The stories we carry deserve a safe place to be told.
LiveWell Gainesville is a private therapy practice where you are met as a person, not a diagnosis. Five experienced clinicians. One quiet office on Gainesville’s west side. Care built around your voice and your choice.

You’re in a safe place
It is your story. We are here to support you as you write your next chapter.
We work from a person-centered, empowerment perspective that honors who you are and the power of your own voice. Whether you are 13 or 83, whether this is your first time in therapy or your fifth try at it, you will be received with warmth, without judgment, and at your own pace.
Our clinicians use EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral, and Humanistic approaches, matched to you rather than applied by default.

How it starts
Reaching out is the hardest part, so we made it the easiest.

A free 15-minute call
Tell us a little about what is going on. Ask anything. We will tell you honestly whether we are the right fit, and who on our team would be.
-
Your first visit
We review your expectations, your rights, and what matters to you. Together we take stock of where things stand and map out your goals.
-
A plan that is yours
Weekly or as-needed, in person or by telehealth. Therapy at LiveWell moves at your pace, toward the life you actually want.
The first step is a conversation, not a commitment.
Every new patient starts with a free 15-minute call. No forms, no pressure. Just a chance to ask questions and see whether we are the right fit for you.
