Positive Psychology Therapists in Louisville, KY

I enjoy working with all client types, but take a particular interest in working together with women to help in the process of building and furthering their individual level of internal strength, confidence and empowerment. Working with family systems, parenting coaching, and partners dealing with divorce or separation is also a passion of mine.

Is life feeling like too much to handle? Are you struggling with your own emotions or in your relationships? As human beings in a fast-paced modern society, we all face daily challenges and stressors. Some of us can navigate these issues on our own and others require a bit of professional support. I encourage clients to view therapy as a journey we embark on together. I have experience working with clients of all ages, and I welcome anyone who is looking to explore ways to improve their quality of life, whether it is due to life transitions, relationship conflicts, past trauma, or managing emotional challenges.

The most common form of suffering I see in people is when they no longer trust themselves. If you are struggling with habits that are harmful; whether it be drug or alcohol addiction, eating or spending money in harmful ways, there is hope that you can trust yourself again. Suffering comes in many forms, but for all in pain there is a way to heal and to feel safe again. My job is to help you find that.

Sometimes life can be hard. We can get trapped living in the problem rather than the solution. Let's work together to make the changes you want. Although I enjoy working with all client types, my specialty is in substance abuse and codependency. I particularly enjoy working with adolescent and young adult males who are struggling with "failure to launch" issues as they make the transition to becoming responsible adults. My motto is "people will not care how much you know until they know how much you care." Building a positive client/therapist relationship sets the basis for growth.

CURRENTLY, WE ARE NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. Are you ready to live, love and lead abundantly, but is seems as though 'something' is hindering you from living a life filled with joy, peace and happiness? Has a series of unfortunate life event(s) or toxic relationships resulted in you feeling 'weighed down'? Is your adolescent experiencing behavioral issues in school and at home? Does your relationship need a serious 'double dip' of enrichment? Do you feel as though you are at a crossroad in your personal, professional, emotional or spiritual life?

Life is too short to suffer with emotional pain and feeling lost from ourselves. I recognize how difficult it can be to open up and share details about ourselves. I believe my clients deserve to be treated with empathy, respect, warmth, and patience without judgment or shame.

I have many years of experience working with early childhood trauma and severe, persistent mental illness, varying from ages of 5 years to 70+. My goal is to empower and advocate for positive change within you, as the individual, and the system as a whole. The place that we will create together is a safe and judgement free space. I work through an Existential foundation, to help those I work with seek meaning and purpose, with skills built from experience with Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Cognitive Behavior Therapy, all within the context of a trauma-informed approach.

I specialize in dealing with issues regarding relationship stress, sexual challenges, sexual orientation, gender identity, communication, life transition, depression, anxiety, hopelessness, problem solving, conflict resolution, divorce, and loss. I really enjoy working with LBGTQIAP, Consensual Non-Monogamy, and Kink Relationships and Individuals. I would be honored to work in a collaborative fashion with you to foster growth and change through individual, relationship, premarital, marital, divorce, or sexual therapy.

I am Cadence Gazo, a Licensed Professional Art Therapist Associate and Trained EMDR Therapist dedicated to guiding and supporting people of all ages on their journey toward healing. I believe in the healing power of creative expression and a holistic approach. It can be difficult to put words to our visual experiences and emotions, especially when trauma has occurred. Expressive Therapies and EMDR can help us to connect these and bring fragmented parts of ourselves together. My goal is to facilitate a space in which you can process the difficulties of life, strengthen resiliency skills, overcome and heal from trauma, and thrive.

Self compassion is vital for change. My goal is to help you master this difficult skill to help support you in loving and being your best self. With over thirteen years in the mental health field and almost a lifetime of focusing on personal growth, I have learned the hard way that no change comes without having a positive relationship with yourself. If you are willing to commit, I can help you develop that relationship with yourself and alter any unhealthy thought, behavioral, or relationship patterns that are keeping you stuck. Together we can tap into your intuition, use your strengths and cultivate skills needed for growth.
