Kathryn Large

My name is Kathryn, I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and I practice in Gainesville, FL. I co-own a private practice called Horizons Counseling and Coaching, welcome!

I provide individual therapy for adults, students and adolescents navigating difficulties such as trauma, anxiety, academic issues and life transitions, chronic illness, and relational distress. My clients are defined by so much more than their diagnoses, yet they often feel overwhelmed by them and stuck in patterns that feel too big to face alone. Many are seeking someone to come alongside them as they confront these challenges and begin to reconnect with themselves.

I use a person-centered and trauma-informed approach tailored to each client’s unique needs. My work is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR therapy, and humanistic modalities, integrating insight, skill-building, and emotional processing. While therapeutic tools and education are important, I believe the relationship we build and the therapeutic process itself is the impetus for lasting change.

My goal is to create a safe, compassionate space where you feel seen and supported as you explore your experiences and decide how you want to move forward. I believe therapy works best when it feels collaborative, appropriately challenging, and rooted in an authentic connection that allows you to grow in understanding. Together, we will work to process difficult emotions, strengthen coping and problem-solving skills, and build healthier relationships. I want clients to feel grounded, resilient, and able to live lives they are proud of.
