Monica Buttafava M.S., LMHC, Child & Adolescent Psychotherapy

"Ms. Buttafava has been such an inspiration to my family. We have been seeing her for quite some time and the positive outlook, strength and confidence that my children have incurred are all due to the help, care and love she has provided them. She does a great job of getting to the core of the issues so that my children are able to handle their anxiety. If you are struggling mentally or with anxiety, please visit with her. She is very compassionate and truly cares about her patients unlike others I have dealt with in the past. She is extremely talented and gifted! She has helped my family accomplish their goals and for that, we are truly grateful to her. Highly recommended!"

"My experience with Ms. Monica Buttafava has been fantastic! She has been very professional and has helped me enormously with the assessment of my family's circumstances and the implementation of various dynamics to allow our family to overcome our hurdles, bringing forth healing. She is always very warm, caring and transmits sincere empathy, professional knowledge and experience! We will undoubtedly keep on using her services and recommend her to all our friends."

"Ms. Buttafava is great! She helped me through a difficult time and gave me life tips that I will never forget. She really cares and is always available to provide advice and analyze my problems. I recommend her to teenagers who need advice and are dealing with challenging problems."

"I had a great experience with Monica. and I felt she was every knowledgeable about child development and behavior. She helped me better understand my child's behavior and feelings: she provided very useful tools and strategies to use at home. As a parent I am constantly worrying about my child and so it was great to have someone guide me and provide reassurance and support about my parenting fears and concerns. I would definitely recommend Monica Buttafava psychotherapy to any parents who have concerns about their kids or who maybe just want to understand how to be a better parent"

"Why psychotherapy? Because I have never known a parent that was excited to give medication to his children to address behavior. Why Monica Buttafava? Because her approach is effective and life changing. Monica helped me understand that our relationship with our children is a 50/50 deal . We as the adults need to understand how we affect our children as much as what is that our children come to this world to teach us. To raise our children while looking deep at the child that is inside us. I am the proud mother of a 16 and 18 year old that went through a really hard time and thanks to Monica I can see now how my way of raising my children was based on culture and rigid thinking. My children also learn how to express themselves and understand my point of view. I have seen a wonderful change in my children as much as I have understood better ways of parenting."
