Overall, I am very satisfied with the services provided by Dr. Gayle at the FLOAAT Center. I have found it difficult in the past to feel understood and listened to by mental health professionals. I did not have this issue with Dr. Gayle, it felt like she really listened to me and was very professional before, during, and after my appointment. She made me feel at-ease and comfortable to be myself, which I believe is crucial to the testing process. She is very educated and keeps up to date with current research - another quality that I have found to be a rarity. She answered my questions thoughtfully.

“Thank you SO much! I am so much happier and better! I am able to look at book covers, watch movies, see scary stuff or throw up! I’m not scared to throw up anymore. I hope you are doing good. Thank you again! (I can also eat in the car)…Worry bully is starting to tell me stuff like if I don’t shut the door or touch something twice or if I turn on the light then something REALLY bad would happen. But now every time he says like if you turn on this light you’ll have something bad happen in 3 seconds, I just turn on the light and leave! THANK YOU!”

“Dr. Cindi Gayle provides an invaluable service and I have been more than pleased with her. She is very well regarded by other psychologists in the area for her expertise in ASD: particularly by those I have met at CARD and UF Health. When I asked for recommendations after my first screening concluded, she was the first and only name that came to mind from a receptionist at CARD. Dr. Jessica Payne-Murphy also endorsed her as being an excellent psychologist. “

“Highly recommend seeing Dr. Gayle if you are struggling with OCD. Her ERP techniques helped me SIGNIFICANTLY and she has provided me tools to help with the common/everyday anxiety symptoms that most everyone experiences. Caring, understanding, and professional are just a few words to describe Dr. Gayle. I’ve traveled from the Bahamas three times this year just to see her up in Gainesville...what more can I say, she’s awesome! 😎👍”

“Dr. Gayle was instrumental in diagnosing my child with ASD and a specific phobia. She was able to help us understand my child's symptoms, and what treatments are available. No other doctor we had seen had provided this clarity. This helped us get the right support and we've noticed marked improvements in just a short amount of time.”

“After trying many different Dr's, counselors, and therapists in our area, a friend told us about Dr Gayle. We travel 2.5 hours to see her and she is amazing with my 8 year old son (ASD, OCD, Anxiety). She has been, by far the biggest help to him and to us as a family. I litterally do not know where we would be right now without her help, guidance, and kindness!!”

“Dr. Gayle has been an absolute blessing in helping me treat my OCD/GAD for the past 4 plus years. Dr. Gayle’s use of cognitive behavior therapy/exposure and response prevention has allowed me to lead a more functional life. She has an extraordinarily high emotional IQ, which allows her to know when to push me and when to back off. It is without hesitation that I would recommend her to assist anyone suffering from OCD and in need of treatment.”

“Dr. Gayle helped me so much when it came to understanding and dealing with my OCD and co-morbid generalized anxiety disorder and depression. She's good at explaining things in different ways and bringing up different techniques to deal with issues. Very sweet, but she never gives you reassurance when it comes to what your OCD wants to hear. She is, however, encouraging and realistic. She'll sit with you in the trenches when you're working to get better. Lovely person, smart therapist.”

“Dr. Gayle has helped me so much over the years with my anxiety. She is so amazing at what she does! She is very professional, compassionate, and patient. She has also worked with my children and is just awesome with kids. She really knows how to connect with them, which can be difficult to find with a therapist. I highly highly recommend her!”

“Dr. Cindi Gayle has diagnoses and treats OCD, anxiety disorders, Autism, and more. Don't let her sweet face fool you. Yes, she is professional, patient, gentle, and compassionate, but she is also tough. She doesn't tell you what you want to hear. She tells you what you need to know, and works with you every step of the way. I cannot thank Dr. Gayle enough, and I highly recommend her for children and adults in driving distance of Gainesville, Florida.”

“Dr. Gayle used a team approach to test my child who had been tested previously but was referred to get updated testing because things were not going well. The evaluation was incredibly helpful and thorough. We received information that had not been discovered previously along with information to support my child at home and school. Highly recommend her services!”

“Dr. Gayle is super nice and easy to listen to because she breaks everything down so clearly and helps analyze with you clearly and compassionately and also helped me get my confidence back to where it should be. If I hadn't seen Dr. Gayle it would've taken longer for me to get better with my mental illness. 10/10 would definitely recommend.”
