ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Gainesville, FL

When we feel othered, alone, or hopeless — it's hard to ask for help. Talking to a therapist can help you feel like yourself again. I help my clients discover the root of their concerns through storytelling, reflecting on their values and desires, and understanding in what ways they’ve adapted to being in the world.

Hi, I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who helps adults navigate life transitions. I offer a warm and supportive space where clients can slow down, process their experiences, and feel supported while managing life’s challenges.

Success in therapy starts with a strong partnership. I focus on building a solid therapeutic alliance—a collaborative bond rooted in mutual agreement on your treatment goals. By working as a team, we create a clear, evidence-based roadmap for meaningful change.

Hi everyone! My name is Ivy, and I am a psychiatric nurse practitioner based in Orlando, FL.

I am a 28 year old female (she/her) that enjoys watching anime, playing video games, and spending time with my five cats.

Outside of work, I like to spend time with my fiance. We love to explore and try new food places, so if you're looking for recommendations, I have tons!

Solutions and progress are key therapy. Processing in a safe environment. Marriage, pre marriage, abusive power, pornography and sex dependencies, and Christian issues are specialties allowing growth without judgement or shame.

Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, depression, OCD, behavioral challenges, or illness affect you or your child. You don't have to face these challenges alone. As a licensed psychologist with more than 20 years of experience, I have helped children, adolescents, and adults develop practical skills, overcome obstacles, and move toward more meaningful, fulfilling lives.

If you're in your 20s or 30s and life feels harder to manage than it should—whether that’s ADHD affecting work or relationships, grief that won’t lift, the weight of new parenthood, or a season that’s pushed you past your usual coping—I’d love to talk.

With over 30 years of experience, I still genuinely enjoy this work and the people I meet. I believe everyone has real strengths, and therapy can help clear the path so you can actually use them.

I’m warm and affirming, and I won’t avoid the hard stuff. I’m direct without being critical, so you’ll always know where I stand—and that I’m on your side.

If you've spent a long time handling everything on your own, the idea of opening up in therapy can feel uncomfortable — maybe even a little vulnerable. You might be stuck in your head, second-guessing yourself, or repeating patterns you can't quite break no matter how hard you try. You don't need to have it all figured out before you reach out. You just need a willingness to start, and I'll meet you right there.
