More about Neil

  • 13 years' experience
  • Male
  • LCSW

Hi and welcome! I've been successfully providing therapy for over a decade. I specialize in therapy covering issues such as:

anxiety

depression

relationships

polyamory/non-monogamy/open marriages

confidence

gender-related issues

parenting

habits

PTSD/trauma

anger management and more.

The therapy models I use, which you may have heard of, are cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), attachment styles, and positive psychology. I also use principles from solutions-focused therapy, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness. I advocate for and work with the LGBTQ+ community. I am also an advocate of properly used plant medicines such as MDMA, cannabis, and psilocybin.

You can expect that we will work together to address the concerns that bring you to therapy. We will look at your innate strengths (because everyone has them) as well as other tools you may want to add.

On a personal note, I was born and raised in Utah. I made my way out to New Jersey in 1999, where I received my university education, started a family and have been living ever since. I've been through a divorce as well. My personal interests include vegetarianism, rock climbing, backpacking, yoga, and exploring the good eats of the area!

Looking forward to meeting you and working together!

Regarding my AVAILABILITY posted on this site, I have more availability than what is posted. If you would like to schedule a session, please contact me so that I can make sure we get you scheduled appropriately into a time that works best for both of us. Once enrolled in this website's services, you'll be able to message me. I will respond to you within 24 hours. Thanks again!!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
