Sexual Abuse therapists in Pahokee, Florida FL
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.

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.
