Welcome!
As a clinical social worker, I know mental health care is a critical part of building a fulfilling life. It can feel really vulnerable taking the first step towards this work but I firmly believe asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Throughout my career I have worked with people navigating challenging stressors from a traumatic event to adjusting to a new job. I continue to focus on adults working through these experiences and difficulties managing symptoms of anxiety and depression.
Hi, I'm Mary. I work with individuals 16+ struggling with anxiety, depression, and eating disorders. I have over a decade of experience in the mental health field, with specialized training in trauma, crisis intervention, and eating disorder treatment.
I am a licensed mental health counselor in New York state. I completed her master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling at Molloy College. I have over 13 years of experience working in the field of human services and mental health. I have worked closely with adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities. I am known for my resilient spirit and ability to provide unconditional positive regard.
Life can often feel like a series of overwhelming transitions, leaving you feeling disconnected or unsure of your next step. I provide a dedicated space for adults (22+) to slow down, reflect, and move forward with renewed clarity.
Whether you are navigating the complexities of trauma, managing a mood disorder, or facing significant life changes, my goal is to help you transform "feeling stuck" into a journey of intentional growth.
How We Will Work Together
My approach is relational, honest, and depth-oriented. Rather than just addressing surface-level symptoms, we will explore the unspoken beliefs and past experiences that quietly shape your daily life. By learning to listen to what your emotions are communicating, you can begin to respond to life’s challenges in ways that promote genuine healing and authentic connection.
Specialized Support for Couples
In addition to individual therapy, I specialize in marriage and pre-marital counseling. I help couples at all stages build resilient foundations, repair emotional disconnections, and foster a deeper sense of intimacy and mutual understanding.
**Please note: While I accept insurance for individual therapy, all couples counseling is private-pay only. Insurance does not cover relationship-focused therapy.
Your Journey Starts Here
You deserve a space where you are fully seen, heard, and empowered. No matter where you are in your journey, I am here to support you in creating meaningful, lasting change.
Hello and welcome! I believe therapy should feel supportive, practical, and human. I work with individuals, couples, and families who may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, stuck in relationship patterns, or unsure how to move forward. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard and understood while also helping you build tools you can use in your everyday life.
My style is warm, collaborative, and down-to-earth. Together, we may work on understanding patterns, managing stress, improving communication, setting healthier boundaries, processing emotions, and strengthening your connection with yourself and others.
I work with teens 16 years+ and adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, identity questions, trauma, ADHD, and self esteem struggles. Many of my clients come to therapy trying to understand themselves better and figure out why certain patterns keep showing up in their lives.
As a parent and therapist, I understand how life experiences, family dynamics, and past challenges shape who we become. Clients often describe me as open minded, supportive, and empowering. I aim to create a space where you can be honest about what you are going through while also feeling encouraged to grow and move forward.
Hi, I’m Alexis! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Georgia with several years of experience helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, life transitions, and challenging family or relationship dynamics.
My experience includes community-based care, inpatient psychiatric hospitals, nonprofit organizations, residential treatment, and private practice. I use evidence-based approaches including Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and trauma-informed, attachment-based, and IFS-informed interventions.
I earned bachelor’s degrees in Psychology and Religion, a Master of Social Work, and a Certificate in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Georgia. I am currently completing my Doctorate degree and also serve as a part-time Assistant Professor, helping prepare future social work professionals.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Gainesville
Searching for therapists in Gainesville starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. You may be looking for care related to anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or a major life change. As you compare Gainesville therapists, look for specialties listed in their profiles and note the care approaches they use, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, or trauma-informed care. A therapist’s bio can also show how they structure sessions and what you can expect from their style.
In a smaller city like Gainesville, the number of local in-person offices may be more limited than in larger Georgia markets. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still connecting you with a licensed Georgia therapist. You can also narrow your search by appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and scheduling fit in one place.
Therapy in Gainesville can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose between virtual and in-person care when available. You can browse therapists in Gainesville, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
