Sexual Abuse therapists in Laurel, Florida FL
Lisa C. Holder
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, LPC
Sexual abuse can be one of the most debilitating forms of trauma for anyone, but especially children. It causes shame and sets individuals up for poor relationships in the future. Often secrets about sexual abuse are kept which adds to the trauma. This can be passed down through generations. Please reach out to me if you have been traumatized by sexual abuse.

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.

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.

Barbara Magnusson Coffee
Licensed Professional Counselor, Ph.D., LMFT
Sadly, statistics show 1/4 girls were sexually abused and 1/5 boys. It is likely under-reported since victims often feel shame and responsibiity which is not theirs to carry.
