Working with
Karena Neace

I'm dedicated to helping people heal, grow, and connect with who they truly are. At my core, I'm a person who believes in authenticity, curiosity, and the quiet magic of creating a safe, cozy space where you can simply be human... without judgment.
Because of that, I show up to work as my genuine self: compassionate, grounded, sometimes a little nerdy, and always fully present. I believe that therapy should feel like a conversation between equals, where you're truly seen and supported but also challenged at just the right level. I draw from a variety of approaches - CBT, somatic practices, mindfulness, and more - blending science with heart to meet your unique needs.
Whether you're navigating through a tough chapter, exploring your identity, or simply feeling stuck, I'm here to help you move forward - at your pace, on your path - and help you feel more connected and empowered in your choices and inspired by your own growth.
