Sometimes we become better at seeming to be well, rather than actually being well. Living our fullest lives comes when we are aligned mind, body, and soul. This life of wellness is a delicate balance that can be impacted by life and other circumstances leaving us looking for a change. Therapy doesn't have to be a last resort when we're struggling and feel out of options; perhaps it is just the next step to wellness. Working with a therapist can be helpful in finding and maintaining your balance, to reconnect with your authentic self.

Call or text (352)-329-2040 : Welcome, my name is Kelly Gregory and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I received my master's and specialist's degrees from the University of Florida. I am trained in trauma-based approaches to care, DBT, and EMDR (level 2). I operate from a wellness model - to me that means I see symptoms and behaviors as normal responses to abnormal circumstances. Life happens and we survive the best we can with what we have. Sometimes we find ways of surviving that were necessary in the past, but no longer serve us in the present.

Do you struggle with depression, anxiety and/or stress in your life? I enjoy helping clients explore their life story and establish connections from their past with their current behavioral patterns. As we go through life, we often receive messages that having certain emotions are a bad thing. When we experience hurt, rejection and/or abandonment, we often become overly focused on finding ways to prevent ourselves from experiencing pain. This often comes at a cost which can then compound the pain we are feeling. Additionally, many of my clients struggle with control and/or perfectionist thinking.

Ask yourself the last time you felt truly connected to the current moment. Most of us would admit that living in the present is a struggle. So often, we get caught up in trying to rewrite the already lived chapters in our life stories, or have a desire to over control and predict the outcome, that we lose sight of the chapter that we're currently writing. This tendency keeps us from being the best, most authentic versions of ourselves and limits our ability to consider what's truly important and meaningful. I enjoy working with clients who recognize this conflict and are willing to sit with and consider their current experience.

Perhaps you’ve felt like something’s been holding you back from living your best life. Or maybe you keep finding yourself in the same place despite your best efforts to make changes or sustain changes you’ve previously made. We all carry the baggage of our past, all of our hurts, pain, self-doubt, and fear, and survived it the best way we knew how. And although we’ve survived 100% of those worst days, surviving is no longer cutting it.
