Counseling for Gainesville Students and Healthcare Workers
Gainesville is built around the University of Florida and UF Health Shands, the area's two largest employers. That means a city full of students carrying heavy course loads, residents and nurses working long shifts, and researchers living from grant to grant. These are people who spend all day caring for others or chasing a goal and rarely make time for themselves. Refuge Springs Counseling provides mental health counseling in Gainesville, FL by secure telehealth, so a session can fit between a lab and a shift.
Our licensed therapists help Gainesville clients with anxiety and perfectionism, depression, burnout, ADHD in teens and adults, and trauma, including the hard things healthcare workers see on the job and carry home.
Our care is rooted in Biblical principles and backed by evidence-based methods like CBT and trauma-informed therapy. Couples juggling two demanding schedules can meet for Christian marriage counseling. We serve clients statewide by telehealth. Book online or call 850-789-8025.

Online Counseling in Gainesville, FL: FAQs
What Gainesville students, healthcare workers and families ask about telehealth counseling.
Do you work with nurses, residents and other healthcare workers?
Yes. Healthcare work brings long shifts, difficult cases and very little time to process them. Counseling gives you a confidential place to work through compassion fatigue, burnout and the moments that follow you home.
Can graduate and medical students get counseling with you?
Yes. We see students dealing with imposter feelings, perfectionism, exam anxiety and isolation. Sessions happen by secure video from a private space, as long as you are in Florida at the time.
Can I schedule around rotating shifts?
That is a big advantage of telehealth. With no drive, you can book sessions on days off or in the gap between shifts. Share your availability when you book and we will look for times that fit.
Do you have an office in Gainesville?
No. Our practice is based in Pensacola, and every Gainesville client meets with us by secure, HIPAA-compliant video, completely separate from your school or employer.
What does counseling cost?
$110 per individual session and $120 per couples session self-pay. Individual therapy is covered by many plans, including United Healthcare, Florida Blue (BCBS), Cigna, Aetna, Optum, Oxford and Oscar.
Can counseling help with perfectionism?
Yes. Perfectionism often looks like success from the outside while feeling like constant failure inside. Counseling with tools like CBT helps you loosen impossible standards, handle mistakes and rest without guilt.
