Therapists in Cedar Park, TX

Accepting New Clients as of March 2024! I have a heart for supporting children, adolescents, and young adults during challenging seasons of growth. I know that relationships are fundamental to the success of the therapeutic process, therefore building a safe and trusting relationship with my clients is essential. I view the therapy process as uniquely as I view the individuals and families I work with. I aim to customize my approach to meet the needs of each of my clients.

Are you having trouble connecting to your kids? Wondering who that teenager is that used to be your little toddler? Does your partner seem distant? Do you fight more than you used to and are thinking about throwing in the towel? Therapy can help you to answer these and other questions; from reconnecting with your children, discovering the person your toddler has grown into, rekindling the spark of joy in your romantic relationship, to making a fresh start together.

At Wellspring Behavioral Health, we provide counseling, psychological and neuropsychological testing, including individual and family services for adults, adolescents, children, and families in Austin, Texas. We are a group of professionals working with clients addressing a broad range of concerns. Dr. McNeely leads the group and works with a general population. In addition to counseling, she specializes in psychological and neuropsychological evaluation and diagnostic services.

I love working with adult individuals, couples, and family members who are looking to grow and heal in ways that emphasize their unique human experience and authenticity. This might look like someone who is trying to forge a new path after being stuck in a negative pattern like codependency or perfectionism. It may be a couple who wants to improve communication or deepen their emotional or sexual intimacy. It may be family members who are hoping to resolve past issues to create space for more authentic connection. I tailor my approach to fit my clients' needs while providing a warm, compassionate space for exploration and growth.

My role as a therapist is to facilitate growth and change by assisting my clients in realizing and exploring the primary concerns in their lives. My job is to help them get "unstuck," so that they can choose other ways to live. I offer tools that can help them communicate better, establish necessary and healthy boundaries, manage anger and fear healthily, and eliminate self-destructive and self-harming behavior. Most importantly, I offer assistance in improving the self, which can enrich and increase the joy in my client's lives.

Do you think nobody understands you, even your family and friends? You feel stuck in a repeated pattern of relationships. You may constantly try to prove your worth to others. I’m a licensed clinician in TX and VA. I have worked in the mental health field over 10 years. My professional interests are relationship trauma (romantic/ social/ family), grief and loss, self-criticism and identity issues. Using a holistic and intuitive approach, I can help you to bring more awareness to your childhood experiences, family origin, unconscious feelings and your current self. No matter what culture you are from, I'd love to hear your story.

Dealing with the weight of your emotions can be overwhelming especially if it's trauma. It's important to know that you don't have to face it all alone. These struggles can take a toll on your mental, emotional, and physical well-being over time, these struggles can be private or can affect your work and relationships. The good news is that together, we can work towards finding relief and healing. I believe in a collaborative and supportive approach, where you have the power to determine the goals you want to achieve. By increasing clarity and developing coping strategies you can create a more enriching narrative in your life!

Many struggle with shame, envy, and the “what ifs” that cause stress in our day to day lives. We feel pressure from the internet to “have more, be more, do more.” We can dismantle those beliefs, build ourselves back up, and be kinder to ourselves. I do my best work with men, individuals, and couples looking for a direct, "down to earth" style that helps create a comfortable space to discuss your therapy goals. My couples work includes learning to regulate emotions, respond with compassion, and understand your partner's needs and desires.

Trauma? Infidelity? Desire personal growth? Letting go of unhealthy or destructive ways of thinking - even when we know they aren't working - can be difficult and hurtful. With support, however, even the most challenging issues can be explored and addressed to help create a clearer path to the life/relationship you choose. Every person comes to therapy with a beautifully unique cultural background and personal history. I celebrate these individual differences. Ask about my specialized training for treating trauma! I am also a Board approved Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor in Texas.

Anxiety, depression, and relationship strain are all signs of change trying to happen. Often fear holds us back from challenging ourselves and our relationships. What we need is security, loving acceptance, and healthy curiosity. You may fear that you are stuck, that your partner will never change to meet your needs, or perhaps you are predestined to being unhappy or alone. I help people create relationships where they are comfortable enough to grow. It's through authentic relationships that we find the strength to dream big. Together we can find deep and meaningful connection and insight, find joy in our tears, trust, and grow.

I understand that taking the step to begin therapy is a brave and powerful moment. It can be filled with mixed emotions of anxiety, fear, excitement, anticipation, among others. This is completely normal! I will work with you to help you feel at ease and create a safe space to help you feel more comfortable. However, everyone is unique regarding when they feel safe to be vulnerable in a therapy space, and I respect that of my clients. Therefore, I will meet you where you are at on your journey, and we will go at your own pace.
