Amy Neal, MA, LCMHC

My clients describe me as:

I balance teaching practical skills for the here and now with exploring past experiences, how they affected us & contributed to negative core beliefs.

Something to know about my approach is:

We will focus on reprocessing & rewriting the unhelpful life scripts that may be holding you back in life. The goal is to make room for you to enjoy the present without unwanted memories, worries, or emotional sneak attacks interrupting your days.

Together, we will:

Identify & reframe negative thoughts & beliefs about yourself, others, & the world that hold you back from living fully. Learn skills to manage intense emotions that seem to hijack your nervous system out of nowhere & keep you on edge. I offer EMDR.

I specialize in working with people who:

Want to sort through childhood experiences and/or trauma, want to unlearn unhealthy relationship patterns & learn adaptive ways of relating & communicating. I help people understand how cultural & generational dynamics affect life & relationships.

I became a therapist because:

The journey through life can be tough but you don’t have to navigate it alone. Together, we will work together to discover purpose, meaning, and hope.

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

I offer Online Counseling for individuals in North Carolina. I find that online counseling is convenient, accessible & just as effective as in person.

More about me and my practice:

I am fluent in Spanish, raised in Mexico in a bi-cultural Guatemalan/American family. I offer Christian counseling for those who are interested, but people of all walks/faith are welcome. Visit my website for more info & to set up a consultation.
