Why Choose Us?
Let’s Get to Know Each Other
Hi I’m Dr. Kirleen Neely,
I’m the CEO of Neely Counseling Center (NCC) and one of the primary therapists. I started the center over twenty years ago because I wanted clients to experience a different style of therapy – One that leaves behind the stereotypical therapist advice for more down-to-earth, relatable conversations. The combination of solution-focused tools, a little coaching, and a whole lot of compassion paid off! We’ve been able to help over 30,000 clients stop overthinking, let go of anxiety, and boost confidence. I’ve trained all NCC counselors to use my same philosophy/approach. Our signature method is called The BackStory Breakthrough Method™. We help you break negative life cycles by going to the root of how they started and teaching you concrete tools to break the cycle.
We Offer, In Person, Virtual and Telephone Counseling
How We Get Things Done
CBT/DBT
- CBT (cognitive-behavioral therapy) and DBT (dialectical behavior therapy) are two forms of psychotherapy.
- It is structured, goal-oriented and focused on the present.
- Starting with education, learning skills, and focusing on emotional and social aspects – CBT/DBT was developed to help people cope with extreme or unstable emotions and harmful behaviors.
- CBT/DBT is great for anxiety, self-esteem, and depression.
Narrative Therapy
- Narrative therapy helps separate a person from their problem.
- Encouraging people to rely on their own skills to minimize problems that exist in their lives.
- Personal experiences become personal stories, which bring meaning to life and shape identity.
- Narrative therapy uses the power of personal stories to help people discover their life’s purpose.
- This is often done by assigning that person the role of “narrator” in their own story.
Solution Focused
- Solution Focused therapy is a short-term goal-focused evidence-based therapeutic approach
- It incorporates positive psychology principles and practices
- These help clients change by constructing solutions rather than focusing on problems.
Expressive Arts
- Expressive arts therapy is a multimodal approach to therapy which may incorporate writing, drama, dance, movement, painting, and/or music. Sometimesincluding meditation and mindfulness as well.
- People utilizing expressive arts therapy are encouraged by a therapist to explore their responses, reactions, and insights through pictures, sounds, explorations, and encounters with art processes.
- A person is not required to have artistic ability to use or benefit from expressive arts therapy.
Group Therapy
- Group psychotherapy is an effective form of therapy in which a small number of people meet together under the guidance of a professionally trained therapist to help themselves and one another.
- There are many different approaches to group therapy, but they share in common creating a safe, supportive, and cohesive space to address personal, relationship, and societal issues.
