Né McNeal

I am a Licensed Social Worker and I practice interpersonal psychoanalytic psychotherapy, which means I learn about you by examining your relationships while gaining insight as to how you relate to the world and yourself. My approach to therapy is rooted in harm reduction, intersectionality, and awareness of systemic oppression.

I have special interest working with the LGBTQIA2S+ population, trauma survivors, couples, neurodivergent individuals, and those who are struggling with substance misuse.

My education includes an undergraduate degree in Visual and Critical Studies from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and a master’s degree in Clinical Social Work from the University of Chicago. Before becoming a psychotherapist, I worked for nine years in an expressive art studio for intellectually disabled and neurodivergent adults.
