Therapist

Virtual & in-person • <1 mi away • Gainesville, FL


My interest in counseling grew from my own work recovering from childhood trauma, PTSD, and anxiety. I focus on mindfulness based counseling. Therapy can help you achieve a more fulfilling life and relationships. Therapy is a unique relationship, where you as a client can be completely open and honest. The most important factor in the success of therapy is your connection and relationship with your therapist.

I'm Kathleen, and I am a mental health counselor and trained Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) that helps people to heal trauma using a blend talk therapy and embodiment practices. My approach is trauma-informed, meaning I prioritize your safety and empowerment throughout our work together. I am trained in various modalities, including somatic therapy for releasing trauma held in the body and regulating the nervous system, Internal Family Systems (IFS) for understanding your inner world with compassion, and talk therapy to explore emotional patterns and self-beliefs. I also offer psychoeducation to help you better understand anxiety, stress, and trauma. My ultimate goal is to support you on your personal journey towards healing, growth, and overall well-being.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • 30 mi away • Trenton, FL


You may feel overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally drained, unsure why things feel harder than they used to. Maybe your thoughts won’t slow down at night, your mood shifts more than you’d like, or daily responsibilities feel heavier than before. You might feel frustrated trying to manage it all on your own, wondering if things will ever feel easier.

At Journi Alignment Mental Health, I help adults and older adults struggling with anxiety, depression, and mood disorders move toward emotional balance through personalized psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and ongoing support, offered via telehealth or in an outpatient clinic setting.

When you meet with me, you’ll find a calm, welcoming space where your concerns are heard without judgment. I take time to listen and understand your story, symptoms, and goals. Together, we create a personalized plan that may include thoughtful psychiatric evaluation, medication management when appropriate, and practical strategies to help you feel more stable and confident in your daily life. My approach is collaborative, you are always part of the decision-making process.

Over time, many clients begin to feel more balanced, more rested, and more in control of their emotions and routines. Imagine sleeping better, feeling less anxious, and having the energy to reconnect with the people and activities that matter most. My goal is to help you regain clarity, confidence, and peace as you move forward in your mental health journey.
