Marriage Counseling Therapists in Gainesville, FL

An ideal client recognizes their substance use has become problematic and is motivated to make positive changes. They may face physical, emotional, and interpersonal issues and feel overwhelmed. Services they may require include diagnosis, counseling, group therapy, and referrals for additional resources. Their goals may include abstinence, physical/mental health improvement, relationship repair, and healthy coping strategies. Motivations for seeking help vary, but clients must have a desire for a fulfilling life free from negative consequences of substance abuse. Support and empowerment are essential in the journey to recovery.

I provide therapy for adults, college students and adolescents with various mental health concerns that include mood disorders, PTSD, grief and adjustment disorders, and relational distress. I seek to form deep and authentic relationships with clients and sit with them in struggle and loss. I empathetically connect with clients in order to facilitate healing in a safe environment and empower them to find their voice and practice healthy practices in relationships. I help clients move forward by collaboratively solving problems, examining and restructuring negative beliefs, and bringing forth their true identity and strengths.

Are you motivated to understand yourself better, grow in perspective and insight about your world and circumstances, and translate this learning into meaningful action? If so, we may be a good match! I believe truly effective therapy happens when we are ready to look deeply and critically at our current situation, ready to really try to make sustainable, practical changes, and able to be humble and self-compassionate in our attempts to flourish. You do not have to know exactly what you want or need, or have all the answers, but being willing to find those together is the key to meaningful therapy.

Your relationship doesn’t feel the way you wish it did. Yes, you love each other, but it seems like you fight more often than you don’t these days. Neither of you feels like the other is listening, and you then get caught in cycles you can’t seem to break. Maybe it’s big stuff you’re disagreeing about—money, sex, or parenting—or something seemingly trivial that keeps tripping you up. Or perhaps the relationship you’re struggling with isn’t the one with your partner, but a parent or sibling. Whatever it is you’re facing, you both believe reconnection & repair is possible, and you’re ready to get the support you need to do that.

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.

Perhaps you are here to explore how therapy can help you through trauma, relational stuck points, and cultivating a better relationship with yourself. I would love to be part of your journey as I know that the paths in life can be rocky and sometimes treacherous. At times we just need someone to help us get back up after falling down or just be with one who may have a little bit more familiarity of routes that are walked through certain terrain in life. I may not have the road map. But together we can chart a trajectory that could lead you to better outcomes and a different destination then perhaps that you have been experiencing.

Feeling overwhelmed by the search for the right therapist? Life can get tough, and finding a counselor shouldn't add more stress. So, your relationship is not how you imagined it to be. You're disconnected and misunderstood. You thought putting in more work would help, but you’ve tried that, and it doesn’t seem to work. You keep thinking, “Do I stay or leave?” You can’t seem to decide because there used to be some really good days, and you hope there can be more. That’s the hope that keeps you. It just feels exhausting, and you don’t know if you want to do this anymore.

The relationship between a counselor and client is unique. I am a trained therapist who uses modern, evidenced based, therapeutic strategies and techniques and who is also outside of your daily life and social circles. My role is to listen to better understand you, to empathize with you without prejudice and judgment, validate your feelings (because how we feel is how we feel) and to help you develop strategies for overcoming life's obstacles. You cannot offend me in a therapeutic session and you can speak freely and openly about anything you think or feel, being free to express yourself.

Clients contact me when they are frustrated and dissatisfied with their personal or professional lives. I work with each individual or couple to find clarity for what is possible and then help them change the patterns that control them. I use multiple therapeutic modalities, from teaching self regulation techniques to Emotionally Focused Therapy. My goal is to deescalate conflict, address emotional pain and trauma, and set a course for healing. I encourage clients to take an active role in therapy while providing gentle, steady challenge. My approach to therapy has been deeply influenced by what my clients have taught me.

As an adult, you are beginning to realize that your childhood wasn’t “just normal”. You got away from total chaos in your family. Or maybe you left the church you were raised in. Or perhaps you have been rejected by past community for your sexual or gender identity. You thought you could just move on but you can’t. This experience has left you totally destabilized. It feels like anxiety and depression are tag teaming. You don’t know who you are anymore. You feel so alone. All of your friends who didn’t have this experience just don’t get it. At the very least you just want to feel normal but what even is that?

I’m a licensed mental health counselor specializing in treating individuals and couples for a variety of concerns, including anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, stress, and communication concerns.

As a trained Internal Family Systems therapist, I work with people who are open and ready for profound life changes through new perspectives, more successful, intimate connections in relationships, and an awakening toward how they perceive or define their sense of selves.
