Prof. Robert Neve, LPC

Prof. Robert Neve, LPC brings 22 years of professional therapy experience and believes that the first requirement for effective care is genuine concern for the person sitting across from him. He views caring as his greatest asset and the central mission of his work - to help others pursue healthier, more fulfilling lives.

He is credentialed as LPC, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor, and is licensed in Nebraska as an independent mental health practitioner (NE LIMHP 1287). That combination of clinical training and state licensure supports the breadth of issues he addresses in practice.

He and his wife, who is also a therapist, are happily married. In 2022 they moved to Saint Pete, Florida to fulfill a long-held dream of living by the beach, after years in Omaha where he operated a successful mental health and substance abuse treatment center in the Dundee neighborhood. Prior to his 22 years of professional practice, he accumulated eight years of recovery experience in AA and NA, and he has been drug-free, alcohol-free, and reports being free of depression and anxiety since February 15, 1993.

Prof. Neve works with a wide range of concerns including addiction, depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, stress, career and coaching work, eating and sleeping struggles, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. He also draws on experience with purpose discovery, business development, investing mindsets, real estate, and faith-informed relationship building. He completed a significant personal health change, losing 85 pounds with Weight Watchers, and often integrates practical, experience-based strategies into his work.

Respect for each person’s choices is fundamental to his approach. He assumes people have made the best decisions available to them with the resources they had, and he offers new resources and perspectives without judgment. His practice aligns with the principles and techniques of Motivational Interviewing and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), and he aims to provide respectful, sensitive, and compassionate care. Seeking a fuller, happier life takes courage; he focuses on encouragement and asking the right questions to help people move forward.
