Sexual Abuse therapists in Maitland, Florida FL
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.

Michaela Decker
Counselor/Therapist, LMFT
Frequently, people who have experienced trauma develop extraordinary survival skills. Often the strategies that were critical for survival, are not sustainable long term and thwart the ability to develop satisfying work, family and/or romantic relationships. Therapy provides an opportunity to become "unstuck" and transcend thinking and behavior patterns that are holding you back from realizing your potential. I specialize in the treatment of PTSD, anxiety and depression, and am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). When distress from a disturbing event remains, the upsetting images, thoughts, and emotions may create an overwhelming feeling of being back in that moment. EMDR therapy helps the brain process these memories, and allows normal healing to resume. EMDR therapy is not complete until attention has been brought to the past memories that are contributing to the problem, the present situations that are disturbing, and what skills the needed for the future.

Ornella Dickson
Registered Psychotherapist, MSW, MPA, RCSWI
You can heal from the abuse, and feelings of rejection, sadness, panic attacks, negative thoughts, intimacy issues, don’t just survive. “Don’t let the fear of the unknown keep you from experiencing a life greater than you have ever known.” ~ Jeff Mcclung.

Ben Dickstein
Psychologist, PhD
I often apply current, best-practice treatments for PTSD and depression to aid my clients in recovery from past sexual abuse experiences, both from child- and adulthood. These techniques help clients heal regardless of whether the abuse occurred briefly or over a prolonged period. I treat both men and women with histories of sexual abuse and assault and try to be especially attuned to the unique forms of stigma that are often perceived by clients.
