Neil Steinert, LCSW
About me
Hi and welcome! I've been successfully providing therapy for over a decade. I specialize in therapy covering issues such as:
anxiety
depression
relationships
polyamory/non-monogamy/open marriages
confidence
gender-related issues
parenting
habits
PTSD/trauma
anger management and more.
The therapy models I use, which you may have heard of, are cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), attachment styles, and positive psychology. I also use principles from solutions-focused therapy, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness. I advocate for and work with the LGBTQ+ community. I am also an advocate of properly used plant medicines such as MDMA, cannabis, and psilocybin.
You can expect that we will work together to address the concerns that bring you to therapy. We will look at your innate strengths (because everyone has them) as well as other tools you may want to add.
On a personal note, I was born and raised in Utah. I made my way out to New Jersey in 1999, where I received my university education, started a family and have been living ever since. I've been through a divorce as well. My personal interests include vegetarianism, rock climbing, backpacking, yoga, and exploring the good eats of the area!
Looking forward to meeting you and working together!

Once enrolled in this website's services, you'll be able to message me. I will respond to you within 24 hours. Thanks again!!
