Men's Issues Therapists in Hannibal, MO

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.

Thank you for your interest. My ideal client is motivated for change and open to exploring more about themselves. I use a more direct style of counseling that heavily incorporates aspects of choice theory, reality therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy to help my adult clients make real changes in their lives. For children, I utilize evidence-based directive and non-directive play therapy approaches, depending upon the child's unique psychosocial needs.

Something’s not right, and maybe it hasn’t been for a while, but you know it’s time to make some changes. If you (or you & your partner) need help making that change, I’d be honored to work with you. I take a flexible approach, bringing thoughtfulness and creativity to the process to meet you where you are. Here are areas I help people with most often: anxiety & stress, depression, couples counseling (Gottman Method), trauma (Brainspotting), career counseling & life design, substance use & addiction, men's issues, life transitions, anger, mindfulness, and grief.

If you want a blunt and no sugar coating therapist look no further! Of course, I am honest with the intent of being kind and caring. The goal is to make the client a priority and implement self-care. Therapy is an investment and considered prevention for your own self-care needs. I have over 12 years experience, and worked in medical settings before that. I have experience in the medical health environment with a range of health issues from sufferers of heart attacks, stroke, women's & men's issues, and chronic illnesses. I implement an eclectic approach featuring CBT.

If you feel overwhelmed due to past trauma or an uncertain future, no matter the cause of anxiety, depression or psychosis, I am here to help you find the path to the abundant life you are after. I am available to work with children, teens, and adults. I can provide individual, couples, and group therapy. As social beings, I believe that all our relationships influence who we are and who we are to become. That is why I will focus on building a dynamic therapeutic relationship from the start. If this is what you are looking for, then you have found the right therapist. I specialize in men's issues, autism, and couples concerns.

Our world often stigmatizes needing support, but let's face it: no one gets anywhere without help! Change and growth come with challenges, and having the support of a genuine and compassionate therapist can make a positive difference. Whether you are experiencing a significant personal development, struggling to relate to others, or feeling stuck and looking for a change for the better, reaching out to someone trained to help is a critical step towards finding a way to live more authentically. As a therapist, I work with individuals & couples to create a space to process experiences and find a path forward to greater well-being.

I graduated from Maryville University with a Masters in Rehabilitation Counseling. Since that time I have become a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC) and Certified Reciprocal Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CRAADC). I have experience working in Residential Treatment, Outpatient Mental Health Treatment & Individual Therapy. I am confident that we can work together to improve your specific situation.

Relationships are difficult. I specialize in helping clients with their relationship issues, whether they want to stay in the relationship/ marriage or go their separate ways. I assist individuals, and couples in navigating the difficult decisions that lie ahead in their relationships. My expertise are in therapy, with high conflict relationships, and divorce counseling. Being trained in family law, allows me to help individuals navigate through Divorce Mediation for when couples must move on, prioritizing for their mental health and financial well being. I have 20 plus years of experience working in the mental health fields.

If you feel overcome by depression, anxiety or grief or if there has been a great change or the absence of meaning in your life, I can assist you. I have experience with all of these things and know that there is a path out of that place and into a place of peace and happiness. I can show you this path.

Couples often say to me - "We can't seem to communicate anymore. Why are we having such a hard time understanding each other?" Have you ever felt like this in your relationship? I can help you make the changes necessary to feel connected again as well as create a more hopeful future. We will work with your thoughts, feelings, and actions, in order to recognize and then disrupt your negative cycles of conflict. Then together, we will create new opportunities for increasing closeness. Ultimately, you will see what is not "working", learn "why", and begin to apply new strategies to bring safety and security back to your relationship.

I offer appointments from 4:30 pm to 9:30 pm to work with your schedule. I work to find the strengths people have within themselves. Individuals, couples, and families who are struggling with a variety of issues, including Anger, Depression, and Anxiety. Clients who benefit from my services appreciate my delicate sense of humor while confronting complex issues. The use of humor can be an uplifting experience in treatment.

Life is hard enough without having to go through it alone. No matter who you are or where you are from, my greatest wish for you at the outset is for you to recognize that we all have complications — we could all benefit from growth and healing. As we embrace these realities, we also learn to embrace all of the parts of ourselves, including those that most need our attention and affection. Make no mistake, the path to growth can be difficult. It involves equal parts frustration and exploration, and even a good dose of humor! But when we face ourselves, we may also find that the outcome is beautiful, rewarding, and even enchanting.

Through work with individuals aged teen through adulthood and couples in various differing relationships alike, I have developed expertise in areas like attachment, blended families, and depression and anxiety. I have a strong foundation as a caring and supportive counselor and aim to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives. I welcome the opportunity to have my skills challenged and strengthened through experiences and living life.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Missouri with over 15 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, families, and groups with a wide variety of presenting concerns. I have experience working in outpatient settings, residential treatment programs, psychiatric rehabilitation centers, and as an adjunct professor for the University of Missouri.
