So you are looking for a therapist and possibly wondering “why should I choose this therapist over any other?” Good question. Once you’ve found a therapist with a solid background in what you want to address, it is all about therapeutic approach and personality fit (the elusive rapport). In our initial introductory conversation (15 minute call) you can tell me about what you are looking for, I'll tell you about myself, and we’ll see if I am a fit. Note: I am only providing tele-therapy at this time.

Are you struggling through a big life transition? Have you experienced a death, a loss of a loved one, pregnancy, or pet, or are facing a scary health diagnosis? These events can cause a great deal of stress and grief. Having a safe space to talk and feel supported can make a big difference. Times of loss and transition can also present unique opportunities for growth and new ways of living your life. Sometimes, in fact, it can be the catalyst for a deeper and fuller life. You might not see that potential now, but you can get there. Let me empower you on this journey.

Discomfort prompts us to seek change. This feeling may come from an old problem or from old pain that seems to follow you through the years of your life. It may also come from a new problem that has caught you by surprise or left you feeling stuck. Maybe you just feel drawn toward your potential to improve the quality of your life in some way. Together we will tailor the course of counseling to meet your needs and your goals. I strive to create an environment that provides warmth and humor in order to provide the comfort required to address life's difficult problems.

My mission as a therapist is to empower and inspire you to 1) form a bold, honest vision of what you really want, whether in work, school, relationship(s), or your life as a whole; and 2) make it real. This may mean overcoming psychological roadblocks like anxiety, depression, ADHD, or trauma. It may also mean casting off unchosen burdens and thinking in new, unconventional ways about what you really want and why. Regardless of what sorts of dragons you need to slay, I will provide an arsenal of science-based tools and an endless supply of moral support to help you fight your chosen fight - and to remember why it's worth it.

Therapy offers a framework to expand what is possible within ourselves, within relationships, and within the context of painful realities. I collaborate with individuals to explore difficult topics with curiosity, grieve what is impossible to change, and invite new possibilities. Over time, this process can encourage the development of new patterns, a deeper connection with self and others, the discovery of more meaning, and greater health overall.

Does your 3-7 year old child have aggressive behavior, nightmares, unhappy relationships, say scary things or seem to get in trouble a lot? I can help you understand their inner experience, respond to behavior, & feel reconnected. This big world confuses little kids who are helplessly adjusting to major life events like death, accidents, relocations, hospitalization, crime, divorce and more. And parenting is exhausting work. You wonder how to teach them or what to ignore. I believe behavior is communication & kids who feel good, do good. I embrace paradoxes: facilitating change, but not fixing people. Structure and freedom.

The sexual part of your life is not where you want it to be and you are desperate for change. You and your partner are worried that something might be wrong with you or your relationship. You don’t know where to go for help. This sexual issue is keeping you from being happy and you and/or your partner are depressed and anxious all the time. You think about this all the time. You feel like you don’t know enough about sex and you certainly don’t know how to solve this problem, even though you have tried. No one taught you how to have a healthy and positive sexual identity, so how are you supposed to know how to fix this?

Being an adult, millennial, or college student can be difficult to navigate in today's world. The constant push + pull of managing work opportunities (or lack thereof) and the hardship of relationship satisfaction can create feelings of anxiety and/or depression. You may appear to have it all together in your life; however, it's common to feel the pressures of juggling your work life with things such as high-functioning anxiety, today's dating culture, people-pleasing struggles, and managing stress. I work to create a warm, authentic, and safe place for you to discuss your concerns.

We will collaborate on goals and the path to get you where you want to go.

I DO NOT conduct child custody evaluations or other evaluations for family court.

Jennifer Neill specializes in helping individuals navigate life with the challenges of change. Jennifer understands communication can be difficult and assigning meaning to feelings is an important component of healthy communication, but is often difficult in the moment! Personality differences compounded with anxiety, depression and/or trauma, can further complicate an already stressful time. Jennifer believes that “manipulation” is a maladaptive way of getting needs met and that trust building or re-building, is an important component of change.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
