When my husband and I moved to North Carolina, I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

My work is most often centered in acceptance and commitment therapy with aspects of narrative and person-centered therapies. I enjoy working with adults and couples and am willing to come along the journey with you. I live by an ethos to act justly, to love mercy, and walk humbly. I strive to reflect this in my therapy office. See you soon!

Welcome all! I am Jane McNeill, Licensed Clinician Mental Health Counselor and National Guard Military Spouse. I earned my Masters in Counseling at The University of NC at Pembroke and began my counseling career in 2014. I have been working in community mental health for the past several years and have experiences with children, families, and individuals with a variety of mental health and substance use concerns. I technically don't consider my job a career, more like a lifestyle. I do my best to practice what I teach. I am not a miracle worker and won't have the answers to all of life's questions, but I do vow to do my best to meet my clients where they are, not to ask anything of them that I wouldn't try myself, and to empower them to be the ultimate conquer of their own lives. My counseling practice foundation comes from a Mindfulness Mindset and I am actively working on my certification in Trauma Sensitive Yoga and plan to incorporate movement and physical body practices to help client’s reconnect the mind and the body in a therapeutic manner.
Hello, my name is Christi Conley, I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). I am also a Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist, Associate (LCAS-A). I graduated from Fresno Pacific Biblical Seminary with a degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. I have been working as a clinical therapist for over ten years now. I have worked for residential addiction treatment programs, community mental health, faith-based organizations, and private practice.
My primary focus is with couples or adult individuals who struggle with addiction, mood disorders, trauma, and/or compulsive behaviors. I take a systemic approach to treatment with the use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy and/or Solution Focused. I also offer spiritual integration and Christian Counseling to those who request it.
With a safe and secure setting, we can collaborate in finding healthier coping skills and practical tips for the challenges you may struggle with. Therapy offers the privilege to walk alongside others while they build strength in telling their own story. I offer therapeutic tools to help manage intense emotions and improve communication.
I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate and National Certified Counselor who earned my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Liberty University, graduating with high honors. I am currently completing a graduate certificate in Play Therapy at Capella University.
When working with children, I take a play-based approach, recognizing that play is a child’s natural form of communication. Through play, children are able to express emotions, process experiences, and make sense of their world in ways that words alone often cannot. Play therapy provides a safe and developmentally appropriate space for healing, emotional growth, and skill-building. I utilize evidence-based approaches including Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Child-Centered Play Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Play Therapy. I also received a certificate in sandtray therapy using the Oaklander Model.
With adolescents and adults, I incorporate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to help clients manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and increase mindfulness. I also draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address unhelpful thought patterns and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to support clients in developing psychological flexibility and living in alignment with their values.
I approach therapy through a trauma-informed lens and strive to create a compassionate, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment. I believe therapy should be individualized, and I tailor my approach to meet each client’s unique needs. I am also happy to integrate spirituality into the therapeutic process when desired. My goal is to help clients feel safe, understood, and empowered as they work toward growth and healing.
