Sexual Abuse therapists in Forest City, Florida FL
Sexual Abuse
Ellen Fontaine
Therapist, MSW, Registered Clinical Social Work Intern
My approach with trauma is to make connections with how it is affecting your current life. Clients are often surprised to learn some of the symptoms that come with trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Some of those symptoms include anxiety, intrusive thoughts, guilt, social isolation, loss of pleasure, hypervigilance, and self-destructive behaviors (to name a few). Although this can seem overwhelming, I use trauma-informed approaches and a trauma reprocessing therapy similar to EMDR.

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.

Christina Andino
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
In my role as a therapist specializing in sexual abuse and trauma, I am here to assist survivors in addressing symptoms such as anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The therapeutic process is a transformative journey that aids in reclaiming a sense of self-worth and propelling survivors towards post-traumatic growth.
Survivors of sexual abuse bear immense pain and trauma, often leaving enduring emotional and psychological scars. Therapy emerges as a potent tool, enabling survivors to embark on a healing path and regain control over their lives.
Within the therapeutic space, survivors find a safe and supportive environment to process their experiences, validate their emotions, and develop coping strategies. Through this process, survivors gain a deeper understanding of the impact of abuse on their mental health, build resilience, and acquire the skills to establish healthy boundaries. The aim is to empower survivors on their journey towards healing and recovery.
