How do you work with clients with trauma and PTSD?
I approach trauma and PTSD with compassion, patience, and an understanding that healing happens at each client's own pace. My first priority is creating a safe, trusting therapeutic relationship where clients feel supported rather than overwhelmed. Together, we work to understand how past experiences continue to affect thoughts, emotions, relationships, and daily life. I use evidence-based approaches such as EMDR, CBT, mindfulness, and emotion regulation strategies to help clients process traumatic experiences, reduce distressing symptoms, and develop healthier coping skills. Throughout therapy, I focus on building resilience, restoring a sense of safety, and helping clients move forward with greater confidence and self-compassion.
I work with men, women, adolescents, and couples who are navigating relationship challenges, trauma, emotional overwhelm, or a desire for deeper self‑understanding. Many come to therapy wanting support in building resilience, improving communication, or finding clarity in moments of transition. I offer a grounded, validating space where clients can explore their experiences and reconnect with their strengths. I specialize in trauma work, emotional regulation, and relationship dynamics. I use CBT, mindfulness‑based therapy, EMDR, and tools from the Gottman Method and EFT to support individuals and couples. My approach is flexible and collaborative, helping clients heal, grow, and strengthen their sense of purpose. I know how hard it can be to carry things on your own or feel unsure about your next step. In our work together, you’ll have a space where you’re seen, heard, and supported as you explore what’s been weighing on you.

How do you work with clients with trauma and PTSD?
I provide a safe, supportive, and trauma-informed environment where clients can process difficult experiences at their own pace. I understand that trauma affects each person differently, so I tailor treatment to each client's age, needs, and goals. With children and adolescents, I work closely with caregivers to strengthen emotional support, improve communication, and help create a sense of safety both at home and in therapy. Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and strengths-based interventions, I help clients understand the impact of trauma, develop healthy coping skills, regulate difficult emotions, and gradually build resilience. My goal is to empower clients to regain a sense of control, strengthen their confidence, and move forward with greater hope and emotional well-being.
Mya McNeil is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who is passionate about helping children, adolescents, and families thrive. She believes every child deserves a safe, welcoming space where they feel heard, understood, and supported. Mya partners closely with children and their families to strengthen communication, build healthy coping skills, and foster emotional growth both in and outside of therapy. As an Afro-Latina therapist, Mya is committed to providing compassionate, culturally responsive care that honors each client's unique experiences and strengths. Her approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and tailored to each individual's needs. She integrates evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and solution-focused therapy. In addition to her work with children, teens, and families, Mya also enjoys working with adults seeking support through life transitions, stress, anxiety, and personal growth.

How do you work with clients with trauma and PTSD?
I take a trauma-informed, compassionate approach that prioritizes safety, collaboration, and respect for your pace. Trauma can affect how we relate to ourselves, our bodies, our relationships, and our sense of safety in the world. Together, we work to understand how past experiences continue to impact the present while building practical tools for emotional regulation and healing. Depending on your needs, I integrate evidence-based therapies, sex therapy, and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) to help process traumatic experiences, reduce symptoms, strengthen self-compassion, and support lasting recovery. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, empowered, and connected to yourself and others.
I am a licensed clinical social worker, certified to provide ketamine-assisted psychotherapy and an AASECT-certified Sex Therapist. I bring a trauma-focused perspective to all of my work and pull from a mix of evidence-based treatments depending on client need. My specialties are in sex therapy and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy. My experience providing sex therapy includes treatment for the following conditions: desire discrepancy in couples; low sex drive; ED, PE, vaginismus, vulvodynia, recovery from sexual trauma, erotic recovery and emotional healing after an affair, negotiating boundaries within monogamy, the development of a polyamorous agreement, out-of-control sexual behaviors and kink-affirming care. I am so excited about ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP), which I provide in partnership with prescribers through Journey Clinical. While nothing is a magic cure, I have been amazed and inspired by the rapid improvement I've seen in my KAP clients' lives.

How do you work with clients with trauma and PTSD?
I work with trauma and PTSD in a thoughtful, paced, and highly individualized way. My approach begins with creating a sense of safety, trust, and emotional stability, especially for clients who may have spent years functioning well on the outside while carrying significant pain internally. Together, we explore how trauma may be affecting your nervous system, relationships, sense of self, emotional regulation, and ability to feel present in your life. I draw from evidence-based approaches such as EMDR, Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy, and other trauma-informed methods to help clients process painful experiences without becoming overwhelmed by them. The goal is not simply to revisit the past, but to reduce its emotional charge, restore a sense of control, and help you move forward with greater clarity, resilience, and inner calm.

How do you work with clients with trauma and PTSD?
When working with trauma and PTSD, I focus on creating a safe, supportive, and steady therapeutic relationship. Trauma can affect the mind, body, emotions, relationships, and sense of safety, so healing often begins with helping clients feel grounded and more in control of their nervous system. I work at a pace that feels manageable for each client. Together, we may explore trauma-related triggers, painful memories, emotional responses, and the ways past experiences continue to affect present life. My approach is trauma-informed and compassionate, helping clients process what happened without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. The goal is to reduce distress, rebuild a sense of safety, and support clients in moving toward healing, confidence, and greater emotional freedom.
My goal is to listen, understand, and collaborate with you to address your concerns and help you achieve your personal goals. Each of us has our own story and sources of pain, and together, we can explore the root causes of your challenges with care and curiosity. I aim to create a non-judgmental and supportive environment where you can feel safe, understood, and empowered to work toward deeper understanding and lasting change. My approach is warm, collaborative, and culturally sensitive. I support clients in exploring the emotional patterns, life experiences, relationships, and stressors that may be contributing to anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, or feeling stuck. Therapy is not about judging where you are; it is about helping you understand yourself more clearly and build healthier ways of coping, communicating, and healing.

Treatment is tailored to your unique needs and may include evidence-based approaches that help process traumatic experiences, reduce distressing symptoms, strengthen coping skills, and support emotional healing.

I am the Founder and Owner of Aloe Integrative Psychology Group, where I provide compassionate, relationship-centered care rooted in curiosity, empathy, and respect for each person's unique story. My path to psychology was anything but traditional. I began my academic journey studying English Literature, drawn to the power of stories and the ways people make meaning of their experiences. Later, I worked as a cross-cultural educator in Brazil, where I developed a deeper appreciation for human connection across diverse backgrounds and perspectives. At Aloe Integrative Psychology Group, I strive to create a thoughtful and collaborative therapeutic space where clients feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood. My approach integrates evidence-based practices with a deep respect for each individual's lived experience, helping clients navigate challenges, foster self-understanding, and move toward meaningful and lasting growth.
