As a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist (CBT), I primarily use logic and humor to inspire healing and change. I have a deep appreciation for working with thoughts of all varieties. Many of my clients have experienced isolation, fear, and anxiety, as well as hearing and seeing things that others do not. My goal is to provide a comfortable and supportive environment to give you relief and hope.
I utilize collaborative problem-solving and creative approaches to the healing process, aiming to make therapy not only a pleasant experience but also one that produces results rather quickly. I have a unique ability to explain concepts through metaphors, making new ideas easily integrate into your everyday thinking processes. With over ten years of experience working with individuals diagnosed with severe mental illnesses, I have honed my skills to best serve my clients in private practice.
I am proud to offer a range of services, including individual and family sessions, group therapy, and intensive programs, to help you find balance during challenging life experiences and after a crisis. You can learn more about my approach and treatment modalities in the "My Approach" section below.
As a special offer, after your first session, if you decide that you no longer wish to continue therapy with me, your session will be complimentary. There is no obligation to return if you choose not to continue therapy.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
"I was overjoyed to learn that Anahata Neuman was going to be setting up a local therapy practice, specifically working with patients suffering from psychotic disorders. This has been a huge missing in our community, as traditional therapists often struggle to work with these patients. After referring some patients to Anahata, I realized that she is able to meet people where they are, whether it be trying to stay out of the hospital, or trying to manage a mentally ill family member, or destigmatizing a diagnosis. She works effectively with all types of patients, from those who experience paranoia and auditory hallucinations, to those who have mood instability and problems managing life's stressors. Her ability to adapt and not pathologize behavior allows patients to quickly connect with and trust her. She is flexible and genuinely caring, it is effortless for her, because it is clear that this is who she is. And with this kind of approach, as she says, "Healing happens." - Dr. Jonathan Tallman MD, Psychiatrist.
"Anahata and I collaborated together at a crisis residential house where people felt extremely vulnerable having just been released from a psychiatric hospital.
While working together I came to realize that Anahata strives to treat all people with the dignity and respect they deserve. She works to empower her clients to be connected and understand themselves, so they can be in charge of their health and wellness. Using empathy, she helps her clients to feel safe, to feel understood, and to ultimately feel like they can make progress.
During our work together, she demonstrated time and again that she is an empathic, compassionate, and dedicated professional with absolute integrity. She can provide a diagnosis if necessary, but she does not let the diagnosis define her work with a client.
She has the insight and knowledge to help her clients work through highly vulnerable feelings or memories in a safe and therapeutic way that will not be re-traumatizing. She genuinely wants to help her clients work through difficulties in a non-pathologizing, deeply respectful, collaborative process in which people experience their innate capacities for well-being."
