Therapists for college students near Gainesville, FL

At Arise, we do things differently. We believe healing thrives in real relationships—in spaces where people feel seen, heard, and deeply respected. That’s why we’ve created a practice that reflects who we are: authentic, compassionate, and grounded in trust. Our approach is human-first, not symptom-first. We reject cold, clinical models that pathologize the human experience. Instead, we offer care that is transparent, non-judgmental, and free from unnecessary gatekeeping—because we believe yo...

Hey and Welcome! As a therapist, my goal is to create an emotionally safe space, that is intersectional and inclusive, to pursue personal healing and self-discovery. Through our work, we will identify how the experiences you have had in your life have impacted who you are in this world and how you relate to others. We will explore the emotional, mental, and systemic barriers that get in the way of evolving into the person you'd ideally like to be, while simultaneously developing a deep respe...

Tensegrity is the balance in systems under tension. When we are resourced and grounded, this tension can feel propulsive and useful; when we are overwhelmed or disoriented, it can feel suffocating, oppressive, and unsafe. To move through this suffering, therapy is a resource that can lead to insight, empowerment, and authenticity. My name is Conor Mitchell. I am an artist and musician, a father and co-parent, and a licensed therapist. I believe in the power of therapy, mindfulness, mentorship...

I am an art therapist with a lifelong love for art making and creating space for people to experience healing and connection within themselves and their relationships. Art therapy utilizes the process of art making for its inherently soothing and therapeutic nature, as well as a means of communication, self-expression, gaining insight, and problem solving.  I offer empathetic listening, compassionate support, and helping people tap into their own answers, strengths, and skills. I work with al...

Welcome! There are times in life where we may find ourselves struggling with current stressors or are experiencing challenges coping with wounds from the past. While seemingly functioning in the day-to-day routines of work, school, home, and within relationships, it becomes increasingly difficult or sometimes even impossible to manage. For many of us, strength is often perceived as “holding it together” while we are painfully bottling up the emotions that we were actually designed to experien...

College is supposed to be exciting. A fresh start. Independence. Growth. But for many, it feels overwhelming, lonely, and quietly exhausting. You may look capable and fine on the outside, but inside you feel like you're crumbling-unmotivated, exhausted, alone, on edge, scattered, or stuck in your head. You overthink everything you say. You compare yourself to everyone else. You feel pressure to succeed, to have it all figured out, to not mess up. And no matter how hard you try, it still neve...

Hi! I am Nicole French. I have been a counselor for the last 15 years and have worked with some of the most diverse clients helping them to find a path toward health and mental wellness. For some this has looked like freeing themselves from old hurts, finding value in themselves again or possibly for the first time, setting healthy boundaries in various types of relationships, learning skills to manage specific symptoms like anxiety or depression, and building achievable goals in all areas of th...

As a therapist, I am committed to being genuine and authentic with my clients. I have had the opportunity to work with a diverse range of clinical issues including grief, relational problems, self-injury, suicide, depression, anxiety, trauma, abuse, and other issues that can create disconnection to oneself and others.

On the outside it looks like you have it all together, but inside you're engaged in a constant struggle for control. Your anxiety, OCD, and/or eating disorder has taken over your life. You find yourself in a constant loop of feeling worried, nervous, stressed and at times not good enough, thin enough, or smart enough. You’re stuck and unable to find the relief that you crave, so you try temporary fixes. Sometimes you disconnect and avoid people and your responsibilities, sometimes you binge, som...

I've been working with college students for over 25 years, using an approach that combines self-understanding ("how did I get this way?") with practical, specific methods to change behaviors and attitudes (" how can I make my day better tomorrow?") Whether the problem area is depression, anxiety, academics or a complicated relationship, talking it over with a professional -- and looking at all the details together -- can definitely lead anyone to a more satisfying and comfortable existence. ...

Being human is hard. There are many emotions that come from simply existing. It can feel overwhelming to embark on the search and discovery of one’s most authentic self all while navigating the world around you. To learn what works & what you’d like to change. To find the language to communicate who you are to yourself & others. It can help to have someone accompany you as you learn & remember who you are or want to become. I can provide a space for all that you carry to be witnessed, validated,...
