Approach

A desire for change often leads individuals to therapy. Dr. Neale establishes a safe relationship allowing you to feel heard, understood, and able to enact change in your life. Grandview’s approach is collaborative, insight oriented, and considers the impact of socialization on how you understand your identity. The practice’s treatment methodology and techniques are steeped in the fit between you and your provider, patient and therapist. By co-constructing this empathic and accepting space, you can work together with your provider to explore past and present concerns. Interventions, duration of treatment, and outcome is different for everyone. Dr. Neale believes change is rooted in relationships and identifying patterns that inhibit one from living a fulfilled life. Through examination of these patterns, the practice can help you develop alternative and more adaptive ways to manage stressors, connect genuinely with others, and enact meaningful advances in your life.

Dr. Neale’s current interests include concerns related to men and masculinity; the lived experience of marginalized peoples; mood disorders; relationship / family concerns; grief / loss; trauma; chronic pain and health psychology; and college  / graduate student mental health.

Dr. Neale’s training and professional experiences have, and continue to be, grounded in oppression theory and multicultural practice. His clinical and research specialization in social identity group membership and development informs every level of Grandview’s practice. Dr. Neale works with young people (age 16+), adults and older adults, and is inclusive of people of all races, genders, ethnicities, sexual orientations, abilities, socioeconomic-class backgrounds, and spiritual identities. As a White ally, Dr. Neale understands the unique challenges facing People of Color in predominantly White communities. As an LGBTQIA ally, Dr. Neale cultivates an affirming space that respects your fluid or fixed identity. Dr. Neale, and Grandview Therapy and Consulting as a whole, are committed to providing self-reflective and engaged treatment to individuals whose presenting symptoms, relational patterns and engagement are directly tied to cultural and systemic factors.
