Kathy Neily

“If you’re looking for a therapist that’s compassionate, non-judgemental and truly dedicated to her client’s wellbeing Kathy is your person! Through the years her skills and expertise in areas such as anger management, individual and couples counseling along side the utilization of IFS in her work have been of great value to me. Her warmth and genuine insights have been pivotal to my own personal growth and healing.”

“I wasn’t quite sure how our couple’s session would go. We’d been having the same argument for 20+ years. Kathy helped us to see where each other was coming from. We both felt heard, acknowledged and respected. Kathy was completely impartial and gave us tools to communicate with more respect and understanding.

Thank you, Kathy!”

“As a straight heterosexual man, entering couple’s therapy comes with some suspicion and anxiety. Even for someone who has been in individual therapy for years. My experience with Kathy Neily was enlightening on many levels the first of which is that very quickly in our first session I felt my trepidation and concerns melt away. I felt like an equal and did not feel as if she and my partner conspired or were ganging up on me.

​

Kathy didn’t only want to hear my side of things, she validated my experience with real empathy and compassion. Even when I expressed some vulnerabilities, even anger and anxiety. That was huge for me to trust the process.

Her insights into my behavior, my partner’s behavior and the dance we do as a couple was invaluable. I didn’t feel judged or that I was doing anything wrong even when looking at how I contribute to the dance of dysfunction with my partner.

 

She creates a safe space. But she also strips away a lot of noise and gets right to the heart of the matter. She’s straight forward, no nonsense and yet very understanding which is a unique and surprising set of qualities.

I very much recommend her for couples work.”

“Working with Kathy has brought meaningful, positive, and lasting change in both my personal and marital life. With her experience and skills, she helped me navigate many tricky situations and helped me break free of limited perspectives that made me feel ‘stuck’, shifting to more open perspectives that enabled me to move forward with joy and enthusiasm. Beyond her technical skills, her whole vibe is a model of warmth and acceptance that one cannot help but try to imitate, and in so doing, become a better and happier person.”
