Description
Hello, welcome. I’m Dr. Kristyn Neckles, a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with over a decade of experience supporting Black women and couples who are accomplished, capable, and quietly carrying more than most people see.
Many of the women I work with are doing “well” on paper; successful careers, leadership roles, caregiving, faith, community but internally feel exhausted, disconnected, or stuck in survival mode. Therapy with me isn’t about fixing what’s “wrong.” It’s about creating space to breathe, tell the truth, and reconnect with who you are beyond the roles you hold.
I believe resilience already lives within you. Not the kind that demands constant strength, but the kind that allows rest, healing, and becoming. My work helps clients move beyond simply getting through life and toward living in alignment; with their values, relationships, and authentic selves.
In our work together, you can expect warmth, collaboration, and gentle honesty. I integrate evidence-based approaches including CBT, ACT, Person-Centered, and Solution-Focused therapy to help you understand patterns, shift unhelpful narratives, and build tools that actually fit your real life. We connect insight with action; so therapy doesn’t just feel good in session, but supports meaningful change outside of it.
As an immigrant and woman of color, I deeply understand the complexity of holding multiple identities. My work honors the intersections of race, culture, gender, faith, family, and generational expectations. You don’t have to over-explain, code-switch, or minimize your experience here. This is a space where your full self is welcome.
My philosophy of healing is rooted in resilience; not as pressure to “be strong,” but as an evolving process of self-compassion, endurance, and growth. I’m inspired by the West African Adinkra symbol AYA, representing resilience and perseverance: the reminder that even after hard seasons, we can root deeper and rise again.
If you’re a high-achieving Black woman ready to slow down, heal old patterns, and build a life that feels grounded, aligned, and whole; I would be honored to walk alongside you.
