About Me
I am a mindfulness teacher and licensed clinical social worker who has a virtual private practice based in Boynton Beach, Florida and see clients who live in both Florida and New York. I use Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness (stress reduction) EMDR (trauma work), and Motivational Interviewing (the gentle process of setting and achieving goals), or any combination of these to help clients achieve their goals.
I have also worked as a high school counselor and college advisor in Queens, NY, as well as an addictions therapist in South Florida. Through my career and through my own personal experiences, I have developed a keen appreciation for how our pain and suffering develops as we grow, as well as how we can learn to free ourselves from this pain.
I have a master’s degree in education, concentrated in school counseling, and a master’s degree in social work. I have also trained under Pablo del Real of The Way Mindfulness Education in South Florida.
I’m a big fan of the New York Mets and Brooklyn Nets and like to watch and read anything related to horror, fantasy, and superheroes. I’m originally from New York and have lived in Florida for 8 years.

“Neil is not a one size fits all therapist. He uses non-traditional methods which helped me gain patience and a more open and peaceful mind.”

“I feel that the emotional baggage that I came into therapy with is much lighter now. I have gained valuable knowledge that has helped me to be able to recognize my negative emotions and better deal with them in a positive way. Overall, my relationships are better.”

Are you feeling anxious, stressed, and overwhelmed?
Are you finding it exhausting to even get out of bed? Are you feeling as if in a rut and don't know how to break free of this pattern? Anxiety can cause us to feel so stuck in life, like a ghost in chains. Aren't you just tired of feeling like your emotions are in charge of you?
You are NOT alone. Forty million Americans are affected by anxiety but most are unable to talk about it with someone who truly understands. The good news is that there is help. With a little work, you CAN learn how to feel more in control of your emotions and begin to feel empowered!
