Amy Neal, LPC

Amy Neal draws on a long background in education to support people navigating transitions and relationship challenges. With more than 16 years working as a teacher, coach, and school counselor, she brings practical experience in guidance and skill-building to the counseling room. Amy focuses on helping individuals and young adults in their 20s and 30s process emotions, build healthy habits and boundaries, and set clear goals for the future.

She believes that each person holds the strengths needed to create meaningful change, and she partners with clients to identify and apply those strengths toward a more fulfilling life. Her clinical approach weaves psychoeducation with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused techniques, and she may incorporate Animal Assisted Talk Therapy when appropriate. These methods are applied with attention to topics such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

Amy practices from a values-based perspective that honors each person's dignity and worth regardless of age, race, culture, gender, or sexual orientation. She aims to meet clients where they are and offers a compassionate, nonjudgmental listening presence to help them move through the therapeutic process. Amy holds the LPC credential, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor, indicating professional training and licensure in counseling.
