Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Gainesville, FL

I believe every person has the capacity to heal, grow, and create meaningful change. I earned my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University and bring experience working with individuals, couples, adolescents, and families from diverse backgrounds. As a bilingual counselor, I provide therapy in both English and Spanish.

I specialize in helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, trauma, grief, life transitions, betrayal and infidelity, self-esteem challenges, and stress. I also enjoy supporting couples who want to strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and deepen emotional connection.

My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you feel heard, respected, and empowered. For clients who desire it, I can thoughtfully integrate Christian faith into the counseling process while welcoming individuals from all beliefs and backgrounds.

Great to meet you!

I'm a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with experience in the mental health psychiatric field ranging from child and adult outpatient care to substance abuse treatment. I received my Bachelor of Science in Nursing at Ohio University and Master of Science in Psychiatry from St, Thomas University in Miami, FL.

I’m Dr. Madeline Michel, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with nearly 20 years of nursing experience and more than 13 years of experience as a nurse practitioner. I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree from the Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing at Florida Atlantic University and hold three board certifications as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, Family Nurse Practitioner, and Gerontological Nurse Practitioner through the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC).

Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of caring for individuals across the lifespan in a variety of clinical settings. My professional background includes psychiatry, substance use disorders, cognitive disorders, and neurology. I previously practiced as a neurology hospitalist nurse practitioner at several hospitals throughout South Florida and as a cognition-specialized Gerontological Nurse Practitioner at the Louis and Anne Green Memory Wellness Center, a state-designated Memory Disorder Clinic. These experiences have given me a broad understanding of the relationship between mental, cognitive, neurological, and physical health.

I’m a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who provides compassionate, personalized care for adolescents and adults. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood concerns, stress, and life transitions, with a special interest in men’s mental health. I believe mental health care should feel collaborative, comfortable, and free of judgment. My goal is to help you better understand what you’re experiencing and find a treatment approach that works for you.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, especially when you're carrying anxiety, depression, mood changes, or emotions that seem difficult to manage on your own. I believe everyone deserves a space where they feel heard without judgment and supported through life's challenges. Whether you're navigating ADHD, bipolar disorder, anger management concerns, trauma, grief, relationship struggles, identity questions, or simply feeling stuck, my goal is to help you better understand yourself while building the tools you need to move forward. I work with both adolescents and adults, recognizing that every stage of life brings unique experiences and obstacles. Together, we'll create a supportive, collaborative environment where you can explore what's weighing on you, discover your strengths, and work toward meaningful, lasting change at a pace that feels right for you.

I’m a board-certified Family Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and former Navy Corpsman with over 20 years of medical experience. My background spans oncology, ICU, and community mental health, which allows me to care for clients across the lifespan—from children to older adults—with a well-rounded, compassionate perspective.

I take a holistic, patient-centered approach, focusing on truly understanding your unique needs and goals. In addition to treating conditions like anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and mood disorders, I offer advanced treatment options such as Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT), hormone therapy, and ketamine infusion therapy for those who haven’t found relief with traditional approaches.
