Chelsie Ciminelli
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Holistic Health Practitioner
I support individuals who struggle with body image, body dissatisfaction, self-criticism, or feeling disconnected from their bodies. Together, we explore the deeper beliefs and experiences that may have shaped the way you see and relate to your body, including messages about worth, appearance, acceptance, and belonging. My work helps clients move away from shame, judgment, and the belief that their bodies must look a certain way to be worthy, lovable, or enough. Through a compassionate, somatic, and trauma-informed approach, I help clients develop a safer, more accepting relationship with their bodies and reconnect with their inherent worth beyond appearance.

5 Years Experience
Online in Gainesville, FL
Gainesville is home to the University of Florida, one of the largest universities in the United States by enrollment, and the city's character and mental health landscape are overwhelmingly shaped by this—a huge, young student population with significant academic, social, and identity-related mental health needs, supported by one of Florida's most comprehensive university counseling systems. UF Health Shands Hospital provides one of the state's strongest behavioral health services, making Gainesville an important regional resource for psychiatric care across north Florida. The population dynamic creates a city that is both progressive and college-town oriented, surrounded by a more rural north Florida context, and therapists in Gainesville work across a wide range of populations and presenting concerns. Common therapy concerns include academic stress, identity development, anxiety, substance use, young adult life transitions, and the particular challenges of a college community navigating mental health support often for the first time.
