From childhood abuse and sexual violence to combat and sudden loss, my approach is designed to settle the overactive 'fight-or-flight' response. If you feel stuck in a loop of past pain, let’s work together to update your internal blueprint and restore your mental and emotional peace.

Gainesville, Florida therapist: Jenelle N. Ashley, counselor/therapist
Trauma and PTSD

Jenelle N. Ashley

Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, MCAP, CCTP
Trauma can leave you feeling disconnected, on edge, or unsure why certain emotions or reactions show up so strongly. You may notice patterns like shutting down, feeling overwhelmed, or avoiding situations that once felt easy. These responses aren’t flaws, they’re learned forms of protection that made sense at the time. In therapy, we work together to understand these patterns with clarity and compassion. My approach is steady, supportive, and paced to your comfort. We focus on helping you feel more grounded in your body, more present in your daily life, and more connected to yourself. You don’t have to revisit every detail of the past; instead, we explore how those experiences show up now and build healthier ways to respond. Healing is possible, and you don’t have to navigate it alone.

Gainesville, Florida therapist: Dr. JD Wright, psychologist
Trauma and PTSD

Dr. JD Wright

Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist
When working with trauma I pull from EMDR, somatic approaches, and parts work. A primary goal of the work is to reduce shame and self-judgments, and for you to feel like you can understand and provide compassion to yourself. Through those processes, trauma can be transformed and your experience of yourself and those around you naturally reshaped.
