Being stuck in your problems can feel overwhelming and it becomes difficult to overcome these problems and feelings associated with them on your own. As Albert Einstein once said, “No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.“ Allow me to help you navigate your personal and relational struggles through my collaborative therapeutic approach that is tailor made to your personal goals because everyone has a different perspective and past experiences.

Are you a high achieving woman who feels like she’s lost herself in all the other demands of life? You might feel unmotivated where you used to feel driven, or worried or stressed where you used to feel in control. It feels like someone is always needing something from you, and you’re realizing that your to-do list is coming at the expense of your own wellbeing. You’re ready to DO something about this—not just sit and talk, but learn some practical ways to actually start changing your life and how you feel about it. You’re ready to stop second-guessing yourself, feeling disconnected in your relationships, and missing out on life.

I believe the cornerstone of creating change is a strong therapeutic alliance..an affirmative working relationship between client and therapist. Our past is a part of our current functioning, in that behaviors and attitudes that once helped us survive can sometimes become outdated and problematic. Therapy is one way to help people "revise" their survival tools and live a more enriching and fulfilling life.

Accepting New Clients! Are you tired of constantly feeling overwhelmed and anxious? Your mind is racing with a million thoughts, and you never have a chance to just relax and be present. You feel like no matter what you do, you’re never good enough. You find it difficult balancing your workload, hobbies, and social life, while still making time for yourself. You’re constantly worried about what other people think of you, and you find yourself replaying social situations in your head.

I work from a relational and insight oriented approach. I believe that we were all created for connection and that our woundedness often gets in the way of this connectedness, whether it be to God or to others. Deep, intensive, soul counseling can help heal this woundedness so that connections are more honest, genuine, and whole. It should also leave you with a deeper sense of self and identity, so that you can interact in healthy ways with the world around you.

Welcome to my counseling practice. I know that choosing to begin or re-enter counseling can be a difficult or intimidating decision. My goal is to create a collaborative and safe therapeutic relationship where we can work towards your healing and wellness. I believe that distress - however it manifests - is a response to adversity. In working with people I find that the important questions to ask are "What have you been through?" Or, "What have you experienced?" Not, "What is wrong with you?"

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.

How can I find a therapist in Gainesville?

Search for nearby therapists or counselors by inputting your city, town, or suburb; or zip code; or a provider’s name into the search bar. From there, you can filter providers by the issues they treat, cost, insurance, gender, and other factors to find providers who are well-suited to your needs. To navigate between locations within the same country, enter a new city or zip code into the search bar.

Learn more about how to find a therapist.

Is online therapy a good option?

Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?

Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.

What type of therapist is right for me?

Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?

The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What type of therapy is right for me?

The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?

Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
