“It turns out that ChatGPT was correct. The best way to find an open minded non--politically regressive therapist is to look for the keyword LGBQT. I am not LGBQT. But I needed someone who was not going to be silently judging me in the background, for my progressive views. Regardless of how much a therapist protests that none of that should matter. We all know that it can. Plus he has so many other facets. His financial background, music background, have been very helpful to me.”

Getting to know Neil Hopper
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially when you're carrying the weight of trauma, anxiety, or depression. If you've ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or wondered why it's so hard to move forward, you’re not alone. I’m here to support you in exploring what’s happened to you, not what’s "wrong" with you. I specialize in helping individuals work through trauma, manage anxiety, and find relief from depression. My approach is client-centered, collaborative, and compassionate. Therapy with me is a space where you can be real, feel seen, and start to heal. When you’re ready, I’m here to walk beside you.
My approach
My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and grounded in helping you move toward a life that feels meaningful and authentic. I’m a values-based therapist, drawing primarily from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you build insight, develop new coping tools, and take empowered action—even in the face of difficult emotions. I’m also certified in Brainspotting, a brain-body-based technique that helps people process and heal from deep-rooted trauma, especially when talk therapy alone hasn’t worked. I tailor each session to your unique needs and goals, creating a supportive space where you can explore, grow, and begin to feel more in control of your life.
My focus
Have you spent years carrying silent pain, pushing through for everyone else, while your own needs were left on the back burner? I work with adults—especially women in midlife—navigating anxiety, depression, and unresolved trauma, often from childhood or past relationships. Many clients have tried therapy before and felt unseen or unsupported. I offer a grounded, compassionate space where healing can begin through a safe and respectful connection. My goal is to provide comprehensive, compassionate care tailored to each individual's unique needs.
