Sexual Abuse therapists in Ormond-by-the-Sea, 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.

Margie Schlesinger
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker LCSW, LCSW-C
I have had the privilege of working and training in a sexual assault center for many years and this has increased my expertise when working with individuals struggling with this trauma. It takes courage to take the first steps in order to "come out the other side" with a feeling of self confidence, mastery, and healing.

Josh Stieber
Psychologist, PhD
Sexual abuse is one of the most devastating, confusing, and painful betrayals that a person can experience. My practice specializes in work with those who have suffered trauma. In this work, I emphasize bringing compassion to the aspects of your psyche that have been damaged while supporting your inner wisdom as you work to set boundaries and take care of your needs. If you are ready for the next step, I invite you to reach out for a complimentary phone consultation.

Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Sexual abuse often creates very painful symptoms and is something for which I use a therapy called Prolonged Exposure (PE). In this therapy, we will revisit traumatic situations, process painful emotions, and change unhelpful beliefs about yourself and the world around you as a result of your trauma. People are often amazed at how quickly this treatment can work and by the very meaningful change that can result. For these reasons, this is one of my favorite treatments to provide.
