Kathleen Nealon

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

Welcome!
As a therapist, I see my role as one of accompaniment, which is walking with an individual during a difficult time in a person’s journey. My work is to listen well and do my best to understand a person’s situation so that I can be a supportive presence, empowering the individual to move towards a greater sense of well-being. Since one size does not fit all, I draw from a variety of theoretical approaches and strategies based on the needs, preferences, and personality of the individual as well as my understanding of best practices. Some of the approaches I draw from frequently include psycho-dynamic, systems, solution-focused, cognitive behavioral, and motivational interviewing. In general, my approach emphasizes the therapeutic relationship, is strength-based and trauma-informed.

For more than 12 years, I have had the privilege of working with people of all ages, from many different cultures and socio-economic circumstances. I’ve accompanied young mothers, people living on the streets of New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, women, children and young adults in transitional housing due to homelessness, people in various stages of the (addiction) recovery process and hospice patients and their families. I have lived and worked cross-culturally spending a total of five years in Haiti. My undergraduate degree in special education, as well as my experiences and training, have prepared me well to accompany individuals who learn differently, think differently or are wired differently than the average person. Many of the people I have worked with have experienced trauma in its many different forms including natural disaster, oppression due to economic and social injustice, domestic violence, and various forms of abuse. I have worked successfully with people desiring a supportive presence during a life transition or loss as well as those who have struggled with multiple major challenges for much of their lives.

If you are seeking a compassionate therapist to walk with you at this time in your life journey, I invite you to contact me to determine if I am the therapist for you. Whether you choose to work with me or another therapist, I wish you the best as you journey toward greater healing and wholeness because your life and happiness are important.

With 12 years of experience, she accompanies people through difficult life moments, offering attentive listening and steady support to help individuals move toward greater well-being.

Her practice is trauma-informed and strength-based, and she adapts interventions to match each person’s needs, preferences, and style rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.

Throughout her career she has worked with clients of all ages and from diverse cultural and socio-economic backgrounds.

Her undergraduate degree in special education and subsequent training prepared her to work effectively with people who learn or think differently. Many of the individuals she has supported have faced trauma from disasters, social and economic injustice, domestic violence, or other forms of abuse, and Kathleen has worked with both those seeking support during life transitions and those managing long-standing, complex challenges.

One major benefit is flexibility – clients can choose the format that suits them best, whether that is video sessions, phone calls, live chat, or in-app messaging. This versatility makes it easier to fit regular therapy into a busy life and maintain continuity of care.
