Therapists in Gainesville, FL

Welcome to Wolcott Counseling

Most clients come to us because of personal issues they can’t seem to resolve. They may have anxiety, depression, relationship pain, unhealed trauma, or they feel disappointed about how their life is unfolding.

Others might be struggling with identity, religious trauma, new parenthood roles, or the feeling that they have no community. Many also suffer from a distorted view of themselves, unsure of how to make a meaningful change in their lives. They may not even believe that they deserve happiness to begin with. If you are going through something similar, therapy can make all the difference.

Who we are…

A welcoming and inclusive practice, dedicated to your growth and healing.

Who we help…

  • Looking for guidance in their relationships
  • Seeking to recover from past trauma
  • Feeling stuck in life
  • Struggling with anxiety, OCD, burnout, depression, identity, or religious trauma
  • Worried about themselves or family members
  • Embarking on something new and need sound, non-judgemental advice
  • Ready to explore what it takes to live in a grounded and healthy way

ER

“I have always found myself calmed by Jenny’s presence. She is just someone who is easy to talk with and shows incredible empathy and understanding. Everything that I bring to Jenny to talk about is met with a balance of understanding, open dialogue, and ideas to move above and past what is dragging me down. I would recommend seeing Jenny to anyone who is seeking a balance of kindness and action based work in a therapist.”

 We offer

Therapy Services We Offer

Wolcott Counseling is committed to providing a safe space for clients to explore identity, heal trauma, and grow. We welcome and affirm people of all ages, backgrounds, professions, gender identities, or gender expressions. Additionally, our sessions can be tailored for children, adults, couples, entire families, and more. Telehealth therapy is available in California, while Florida residents can choose between in-person or telehealth appointments.

Services

Individual Counseling

Individual therapy is a journey you take with a skilled and compassionate therapist to gain crucial insight, experience support, and reduce emotional and physical symptoms. Our mental health advocates will help you heal and nurture the most important and longest relationship you will ever have: your relationship with yourself.

Services

Group Therapy

We function in groups as a society, yet there are often unspoken rules about connection and communication that confuse and hurt us. Group therapy is a safe place to get authentic feedback and learn how you’re perceived by others, how you interact with others, and how to develop communication skills that help your relationships.

Services

Couples Counseling

Despite its importance, many of us were taught very little about what it takes to help a relationship thrive. Couples therapy is a safe place to examine conflict, disappointment, and personal needs while developing communication and listening skills that allow you and your partner to hear and be heard. Great relationships require work, but the investment is worth it! 

Services
