Melissa Drinkman, Pathways To Connection
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, DBH, LCSW
As a counseling group practice specializing in sexual abuse, we provide a compassionate and safe space for individuals to heal from the trauma of abuse. We understand that the emotional, mental, and physical effects of sexual abuse can be deeply challenging, and our practice is dedicated to supporting survivors through their journey of recovery. With a trauma-informed approach, we help clients process their experiences, manage the feelings of shame, guilt, or anxiety, and rebuild their sense of safety and empowerment. Through therapy, we guide individuals in reclaiming their strength, fostering self-compassion, and finding healing at their own pace. Our goal is to support survivors in rediscovering their worth, restoring their confidence, and living fulfilling lives.

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.

Dr. Katerina Nair
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
I work with indviduals who have experienced sexual abuse by providing a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space to process experiences that may continue to affect their sense of self, relationships, and emotional well-being. We'll explore the ways trauma and attachment experiences may have shaped how you relate to yourself and others while working toward greater safety, self-compassion, and healthy boundaries.

Megan Anderson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Therapist & A Couch is a space rooted in the belief that every part of you belongs. Many people who walk through my door are navigating relationships that have become unsafe or harmful, including experiences of sexual abuse. These struggles often point to deeper questions about connection, safety, relational patterns, and identity, which refers to the ways we learn to be with others and with ourselves.
No matter the story someone arrives with, the diagnoses they may carry, or the identities they may hold, we begin with the core human experiences that connect us all — our wishes, fears, wounds, conflicts, patterns, walking contradictions...our messiness. Within these places live the quiet truths that shape who we are. Together, we gently sift through what’s been heavy so you can feel lighter, freer, and more whole.
