Welcome to Growth & Resolve Counseling

"I have been working with Neave for the last few months now, notably on issues related to past trauma and navigating family stressors. In my time with Neave, I have sincerely appreciated her compassion, warmth, and flexibility. I had been out of therapy for over a year by the time we met for our initial appointment and was admittedly nervous to put words to my recent experiences. Neave was welcoming and eased me back into the therapy process so seamlessly. As we determined that EMDR would be the most useful course of treatment, I was initially nervous about this process. As such, there were a few times in which it was difficult for me to make some sessions, which ultimately led to me asking if we could delay EMDR in an 11th-hour call one evening. I was very nervous about Neave’s response, but she ultimately assured me that we could take treatment at my pace and move forward with that part of the process when I felt ready. This was such a meaningful turning point for me in our relationship, as Neave made it clear above all that she would be here to guide me through the process when I was in a better state to begin, adjusting to talk therapy in the interim. After having met with Neave for a few weeks after this decision, I now find myself feeling more confident about my ability to take on EMDR with her help. The level of trust we have built in our therapeutic relationship has been a major source of comfort for me in this work at this time in my life. All that is to say I have very much appreciated Neave’s approach to our work and willingness to be flexible with me as I have navigated some very difficult things. She is a gem in our field and I feel fortunate to be working with her!"
