About Shaheen P. Neil, LAC
Licensed Associate Counselor
Self-discovery and insight can spark meaningful change toward the life you desire. Therapy offers new perspectives that support growth, build hope and resilience, and help break unhelpful patterns, thus allowing you to navigate challenges with greater freedom, self-acceptance, and clarity.
My integrated approach to therapy includes psychodynamic and interpersonal psychotherapy, mindfulness, cognitive and behavioral therapies, as well as targeted interventions and skill building. My practice is specifically tailored to optimize the treatment plan goals for each individual’s emotional and behavioral needs.

Experience
I have worked with a variety of client populations, but am currently focusing on adults (18+), older adults (55+) and couples.
I have a special interest in women’s issues related to hormonal changes, infertility, postpartum depression, pregnancy loss, caregiving and social connection.
I believe that progress can be achieved within a short-term therapy model. My training is based in Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Therapy practices and Dialectical Behavior Therapy interventions.
By using an integrated approach within a trauma-informed care framework, we can collectively work together to address your mental health needs.
