Dr. Mimi Neathery is a licensed clinical psychologist who enjoys working with adults and young adults with emotional struggles that undermine their capacity to feel confident and successful. Her treatment approach centers on identity development, exploring undermining behaviors, and building healthy coping skills.

Dr. Neathery earned her doctorate of psychology in 2007 from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology where she focused on psychodynamic and other depth approaches to psychotherapy. She completed her training in multiple treatment settings and currently provides an integrative approach to therapy. Through her previous work at treatment centers in the Chicago area, Dr. Neathery gained specialized training in diagnostic assessment and intensive therapy with young adults and their families, many of whom sought treatment for the interrelated conditions that had confounded their efforts to move forward in their lives. Dr. Neathery’s approach to psychotherapy begins with developing a trusting, collaborative relationship. She works with each client to explore their hopes and intentions for their future. She focuses on the present circumstances and the actions necessary to reduce harmful behaviors and clear a path to realize these intentions. Throughout therapy, Dr. Neathery supports each individual in deepening their self-awareness. She provides a therapeutic space where they can reflect on their choices and actions. Through a rare compassion and a keen shared curiosity with her clients, Dr. Neathery challenges each individual to become accountable and encourages them to follow through on making changes that support the recovery process.
