Jennifer Neely
Psychotherapist/Psychoanalyst, LCSW, NCPsyA
With over two decades of experience offering psychotherapy, I prioritize creating a sense of safety and trust. I believe that therapy can embrace curiosity, nuance, and humor. Rather than an endless process, I work with each client to foster their self-knowledge and sense of autonomy in pursuit of mental and emotional wellness.

“Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It's a relationship between equals. Only when we know our own darkness well can we be present with the darkness of others. Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity.”
— Pema Chodron
