Kristee Barker
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-S
I am a trauma specialist. Sexual abuse leaves deep and complicated wounds — not just in the body, but in identity, trust, boundaries, and the nervous system. I work with you to rebuild safety at a pace that feels respectful and empowering, helping you understand the parts of yourself that had to adapt in order to survive. Using EMDR, IFS, and other trauma‑focused approaches, we gently process the memories, shame, fear, and self‑blame that often linger long after the abuse ends. My goal is to help you feel grounded, whole, and in control of your story again.

Caitlin Fountain
Psychologist, PsyD
In my work with sexual abuse survivors, I help you explore how your experiences may have shaped the way you see yourself, others, and the world. Drawing on elements of Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), we’ll gently examine themes of shame, responsibility, trust, and control, as well as the thoughts and behaviors that may be keeping you stuck. My goal is to help you challenge beliefs that no longer serve you, reconnect with your sense of agency, and move forward with greater self-compassion and freedom.

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.
