Dr. JD Wright
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist
My approach is grounded in an understanding of the impact of trauma, recognizing that our struggles always exist in the context of our environments and histories. I weave mindfulness and positive psychology into our sessions, aiming not just for 'okay,' but for a life that feels truly meaningful and fulfilling. Trained in clinical hypnosis, EMDR, ACT, and CBT, I bring a diverse toolkit to tailor our sessions to your unique needs.
I see our time together as a collaborative space, where your feedback and active participation shape the path to your well-being. There's no one-size-fits-all in therapy—I believe in finding the approach that resonates best with you and addresses your specific concerns. Let's embark on this journey towards positive change together.

Chelsie Ciminelli
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Holistic Health Practitioner
I believe that the work we do with others is deeply influenced by the work we are willing to do within ourselves. My own healing journey has profoundly shaped the therapist I am today. I have experienced my own process of moving through old patterns, becoming more deeply connected to myself, learning to listen to my body and intuition, and discovering that healing is not about becoming someone different. It is about coming home to who we truly are. I consider myself both a therapist and an intuitive healer and guide. I bring my clinical training and professional experience together with a deep trust in intuition, the wisdom of the body, and the idea that there is often more happening beneath the surface than what we can immediately see or explain. I pay attention not only to what you tell me, but also to what I sense may be asking for attention within the therapeutic space.
My hope is that you feel deeply seen, heard, and accepted when you are with me. You do not need to have the right words, understand exactly what is wrong, or arrive with everything figured out. We can begin wherever you are.
I feel honored to walk alongside people during some of the most vulnerable and transformative chapters of their lives. I don't see myself as someone who has all the answers, but rather as someone who can help you listen more deeply to your own inner wisdom and reconnect with the parts of yourself that already know the way forward.

Thoughts Feelings Behaviors Health Services
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
My goal is to help people when they feel like they need a neutral, educated, opinion. I have found that when we feel as if we don't have an answer to our problems, talking to a therapist helps. I take this advice and seek a therapist when I feel stuck. when we have stress at work or home, It can often compound to other areas such as relationships, sleep, and health. Bringing balance back to one area can help to find relief in all the other aspects of our lives. Mental disorders can often complicate this process but with proper care, health and happiness can be achieved by everyone. it is my goal to provide that for my clients.

Jamie Roach
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, MDiv, NCC
Life is hard—and when we dare to really live, it can leave us overwhelmed, exhausted, or quietly hurting. I don’t believe this means something is wrong with you; I believe it means you’re human. Whether you’re longing to feel more at home in yourself, struggling in a relationship that matters deeply, or navigating a season of transition or loss, therapy can offer a steady place to pause and make sense of what you’re carrying. My work with individuals, couples, and families is grounded in presence, honesty, and compassion, helping you reconnect with the wisdom, strength, and love that already live within you. Sometimes we don’t need fixing—we need a trusted guide and a safe space to remember who we are. If you’re here, it tells me you’ve been open, and openness often comes with wounds. I would be honored to walk alongside you as we gently explore your story and open new possibilities for peace, clarity, and a more fully lived life.

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.
