Professional statement

Neeka Stanley is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker working in Providence, RI. If you are seeking more peace and joy in your life, but are blocked by things that have happened in the past or are even still happening, then she would love to help you. Together, we can heal emotional and relational wounds and help your nervous system regulate. When trauma gets stuck in our bodies, it can show up as depression, anxiety, anger, PTSD, conflicts in our relationships, or difficulty reaching our full potential. Neeka can help you address the root causes of those symptoms so that you can create the life you really want.

Neeka weaves together EMDR, parts work, and polyvagal theory to meet you where you are and help you create the life you want. Everyone has different needs, so she offers a range of services. Treatment may include ongoing weekly 60 minute sessions, Extended Sessions (90-120 min), Intensives (4 hours a day for multiple days) or group retreats. She offers both in person and telehealth services. Her style is very down to earth, and her clients typically feel comfortable and welcome with her.

Neeka earned her Master’s degree in Social Work from SUNY Buffalo. She was trained in EMDR at The Trauma Institute in 2017 and was EMDRIA certified in 2022.


Message to clients

I invite you to allow me to accompany you on your path to healing and wholeness. I believe that you are the expert in your own life and that together we can create an individualized approach that allows you to identify and heal the things holding you back and free up your energy for living your best life.

I am EMDR certified and trained in ego state work. We all have experiences that have shaped us, some are now our strengths and some are blocks. You have done what you needed to do to survive and get this far in life and I see great strength in that. I can help you heal the blocks that hold you back and build on the strengths to allow you to to thrive in life and live the life you want. I have helped people who have been struggling with relationships, work, depression, anxiety, trauma, low self esteem and dissociation. I hope that you can also experience more freedom and joy in your life through our work together.

I would be honored to share your journey. Please reach out today to begin this adventure!
