Depression
Dr. Cheryl D La Rotta
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Ph.D, LMHC
Deep sadness and the 'heaviness' of depression are frequently the shadows cast by unresolved grief. My practice provides a clinical sanctuary for those navigating the profound emptiness that follows loss. By integrating Dr.-level psychotherapy with specialized Grief Recovery techniques, I help you move through the fog of clinical depression toward a place of meaning and renewal. We don't just talk about the pain; we use evidence-based tools to help your mind and body find their way back to the light.

Jenelle N. Ashley
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, MCAP, CCTP
Depression is more than simply feeling sad. The thoughts and feelings that can go along with depression can significantly impact our livelihood. Our sessions will focus on weakening the fusion with some of these negative thoughts that fuel depression while focusing on what's important, our values and committed action.

Depression
ClearPath Health LLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, EMDR, CBT, DBT, TF-CBT,
Depression doesn’t have to hold you back from what is most meaningful to you. Depression is very real to anyone experiencing it. If you or a loved one are currently depressed, then you certainly understand the pain and struggle it takes to make it through the day. The good news is that you can find plenty help. And if that professional help is using best practices, there is good reason to believe your (or your loved one’s) symptoms can begin to improve within weeks not years.

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.
