💚 Hall Goes Green for Mental Health Spotlight 💚

A special thank you to Thrive Gainesville Counseling for participating in Hall Goes Green for Mental Health for their second year!

Led by Joy Kelleher, a social worker, consultant, international speaker, and founder of Project Yet, Inc., Thrive Gainesville Counseling provides trauma-informed, holistic care for children, families, couples, and individuals. Joy brings extensive experience in trauma, advocacy, and human trafficking prevention and is a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, Certified EMDR Therapist, and specialist in anxiety treatment, somatic psychotherapy, and neuropsychotherapy.

The practice also includes Maria G. Ibarra, a bilingual therapist providing compassionate, culturally responsive, trauma-informed care to individuals and families, especially underserved and Spanish-speaking communities. As a bilingual provider, Maria understands the unique barriers many face, including immigration-related trauma, mental health stigma, language and cultural gaps in care, and the challenges of navigating between cultures. Her goal is to create a healing space where individuals feel seen, heard, respected, and empowered.

Thank you, Thrive Gainesville Counseling, for bringing healing, hope, connection, and accessible mental health support to our community! 💚
