Psychodynamic Therapists in Gainesville, FL

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of Florida working as a clinical therapist. My focus is helping people learn to feel safe in their own body while addressing issues of stress, anxiety, depression, grief, complex trauma, and substance use.

If you feel depressed or anxious, frustrated with yourself or someone else, or reeling from an important life transition, therapy can be life-changing. As your therapist, we will identify the source of your discomfort, and guide you toward repairing the disconnect between how you feel and who you want to be. I work with couples and families as well, having difficulties with communication and living harmoniously together. I specialize in young adults (18-35), for whom therapy can be pivotal in achieving great growth and change. Another specialty is those having issues with parenting, and balancing work/family/individual needs.

I work with men, women, students, and couples. My master's focus was in mental health and trauma, my PhD internship focused on community mental health. I treat anxiety and stress, along with trauma disorders using EMDR. I can help clients with a wide range of issues. My approach to therapy is client centered. I treat the whole person, not just a symptom profile of the person. Results from my work include symptom reduction and clients feeling more confident and focused. Clients also report not feeling so burdened internally, thus freeing them to be more alive and present, thus increasing quality of life experience,

Hi there, I'm Michal! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. My approach to therapy is strength-based. I believe that each client is the expert on their life and has the innate ability to heal themselves. I am here to support and help the client re-discover their natural and inherited inner wisdom. The client is never the problem, it is the environment and the conditioned or unhealthy defense mechanism that we learned along the way. Through reflection, analysis, and hands-on application of therapy, I have helped many clients develop new coping skills, insights, and capacity to resolve life challenges.

www.lissafriedman.com - I like to help people find the deep knot of their pattern, gently lovingly untie it, and bring healing to the wound. I have been a therapist for about 30 years, and in private Practice since 1987. While my style is eclectic, it is my warmth, compassion, and acceptance that underlie all of my work. I try to provide an environment, much like a container, for my clients to open to their own natural self compassion and acceptance. Seeing each person as whole, rather than deficient provides an environment for people to come to a natural place of healing.

In therapy I aim to engage clients in their process of personal growth and meet them where they are in their change process. Various interventions are used to meet the diversity of clientele that I work with. My personal approach to therapy is supportive of self-care and the influences of family and environmental contexts.

My client has a need to feel better about issues that they cannot resolve. My client wants to be educated about what they are feeling, and why they experience it. My client will learn, and apply managing techniques for coping, calming and self correcting their triggers to dysfunctional thoughts and actions.

You’re driven and ambitious, but sometimes find yourself stuck on the couch, overwhelmed by anxiety, procrastination, and perfectionism. Some days you’re on top of the world, and others, you constantly second-guess yourself. You feel the pressure to keep it together, balancing your job, relationships, and life... and you are tired. You get in your own head and escape through mindless eating, drinking, doom scrolling, and sleepless nights, but deep down, you have big goals. The fog of self-doubt and fear of failure makes it hard to get started, and you’re ready for a change.

At Gainesville Healing House we are passionate about deep level healing. We believe that in order to access your healthiest and most fulfilled self you must be able to clear any traumas and/or shame messaging.

Unhealed trauma and shame can look like relationship struggles, lack of self-esteem, poor school performance, addictions, keeping yourself stressed and too busy. We are here to help you work to make the unconscious conscious so you can be on your way to your most authentically you life.

Throughout life, we face life changes, identity and personal crises, losses, and possible disconnection with ourselves and with others.

Creating a life of greater joy and abundance is achieved through honest and open communication, reflection, and a deeper relationship with ourselves and with others.
