A named provider, not an anonymous referral
Meet the clinician who would provide your care
Before you choose a therapy, know who you would be working with and what to ask them.
Your referral destination
Artie Gately, LMHC
Achieve Growth Therapy lists Artie Gately as its clinician and Florida license MH22813 on its public website. The practice is based in Orlando and offers adults secure video sessions throughout Florida.
Read Artie's practice profile ↗ (opens in a new tab)What the practice says about its approach
The practice describes work with adults and young professionals on anxiety, trauma, depression and career stress. Its published approaches include EMDR, CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy and Schema Therapy. For EMDR, it describes starting with history and preparation before working on distressing memories.
Those are public service descriptions, not a promise that every case is suitable. During the consultation, ask what experience the clinician has with concerns like yours and whether online sessions are appropriate.
Ask about EMDR training, not just the label
EMDR appears on the practice's service page. This site has not independently verified a training certificate or specialist certification. Ask what EMDR training the clinician completed, what consultation or supervision supports their work, and how they assess readiness for memory processing. We don't use a certification title here.
Check the provider identity yourself
Use the Florida Department of Health license search (opens in a new tab) to look up the clinician's name or the published license number. Review the license type and current status. A general counseling license and a specialist training credential answer different questions.
Make the consultation useful
- “Have you worked with the kind of experience I want help with?”
- “What tells you that I am ready to start EMDR?”
- “What would we do if I become overwhelmed on video?”
- “How will we decide whether treatment is helping?”
You don't need to describe the experience in detail to ask these questions. A brief outline is enough to begin.
Looking for an office nearby? This referral is for online care from West Palm Beach, not a local office appointment. If in-person treatment matters, say so before booking.
