tools to help you feel more connected, confident, and present.
I'm also a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT), and I work with people navigating sexual compulsivity, porn addiction, and out-of-control sexual behaviors. If your relationship with sex feels overwhelming or secretive, therapy can help you gain clarity, control, and a healthier sense of intimacy.
Experiencing sexual abuse can leave deep emotional, physical, and relational scars. You may carry shame, fear, numbness, or confusion long after the event itself. It’s common to feel disconnected from your body, your boundaries, or your sexuality—and to question whether healing is even possible.
I have extensive experience working with survivors of sexual trauma, and I approach this work with care, respect, and patience. I’m trained in EMDR and Somatic Experiencing, both of which help process trauma in ways that go beyond talk therapy and support healing at a nervous system level. As a Certified Sex Therapist, I also help clients reclaim their sense of sexual identity and connection, whether that means re-engaging with intimacy or learning how to feel safe in their own body again.
This is delicate, layered work—and you don’t have to rush it or do it alone. If you're carrying the impact of sexual abuse and are ready to begin healing, I’m here to help you move forward with support, clarity, and compassion.

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.

Sexual Abuse
Christina Song
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT-S
I work with survivors of sexual abuse from a trauma-informed, non-blaming, and empowerment-focused perspective. Sexual abuse can have profound impacts on self-trust, boundaries, intimacy, and the nervous system, and each survivor’s experience is unique. In therapy, we move at your pace, centering safety, consent, and your autonomy in deciding what feels manageable to address.
Our work may include processing trauma, exploring its impact on relationships and self-concept, rebuilding a sense of safety in your body and mind, and strengthening boundaries. Therapy is a space to reclaim your voice, rebuild trust in yourself and others, and develop resilience and coping strategies that support healing on your terms.
