Dr. Cheryl D La Rotta
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Ph.D, LMHC
I offer expert clinical treatment for survivors of sexual violence and childhood sexual abuse. Specializing in Complex PTSD (C-PTSD) and attachment trauma, I utilize EMDR and Clinical Hypnotherapy to alleviate the debilitating symptoms of trauma, including intrusive thoughts and emotional numbness. My practice is a safe, non-judgmental space where your pace is honored and your healing is prioritized. You are not defined by what happened to you; let’s work together to build the future you deserve.

Jennifer Cain
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Sexual abuse is a severe breach of trust and safety that can leave a person with long term trauma symptoms and effects. If you have experienced sexual abuse, you are probably experiencing a number of problems that feel like they will never be resolved. But there is hope, and recovery is possible. I will work with you to process through this trauma and regain yourself and your sense of safety. I use a variety of strategies, including art, EMDR, and somatic strategies, that do not require you to describe the specifics of what happened, if you don't want to.

Daniela Tullio
Counselor/Therapist, LCSW
Have you recently been sexually abused or assaulted? Are you currently in an abusive relationship or just getting out of one? Or Maybe you have a history of sexual abuse? I can help. I have first hand experience in helping individuals who are either currently struggling with or who have struggled with sexual abuse. Sexual abuse can be painful and it often leaves scars that last many years after the abuse. Sexual abuse can cloud how we view ourselves and the world, and it can lead us to develop highly warped perceptions of ourselves. It can be scary to think about revisiting these old wounds. But you dont have to do it alone. Together, we will face and battle your demons. I will help you in working through the past abuse that continues to affect you today and teach you healthy ways to cope with and manage the negative effects and distress you experience on a daily basis as a result of this abuse. Don’t allow your past to continue to control you, healing is possible. The life you want is possible. Give me a call today for more information on how I can help.

Chelsie Ciminelli
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Holistic Health Practitioner
I support individuals who have experienced sexual abuse or sexual trauma and are navigating the lasting emotional, relational, and physical effects of those experiences. My approach centers on creating a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where you can move at your own pace and remain in control of your healing process. Together, we can gently explore how trauma may have affected your relationship with yourself, your body, your emotions, boundaries, trust, and relationships while developing greater nervous-system regulation and a sense of safety within yourself. My work is focused not only on processing what happened, but on helping you reconnect with your inherent worth, reclaim your sense of agency, and develop a relationship with yourself and your body that feels more safe, empowered, and whole.

Online in Gainesville, FL
Gainesville is home to the University of Florida, one of the largest universities in the United States by enrollment, and the city's character and mental health landscape are overwhelmingly shaped by this—a huge, young student population with significant academic, social, and identity-related mental health needs, supported by one of Florida's most comprehensive university counseling systems. UF Health Shands Hospital provides one of the state's strongest behavioral health services, making Gainesville an important regional resource for psychiatric care across north Florida. The population dynamic creates a city that is both progressive and college-town oriented, surrounded by a more rural north Florida context, and therapists in Gainesville work across a wide range of populations and presenting concerns. Common therapy concerns include academic stress, identity development, anxiety, substance use, young adult life transitions, and the particular challenges of a college community navigating mental health support often for the first time.
