Kimberly Neal

Kimberly Neal, LMHC, LPC, brings 19 years of experience in clinical mental health practice licensed in Florida and Georgia. Her work blends psychodynamic, behavioral, and humanistic principles with a trauma-informed orientation. She uses techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Behavioral Activation, Person-Centered work, therapeutic confrontation, reality testing for psychosis, mindfulness and relaxation training, role-playing, and education on play, exercise, and nutrition to support long-term self-care habits.

Neal has worked with people across the lifespan, from childhood through late adulthood, and with clients from diverse racial and socioeconomic backgrounds. Her practice includes work with LGBTQ clients, individuals involved with corrections in prison and probation settings, child-welfare involved persons, people with autism, those living with severe and persistent mental illness, and individuals managing health-related disabilities. She addresses concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, ADHD, oppositional defiant behaviors, and substance use with dual-diagnosis considerations.

Her approach centers on helping clients explore their experiences, develop coping strategies, and pursue acceptance, change, or letting go of barriers that interfere with personal goals. Sessions aim to combine insight, practical skills, and collaborative planning tailored to each person's circumstances.
