At some point in life we all encounter a challenge, struggle or obstacle that may cause us to stumble or fall short of our dreams or expectations. We have a difficult time discerning the next step we should take and are confused by the many different opinions and influences of others. It is in these times that help from a professional counselor may be in order to aid in getting back or getting to the life we deserve. My name is Roshanda Neal and I am passionate about helping you to become victorious as you strive towards living your best life.

I have a particular interest in working with veterans, diverse peoples of trauma, geriatrics, and integrated health care. The ideal client is full of surprises and motivated to explore the limits of their potential. S/he will cross-examine, wholeheartedly endorse, and bring into the open what has yet to be uncovered. S/he will personalize what they notice/receive and share candid feedback on how to keep existing or try out new habits. S/he will utilize the available time to make use of what's keeping them stuck.

Our weight-obsessed culture chastises and shames you, as though your body size is not only a personal moral failing, but a reliable indicator of poor health. Over time, you started internalizing this anti-fat bias, and often treat yourself with the same level of contempt. You either avoid seeking medical care altogether, or expose yourself to the risk of weight stigma (far more harmful than any presumed adverse effect of your weight itself). You forgot how to nourish yourself – sometimes forbidding yourself food, sometimes isolating in shame for a binge, sometimes "paying" via purge. But friend, you are meant to bloom - not shrink.

Do you feel misunderstood? Do you have trouble communicating? As a Marriage & Family Therapist, I help couples and individuals turn their relationships around for the better. We work on speaking and listening techniques, using "I" statements, setting boundaries and other relationship skills. We use videos, personality tests, role plays and other tools to bring about rapid change. What sets me apart from other therapists is my ability to keep clients on a systematic approach to change with a focused, short term program to help them to create satisfying, healthy relationships and build the kind of life they want and need.

Whether you and your partner are dealing with a lack of intimacy, frequent miscommunication, or are simply preparing to take the "next step" in your relationship via marriage and/or parenthood, we all experience moments when we could use an empathetic ear. The honesty of someone who is able to both challenge and support us may be all we need to achieve our relationship goals. I love collaborating with couples in a compassion-filled process influenced by Gottman Couples Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy. With each couple, I work to create a safe and welcoming space for clients to bring their whole selves to session.

It is easy to feel overwhelmed and lose one's sense of True North. Issues and experiences from the past may require healing and integration. Current challenges may require more inner wisdom and resourcefulness than we can access on our own. Many people need support to resolve conflicts, deepen connections and expand their lives. Relationships require a solid sense of self, good boundaries, and compassion toward oneself and others, which all can be learned. Even without a religious affiliation, spiritual practices such as gratitude are often enriching. I value new insights, suggest homework and teach practical skills.

I have a unique ability to work with individuals of all ages to get rid of character flaws, self-esteem issues, and maladaptive behaviors that you may have carried around for years. Whether you're a teenager, young adult, or middle aged person, there are many who have something they don't like about themselves but are afraid to deal with or don't know how. As a practitioner and coach who has aided others for years, I have a unique ability to engage and build rapport because of my past issues with self-esteem, self confidence, by utilizing my lived experiences as well as my professional training and active intuitive listening.

Having a safe place of support and connection to unload burdens goes a long way. It is exhausting to explore more about yourself, others, and your world when you are not feeling heard unconditionally. I am here to walk with you in a judgement-free, yet honest journey toward emotional safety. I am here whether you face anxiety, hard relationships, stress, or family tension.

Life is filled with times of transition and times of change. This couldn't be more true than for the life of an adolescent or young person. Personal identity questions, family issues, the pursuit of healthy friendships, and an overwhelming desire for acceptance are all par for the course. In these moments, walking alongside a young person is critical. After 2020, we have all been carrying a good amount of stress, and the burdens of anxiety & depression weigh heavily. I desire to listen intently to the hearts of my clients, especially the hearts of adolescents and young people. Let us walk through the valleys of life together.

I am a bilingual therapist/life coach who is passionate about working with individuals who have been traumatized by past abusive relationships. To begin the healing process, I empower my clients to discover the root causes of their issues. I encourage them to reframe unhealthy thought patterns and beliefs. I also educate them on the importance of establishing healthy boundaries. My clients conclude treatment with actionable strategies and skills that support their overall wellness.

My ideal client would be a middle-aged woman struggling with depression and anxiety and grieving the loss of a child, husband, or a close family member. I would start by assessing her needs and using the Beck depression inventory scale and the Beck depression anxiety inventory scale. I would use grounding techniques and CBT, such as scheduling activities, positive affirmations, and psycho-education on depression and anxiety. I would also encourage journaling, writing five things for which they are thankful daily, and writing letters to the deceased person.

You have had days that make you feel like switching off the sun, crawling underneath your skin, and checking out from this catastrophic cantankerous world. You have been emotionally shipwrecked by life, fragmented by negative experiences, and you feel broken beyond repair. Yesterday was too much, today you're drowning in the sea of despair; and, tomorrow should not see the light of day. Existing feels like too much to ask, survival seems impossible, and you're thinking, "I can't do this..." Maybe you can't, but we can, and we will. You may feel alone, but you are not alone. You may sway and bend, but you will never break.

In my 5 years of counseling experience I have had the opportunity to work with a wide variety of individuals, families, and groups. I have had the privilege to work with many children and have experience with ADHD, autism, emotional regulation, and PTSD. I have also lead youth groups focusing on the building of social and coping skills which have included working on the art of conversation (putting down the devices), and anger management. I have worked with families identifying conflicts and working on strategies to better manage children. Additionally I have experience with relationship counseling, divorce, anxiety and depression.
