Therapist

Are you going through a major life change and feeling unsure of what comes next? Maybe you're adjusting to an empty nest, a career change, retirement, or the loss of someone important to you. These changes can bring feelings of worry, sadness, loneliness, or uncertainty about who you are and what you want from life.


I help adults in midlife and later life work through these challenges with greater confidence and peace of mind. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, family concerns, or changes in your health, you don't have to figure everything out on your own.


My goal is to help you feel heard, supported, and better able to handle life's ups and downs. Together, we'll explore what matters most to you, build practical tools to manage stress, and find ways to bring more meaning and joy into your life.


I believe that even difficult changes can lead to new opportunities for growth. With compassion, understanding, and years of experience, I'm here to help you move forward in a way that feels right for you.

Saleena Neuhaus

Therapist

Virtual • Iowa


If you've been awake at 3am running the same loop, or carrying something that happened to you that still shows up in your body years later, or white-knuckling your way through a job that takes more than it gives — you're in the right place. I'm Saleena Neuhaus, and I've been a clinical social worker for more than 13 years. I'm down-to-earth, evidence-based, conversational, and I think shared humor belongs in the therapy room — you're not going to get a blank stare and a notepad from me. My work centers on anxiety, depression, PTSD and trauma, insomnia and sleep problems, ADHD, adjustment and life change, occupational stress, and the relational stuff sitting underneath a lot of it. Sleep is a particular focus of mine, and it's often the thread worth pulling first — when sleep comes back, everything else gets more workable. I've trained and practiced as a trauma-informed provider, which in practice means we move at your pace and nothing gets forced open before you're ready. Most of all, I want you to leave with real hope that recovery is possible and that feeling better is genuinely available to you.
