Erika Shershun
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I specialize in helping trauma survivors, especially survivors of childhood and/or adult sexual trauma, reclaim the life they were meant to live. If you're struggling with symptoms related to trauma, such as being easily triggered, anxiety or depression, dissociation (feeling spaced out, numb, unable to ground, or connect to your body's sensations) trouble sleeping, nightmares, or flashbacks and more, you're in the right place (for an extensive list of trauma symptoms check out my post https://www.healingsexualtrauma.com/post/what-are-trauma-symptoms). My goal is to help you get the results you're looking for while offering lots of needed compassion and understanding. I'm the author of the Healing Sexual Trauma Workbook, the upcoming Healing Sexual Trauma Guided Journal (2024), and teacher of the PESI Sexual Trauma Clinical Training. I'm dedicated to supporting my clients as they navigate their healing journey.

Madeline Taylor, PhD
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
A patient should feel the therapist's genuine interest in him or her, and should gradually come to trust the therapist's open, non-judgmental attitude. My aim is to provide a growth-enhancing environment for patients as we join together to deal with whatever struggles they are experiencing. People in my practice tend to grow in their ability to face the difficulties in their lives. They develop greater confidence in the legitimacy of their wants and needs and in their ability to get those needs met.

Dr. Christina Charlotin
Psychologist, Psy.D.
My goal in my work is to empower you to break away from the chronic emotions, thought patterns, behaviors and outcomes that do not serve you. When setting our treatment goals, we’ll discuss what you’d like to gain, what you’d like to keep, & what you’d choose to no longer experience. With that information, we’ll work towards creating your version of happiness.
