Lakeisha S. McNeil

My communication style

I understand that the therapeutic alliance is extremely important to move through the therapy process. I strive to develop a rapport and establish connections with my clients by creating a warm, non-judgmental environment where clients feel supported and heard throughout the therapy process.

My journey to mental healthcare

I discovered that I was blessed with the gift to instill hope in others, and being a therapist allows me to utilize my gift to help others find hope in very difficult times. It is an honor to come alongside my clients to provide the guidance and support needed to achieve the happiness and solace they desire.

My goals for you

Goal setting is done collaboratively based on clients' interests and not the interests of the therapist. I make it a priority to check in periodically to assess clients' assessment of their progress toward their desired goals.

Our first session

During the initial session, my main focus is to ensure that you feel comfortable. I explain the therapy process, my approach, and review documents. I allow time for you to tell your story with as much or as little detail as you feel comfortable. At the end, we address any concerns and discuss follow-up.
