Neil Friedman, LCSW
I have an eclectic, holistic approach in working with people. I believe in helping people recognize and utilize their strengths to overcome any challenge they might face. In this process, we can explore any unconscious blocks that might be interfering with connecting with others and their environment to make the most of each moment.

Please call or email me for an individual, couples or family therapy consultation today.
