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.

Sexual Abuse
Lauren A. Matos
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, MCAP
For 10 years, I have been helping survivors of sexual abuse find healing through EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy. This approach offers a structured yet compassionate path to addressing traumatic memories, allowing clients to process their experiences safely and effectively. Through EMDR, I guide clients to reframe painful memories, helping to reduce the emotional intensity and regain control over their narratives. With a focus on building resilience and restoring a sense of safety and self-worth, I provide a caring and supportive space for each person’s unique healing journey. It is a privilege to witness my clients reclaim their inner strength, empowering them to move forward with renewed confidence and hope.

Sexual Abuse
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.

Sexual Abuse
Susan Ramsey-French
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Sexual abuse is a traumatic event. Many of my clients seek therapy to heal from childhood sexual abuse and find that they are stuck in toxic relationship patterns and often describe their behaviors as self-sabotaging because they believe that they are not good enough or that it was their fault. Sexual abuse is never the survivor's fault. Using somatic processing and EMDR we can eliminate those negative thoughts and feelings while empowering you to break free from the past and build the best future you can have. You don't have to relive the whole trauma to become whole again.
