Sexual Abuse therapists in West Melbourne, Florida FL
Sexual Abuse
Monica Buttafava
Counselor/Therapist, M.S., LMHC
Survivors of sexual assault often report feelings of shame and guilt. The negative emotions linked to the trauma often expose child and adolescent victims of sexual abuse to mental health conditions.
Depression, anxiety, PTSD, attachment issues, addiction, personality disruption, and chronic pain can all be conditions that may develop from such traumatic experiences.
Therapy offers a safe, private space to get help without judgments, a place to talk, process, and understand feelings and ultimately reduce negative effects and symptoms.

Licensed Professional Counselor, Florida LMHC MH20515, Maine LPC CC6872
Trauma touches many people at some point in their life, but the trauma of sexual abuse leaves a deeper and more lasting mark on the survivor. Utilizing a combination of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness, I guide survivors down their chosen path of healing.

James Foley Sexual Misbehavior, Infidelity , Expert 26 Years Experience
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-R, SOTS,
I help persons who engaged in illegal sexual behaviors learn how to never do so again.
I also coordinate efforts with defense attorneys, so as to help the clients attorney best defend their client , and I work with that attorney to show the court the client is making real change.
In my coordination with the defense attorney, I work on helping the client change distorted thoughts and behaviors so as to present well at their pre-sentencing interview (PSI), to help show the court that a community (not jail) based disposition is possible for that particular client.
I have a great track record in assisting attorneys in doing their job of helping their client get the best possible disposition of the case.
