Monica Buttafava
Counselor/Therapist, M.S., LMHC
Therapy can help kids battling with gender identity, gender dysphoria, sexual orientation, and issues related to ‘coming out,’ allowing them to explore the emotional, psychological and behavioral aspects of the process of their sexual configuration. Mental Health Intervention can support and guide youth to better manage their feelings and deal with discrimination, social isolation, anxiety, and depression.

Pamela Goffman
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, TEP
Psychotherapy opens our perceptions to the meanings behind our beliefs and patterns of behavior, that in turn comprise the roles we take in our lives. My job is to help you integrate these perceptions and access these meanings, so you can expand your life by creating new roles.

Lauren Rothstein
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I offer an affirming, inclusive space for LGBTQ+ individuals to explore identity, navigate life transitions, process past or present challenges, and build a more authentic, empowered life. Whether you're exploring your gender or sexuality, facing family or societal pressures, or simply seeking a therapist who truly gets it—you are welcome here. My approach is compassionate, trauma-informed, and grounded in respect for your lived experience. This is a space where you don’t have to explain or defend who you are.

Root & Rise Clinical Specialists
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-R
At Root & Rise, we believe that affirming LGBTQIA+ identities isn’t optional—it’s foundational to our practice. As a clinic co-led by Kristina Scaglione, LCSW-R, who has long worked with LGBTQIA+ individuals, couples, and families, we bring both lived-awareness and clinical fluency to gender, sexuality, non-traditional relationships, and identity transitions. Kristina’s background includes developing LGBTQIA+ mentoring initiatives, advocacy work on transgender rights, a history of designing programs for domestic violence in LGBTQIA+ settings, and maintaining licenses across NY, CT, FL, and MA.
We do more than use inclusive language. We purposefully integrate modalities like CBT, EFT, trauma-informed care, holistic work and attachment/identity processing in ways that honor your unique lived experience—not in a “one-size-fits-all” way, but tailored to intersectionality, relational complexity, and the broader context of systemic stressors. This means we--you--feel seen, validated, held accountable, and empowered.
If you’re seeking therapy where your gender, orientation, relationship style, and authentic self are embraced (not merely tolerated), and where the path ahead is built on clarity, safety, and growth, Root & Rise is ready and fully equipped to support you.

West Palm Beach is the county seat and largest city of Palm Beach County, sitting just across the Intracoastal Waterway from the ultra-wealthy enclave of Palm Beach island, and this juxtaposition of extreme wealth and the more working-class and ethnically diverse West Palm Beach community creates a distinctive mental health context around economic inequality, aspiration, and the psychological impact of proximity to extreme affluence. The city has a large Black and Latino community with significant Haitian and Caribbean heritage, and culturally competent Spanish- and Haitian Creole-speaking therapists are in demand. Palm Beach County's behavioral health system and a private therapy sector—including a substantial addiction treatment industry that draws clients from across the country—serve different segments of the population. Common therapy concerns include economic stress and inequality, Black and Caribbean-American identity, addiction and recovery, anxiety, and the complex emotional experience of living adjacent to one of the wealthiest communities in the world.
