Therapists for college students near Gainesville, FL
Ask yourself the last time you felt truly connected to the current moment. Most of us would admit that living in the present is a struggle. So often, we get caught up in trying to rewrite the already lived chapters in our life stories, or have a desire to over control and predict the outcome, that we lose sight of the chapter that we're currently writing. This tendency keeps us from being the best, most authentic versions of ourselves and limits our ability to consider what's truly important and...
Are you feeling stuck, burned out, unmotivated, exhausted or worse? That’s not life. You were meant to feel alive! By closely examining your thoughts, behaviors, and, most importantly, your emotions, you will discover what beliefs and habits keep you locked in negative, self-defeating patterns, and how to free yourself for good. Regardless of what happens – or happened – to you, you can learn to live a life filled with passion and purpose. I take a personalized, integrative and collaborative ap...

Sometimes we don’t have anyway of knowing what we’ve been through until it’s over. Recognizing things that were harmful to us sometimes cannot happen until we are no longer in survival mode. Dealing with overwhelming thoughts, depression, anxiety, or the overwhelming emotions that can come in waves is a significant thing to have to handle. This can lead to people struggling to handle life, and even consider ending it. At Inverted Dawn, we specifically work with people who’ve reached that point w...

Welcome. The arena is a place of contact; it is a place of imperfection, but also of showing up. It is not always a comfortable place, but rather a place of courage and risk. And, if we allow it, it can also be an incredible place of discovery. At Arena, we often work with the “inner critic” of clients, that discouraging voice in our heads that tells us to play it safe or give up - that we aren’t good enough, that we can’t do it. We strive to overcome this by echoing these words of ...

Before becoming a Licensed Clinical Social Worker I worked as a Correctional Officer and got to witness first hand how untreated mental health and substance abuse challenges bled over into so many different areas of life. I believe that people have an inherent desire to change their lives but some are unsure of where to start. Sometimes being empowered to change is a matter of learning what you don't know. I provide a safe, nonjudgement space to process your thoughts, desires, and fears, and co...
I'm Kathleen, and I help people to heal trauma by using a mix of talk therapy and embodiment practices. If you ever had an experience that felt like too much, it happened too fast or too soon, or it felt like it was too much for you to handle, you went through a traumatic experience. Whether your trauma happened in childhood or in adulthood, trauma can negatively impact your mental health and your relationships. To heal trauma, you must also learn to listen to your body’s signs of stress...

You've made it to college, but something still feels off. Maybe anxiety is louder than it used to be, or you're caught in a pattern you can't seem to break with substances, food, sex, or just the story you tell yourself about who you are. Maybe depression has made everything feel flat, or a relationship is unraveling, or you just sense there's more to you than what's showing up right now. I offer soul-oriented psychotherapy, therapy that goes beneath symptom management to help you understand wh...
