Couples Counseling Therapists in Gainesville, FL
Areas that influence my style of therapy include Internal Family Systems (IFS), Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Gottman method couples therapy, cognitive behavioral strategies, and strengths based therapy.
Hi! I am Nicole French. I have been a counselor for the last 10 years and have worked with some of the most diverse clients helping them to find a path toward health and mental wellness. For some this has looked like freeing themselves from old hurts, finding value in themselves again or possibly for the first time, setting healthy boundaries in various types of relationships, learning skills to manage specific symptoms like anxiety or depression, and building achievable goals in all areas of their lives.

There may be times that your life just doesn't seem to be working despite your best efforts and intentions. This may show up in a variety of ways, such as, a sense of meaninglessness or feelings of being stuck in a dead-end job, relationship or destructive habit. Repetitive patterns of thinking and the idea that you should know what to do frequently "holds you in place". In my experience, the fresh insights you are seeking to move you forward in your life can often be discovered when you are given the space, time and support to hear them.

In addition to my work with individuals and couples and families.
With Isabell’s help, I experienced profound healing and growth beyond my wildest imagination. In every session, I received absolute presence and compassion—no note taking, no distractions, no judgment, pure being in the Now. I sought out her help when I was going through an awfully painful breakup. What would have taken traditional therapists several years, Isabell helped me dissolve in just 10 weeks. What an amazingly liberating experience. I came out of this counseling as a strong, independent woman bursting with a love for life. - Female Client, 43

Fundamentally we are forming a relationship that provides the container for your process to occur in whatever way you need.
Many of us find ourselves stuck reliving old patterns and creating needless pain for ourselves and others. Often these patterns, which may or may not be labeled by society as an illness or a disorder, represent our best attempts at responding to harmful circumstances and relationships, trauma, oppression, and other real challenges. Whatever the past or present may hold, our work now is to become aware of our patterns and decide which ones to keep and which ones to replace in service of ease and connection instead of continued suffering.

Too often we are unable to fully experience our potential in life because we are in pain, feel stuck, or are struggling with difficult emotions. During these times it can be hard to gather the strength needed to move forward. My approach is humanistic, interactive, and collaborative in nature. I trust that a secure and trusting therapeutic relationship has the potential to facilitate tremendous growth and emotional repair. As one moves toward healing my hope is that our work together will empower you to make the meaningful changes and facilitate personal growth.

I use these techniques to great effect with individuals, couples, and families.
Human beings are storytellers. We weave stories from our understanding of our own lives and the lives of those around us. As our minds compose the story it is possible for us to lose track of the plot. Occasionally we find ourselves believing that we are a supporting character in our own lives. You are meant to be the protagonist of your own story. I believe that you are meant to live a life of unique purpose, and that you are worthy of dignity and respect. Counseling can be the place where we recalibrate our thinking, and strengthen the parts of ourselves we keep hidden and safe. Sometimes we need help, and that is only human.

In both my personal experiences and professional work, I have seen how healing a supportive presence can be for people who are struggling. I think it is a great privilege to work as a therapist and be able to offer that sort of presence to clients. I have clinical experience working with children, adolescents, and adults who have struggled with various issues in their lives, including complex trauma (emotional, physical, and sexual), depression and anxiety, family/ relationship issues, and religion/spirituality. I look forward to working with you wherever you currently find yourself in life and to helping you heal and grow!

I am dual trained in Mental Health in addition to Marriage and Family therapy. Therefore I work with individuals as well as couples and families. My approach to working with clients is to identify where they are currently at, then help them identify where they want to be. Through collaboration I work with clients to identify clear, identifiable short term goals to aid them in growing closer to their main therapeutic goal.

We all, at some point in life, feel lost, stuck, disconnected, overwhelmed and want to feel peaceful again. I believe peace comes from a more integrated self, and I will support you to explore your self, bring more awareness and compassion to those parts of you that contain the hard feelings, and facilitate more acceptance within them. I work with adults and couples who experience challenging events like trauma, including childhood trauma, other complex and acute trauma, loss and grief, life transitions, relational problems, anxiety, depression, and intergenerational relationships.
