Meet Neeley Owner, Therapist & Clinical Supervisor

I have always known this is what I was meant to do with my life ....

Neeley, owner of Coastal Wellness and life coaching center, standing with her husband, Andy smiling and embracing each other.

Hi there !

 

My name is Neeley and I am the owner and a therapist here at Coastal Wellness. Thanks for taking the first step by looking at our website. It can be overwhelming trying to find the right therapist for you and your needs and I hope learning a little more about me will help you decide if I am a good fit. 

 

My approach to counseling is solution focused. I want to make sure to give you the tools you need to be happy and healthy after therapy too. I know sometimes it takes time to trust and I am here to go at whatever pace feels most comfortable to you. I want to help you heal and feel better. I am very thankful and will feel privileged if you decide to allow me to be a part of your journey. 

 

I have been practicing since 1999 and have been EMDR trained since 2002. I decided to work specifically with trauma survivors from the very start of my career. I started out in my bachelor’s program in Texas as Radio/TV major wanting to do sports casting. I changed my major to psychology after a good friend of mine was sexually assaulted on campus and treated horribly throughout the process. I witnessed firsthand how this event impacted her life and her family. I knew then I wanted to make a difference and help others who have experienced traumatic events. I love being able to see a person come out the other side of trauma and thrive. I am truly blessed to love what I do for a living. 

 

I am also a Qualified Supervisor for the state of Florida and really enjoy guiding new counselors and setting them up for success in the mental health field. 

 

In my personal life, my husband is a retired Navy veteran and after many moves, we made Melbourne our forever home in 2017. We are empty nesters except for our 4 furry children. We enjoy traveling in our spare time and finding good hole in the wall restaurants wherever we go.


Thank you for taking the time to read more about me. I hope that we can help you here at Coastal Wellness, please give us a call 321-757-4015
