Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in 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.

been spent supporting Veterans and others navigating life's hardest terrain, and I would be

honored to walk alongside you on yours.
