Therapists for college students near Gainesville, FL
Many of the students I work with look like they’ve got it all together but inside, they’re stressed, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns that don’t feel good anymore. Some are juggling school, work, and relationships. Others are navigating anxiety, depression, or coping in ways that aren’t helping. What they share is the desire for change. They want to feel calmer, more confident, and more in control with tools they can actually use in daily life. If this sounds like you, you don’t have to f...

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.

College life is exciting but can amplify challenges such as worries about how we present ourselves, what others think of us, our growing independence from our family, values conflicts with family and friends, adjusting to cultural differences, emerging relationship patterns, and friendship problems, all while juggling the stress that comes with school. The level of organization and time management required in college can also be harder to figure out all on your own. I remember the days when ...

I offer depth-oriented therapy for clients who feel stuck with relationships, identity questions, life transitions, grief, or anxiety. Many have tried therapy before and found it helpful but incomplete. I work with adults, children, couples, families, and seniors, creating space for exploration and lasting change. My work is psychoanalytic and relational, affirming why difficulties persist despite every effort to heal. I offer a supportive, structured space where open-ended conversation and c...
My goal is to improve client mental health so that they feel and perform better. I provide a space where clients can be “heard” without judgment and are able to identify their strengths. These strengths are then combined with research-based practices to build skills needed to achieve one's personal goals. If a client is unsure about their goals, they have my support in helping to clarify them. We will then learn, practice and apply the skills. At other times, a simple objective ear is all a clie...
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...

This passion is reflected in my trauma-informed systemic approach to therapy. People are complex beings, doing th...
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...

Greetings beautiful humans! I am ethically non-monogamous (ENM), LGBTQ+, and autistic/ADHD. I share these identities as they inform and impact my worldview as well as my therapeutic process.

I also enjoy working with other communities that may feel ‘othered’ like people of color, vegans, atheists, sexual ou...

Culture, identity, and expression are essential to happiness. However, for some of us, this is a challenge to embrace. I work collaboratively with my clients to help them embrace their true selves and accept what we cannot change. People frequently limit themselves based on old assumptions & expectations, and it can be freeing to start to untangle this. The emotional pain caused by these issues can often be isolating, and it can be healing to have somebody else there with you to explore and proc...
