Annetta Davenport, MSCP

Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Florida Board Certified Sex Therapist.

Training through the International Institute of Trauma and Addiction Professionals (IITAP) for certification process as a Sex Addiction Therapist.

Training through the National Institute for Trauma and Loss in Children (TLC) for certification as a Trauma Specialist.

Currently assigned to facilitate the "Chronic Pain" treatment group at Twelve Oaks.

Trained by the Department of Defense, Army, and designated as a volunteer "Master Trainer" in the Army Family Team Building program.

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, primarily used.

Working in the field of mental health counseling gives me a chance to be a life-long learner. I especially enjoy the area of Neuropsychology, and the specialties in addictions, trauma, and chronic pain give me the opportunity to best apply this exciting information in what I do. Because I have been affiliated with the military community as a life-long dependent in some way, I am also very sensitive to the needs of the military family.

I find that addiction (including sex addiction), trauma, chronic pain, and sex therapy are very compatible with each other, and its been rewarding to see the transformation in people when they "connect the dots" to the reasons why they may behave, and is no longer willing to use them as an excuse for unhealthy choices. I believe that the basic need humans have is to feel "safe and secure" in the relationships we have with others, and since relationship failure usually is at the core of most substance abuse, providing tools to help people develop healthy intimacy is what I truly enjoy doing. This is my way of providing hope that we all have resilience to survive, at some level, and we are capable of growth after trauma (Post Traumatic Growth).
