Janine Neale, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Janine!

I approach my clients with compassion, understanding, and just enough of a push to help you get the life you want.

My focus

I am comfortable treating anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and life and work stress.

My approach

I focus on helping you rewire and rewrite the past. Many current issues stem from past events that get stuck. By increasing your awareness and understanding, you can be more intentional in your present and make needed changes. I use creative therapy tools based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused approaches.

My communication style

I like a collaborative environment that is warm and engaged. I like to be involved and talkative, and help clients get out of their heads and open up.

My journey to mental healthcare

People are fascinating, and I can see the best in them. I want to help people feel valued and that they matter.

My goals for you

Having goals and focus is paramount. I want you to feel you are getting what you need out of our sessions. I will often check in on progress and ask what I can do differently, and if we are covering what you want to be working on.

Our first session

You will leave your first session with tools and insight, as well as a plan for our work together. I know your time is important, and I want you to feel you are getting what you need from your sessions.
