Therapists in Louisville, KY

Life can be confusing, stressful, and overwhelming. A good therapist can create a comfortable, collaborative space to help you explore obstacles and strengths and find your stride in a chaotic world. My goal is to give you a place where you can foster self-awareness and learn to access the resiliency that can help you move forward. I see how insecurities and conflicts in interpersonal relationships can cause anxiety, and I'm compelled to help people resolve these issues. We are much more than our problems. Everyone deserves the ability to express themselves and feel more connected to themselves and others.

Welcome! I have extensive experience working with clients who have experienced significant physical, verbal and emotional trauma and abuse. I also have had the pleasure of supporting clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, interpersonal conflict, relationship/ family issues, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and PTSD, among other issues. I want to help clients to process their past, then work to set and achieve goals for the future they envision. I enjoy helping my clients find freedom in living the life they love.

Finding the right therapist can be a time consuming and costly process. Many people have tried medication management or traditional talk therapy- yet nothing has worked. The question isn't why treatment hasn't worked, but what is stopping or preventing the healing process? What's getting in the way of the natural healing response? If you've been seeking a new way to help manage your symptoms, psychedelic-assisted therapy may be a fit for you. To heal, one needs to be in a healing state, not in an activated stress state. Just because therapy hasn't worked in the past doesn't mean it can't work for you now. Don't give up just yet

Are you unhappy? Does it feel like your family or your relationship is falling apart? Do you feel unsure of yourself? We've all been there-- faced with a difficult task or dilemma and unsure how to proceed. Sometimes the help of a neutral, objective professional can make all the difference. I can help you uncover the obstacles holding you back that will help you turn your goals into realities. My ultimate ambition is to help you find a sense of peace and happiness.

I am Cadence Gazo, a Licensed Professional Art Therapist Associate and Trained EMDR Therapist dedicated to guiding and supporting people of all ages on their journey toward healing. I believe in the healing power of creative expression and a holistic approach. It can be difficult to put words to our visual experiences and emotions, especially when trauma has occurred. Expressive Therapies and EMDR can help us to connect these and bring fragmented parts of ourselves together. My goal is to facilitate a space in which you can process the difficulties of life, strengthen resiliency skills, overcome and heal from trauma, and thrive.

Do negative self-thoughts keep you from accepting yourself or achieving accomplishments? Have you struggled with feelings of shame? Are you tired of past experiences, including trauma, dictating how you approach life & relationships today? Are you critical of yourself? Have you been stuck on an artistic endeavor or project? Are you ready to break through to a new athletic level? Is fear holding you back? By shifting how you view and talk to yourself, you can achieve these goals and much, much more. I work with teenagers age 14+ and adults & am particularly invested in the healing of members/families of the LGBTQIA+ community.

I work with couples and individuals who need a systemic perspective on how problems interact in relationships. Then, with my specialized lens, I am able to help clients get “unstuck” after years of no or low quality sex, desire discrepancies, medical issues that create disconnection, and pent up frustrations between partners. I am skilled, humorous, direct, honest, and loving with my clients. And I’m a welcoming, justice oriented, creative thinker who does not judge and is willing to walk alongside you through it all: fear, trauma, doubt, shame, guilt, sadness, and dark nights of the soul.

I have an eight-week waitlist. I recognize that going to counseling can be intimidating, and it is also an important first step in making life changes that you can't seem to make on your own. Are disappointment and hurts a regular part of your life? If you have difficulty standing up for yourself, or if you are waiting for your life to happen, then I encourage you to call. I have 30 years of experience with couples, co-occurring disorders, and EMDR experience. I feel honored that my clients have chosen to walk this life journey with me and welcome your call.

I specialize in providing research-based treatment to adults with a range of struggles, including trauma/post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), eating disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), substance use disorders, and anxiety disorders. In order to help individuals reach their treatment goals, I use evidence-based interventions and measure progress using short assessments. Furthermore, I recognize the importance of providing genuine warmth and caring to all clients to promote their own self-compassion, acceptance, and growth. “The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change” – Carl Rogers.

Taking the first step toward your own healing or help for your teen can feel overwhelming, but with the right support it doesn't have to be. I strive to create a safe, welcoming, and person-centered environment for each of my clients. My goal is to walk with you on this journey, empowering you or your teen to feel confident in making positive changes.

No matter what has brought you to therapy, your experience is valid. I believe that even the most unlikeable, confusing, extreme parts of you have a wisdom to be understood, a protectiveness to be thanked, and a vulnerability to be seen and heard. In my practice, I will seek to meet you exactly where you are, and together we can tend to the unique challenges in your life. My ultimate goal is for clients to uncover their essential self—to rediscover their own innate wisdom and strength that can face whatever life brings. We will work together to create a life where you feel more aware and in charge of your journey.

Seeking clarity? Therapy can allow you to identify and remove blocks inhibiting change, help you make more intentional choices by offering deeper awareness of your perspective, and/or help you construct coherency or a different view of issues that are plaguing you. While I enjoy working with clients of varying backgrounds and ages (and all are welcome in my practice), I specialize in working with those who are suffering from anxiety, trauma, complex trauma, sex- and sexuality-related concerns, and who are aged 15+. You can expect me to be observant, empathic, professional, ethical, responsive, and LGBTQ+ affirming.

I also strive to make mindfulness skills more accessible for people who struggle with sitting still.

I take a collaborative approach to therapy through which I assist you as you raise your self-awareness, build on your strengths, and cultivate authenticity in your life. We will explore all aspects of what is influencing your well-being including your thoughts, feelings, relationships, societal and institutional influences, and your place in the natural world. My primary goal is to create a safe and accepting environment where you can fully express yourself, take emotional risks, and reach your full potential. All worldviews are welcome in my office.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the expectations of personal or professional roles? Do you find yourself numbing, hiding or avoiding feelings or painful/uncomfortable situations? Maybe, you have a family member caught in destructive patterns and it's impacting your life? I'd love to help you change unhealthy habits, transform your thoughts, and reconnect with your true self. Together, we can work to replace pain with self-love, change unhealthy patterns, and find healthy ways to deal with life's stressors. I have a strong background in behavior modification strategies, sustaining change, mental health-related issues, and addictions.
