Join the Rebellion (JTR23 Inc)
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
My name is Damon Neely. I have been a therapist since 2012. I didn't come to this work through a straightforward path. Before I was a therapist, I was a U.S. Marine — trained to project strength, suppress what's underneath, and keep moving regardless of what I was carrying. That orientation served me in a lot of contexts. It also cost me things I didn't fully understand until later.
When I transitioned out and eventually found my way into healthcare and then into clinical mental health work, I brought that background with me — not as a credential to display, but as a lived reference point. I know what it's like to operate in high-pressure environments where vulnerability is a liability. I know what it costs to perform competence while something quieter is going on underneath. And I know how unfamiliar it feels to sit across from someone and actually say what's true.
That's the man I built my practice around. Not because it's a profitable niche — though it is — but because I understand him from the inside. The high-performer who has optimized everything in his life except his relationship with himself. The man who can hold a room but can't quiet the voice in his head. The man who takes meticulous care of everyone except himself. These aren't abstract client profiles to me. They're men I recognize.
Over two decades in healthcare and eleven years in clinical practice have sharpened how I work, but the core of it hasn't changed: I believe most men are carrying more than they've ever said out loud, and that saying it — to the right person, in the right space — changes something fundamental. Not just symptom relief. Something deeper. A shift in how a man understands himself and what he believes he deserves.
That's what I show up to do.

Carrie Gauthier
Hypnotherapist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCHt
Fear, anxiety, anger, shame, guilt, sadness; we are taught to repress these uncomfortable emotions and mask our pain. When these BIG emotions are shoved down for so long, they try to get our attention in various ways. We push back harder. They often manifest as maladaptive behaviors, habits, addictions, and even chronic physical and psychological conditions. We may overeat, overwork, over-promise, people-please, self-sabotage, be unable to focus, thrill-seek, put ourselves in danger, act out, procrastinate, deplete our own resources, and more. The majority of this type of unwanted behavior and thinking often can be traced back to some form of trauma, abuse, abandonment, or neglect. My hypnotherapy sessions help to process the emotions in a safe and loving way, and facilitate healing; so you feel safe in your own mind and comfortable in your own skin. We simultaneously work on reframing the debilitating thoughts and behaviors with healthy and supportive new ones that support your new goals. It is in this way we let go of the old stories and rewrite the future of our dreams.
