Approach to Care
Neka earned her master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Lynn University.
Her professional experience began in substance use and mental health treatment at the partial hospitalization (PHP) level of care. She subsequently worked in individual and group therapy, treatment planning, crisis intervention, and clinical leadership, including serving as a Lead and Primary Therapist.
Throughout her career, Neka has supported individuals navigating addiction recovery, complex trauma, mood disorders, and major life transitions. These experiences have reinforced her belief that effective therapy begins with trust, understanding, and a strong therapeutic relationship.
Rather than approaching therapy with a predetermined solution, Neka works alongside clients to explore their experiences, recognize personal strengths, and develop greater emotional awareness. She incorporates mindfulness and DBT-informed strategies to support emotional regulation while adapting the therapeutic process to each person’s needs and goals.
Her approach is grounded in empathy, cultural awareness, and respect for individual identity, including affirming care for LGBTQIA+ clients.
