About Neel Mehta

I am a doctorally licensed clinical psychologist in the greater Chicagoland area with 19 years of professional experience in working with children, adults, couples and families. I have worked in many settings providing direct help with distress in many forms, as well as working through relationship and life issues such as those that arise in youth, intimacy, and family life. I am also available as a performance coach and consultant across multiple domains including personal, team, educational, and executive.

I have been continuously integrating new life experiences and knowledge through time in addition to training and practice so that I can influence clearly evident change for people who need or want it. I understand that this is a time where skepticism and disdain for so-called expertise is understandable and too often required. I will not likely tell you our work is easy but I am very confident in finding a way to improve any given situation together.

“We share commonalities spiritually so Neel can encourage me in a "language" that hits home. He's been very helpful so far.”

“I was pretty skeptical at first, but it ended up being genuinely helpful. Easy to talk to, straightforward, and good at helping me work through things without making it feel forced or scripted. I’ve gotten a lot more clarity from the sessions than I expected.”

“He is great and very understanding”

“Very nice fella and very professional”

“Neel is great. I have had a few therapists over the years and he is by far the best.”

“One of the best. Amazing person. Experts like him are why people excel in therapy.”

“Thanks”

“Great guy and very adaptable to my personality”

“He seems to be a family man as well so I feel like we connect a bit more”

“Very knowledgeable”

“Always listens, and offers unique advice. Willing to understand me on a personal level.”

“I’ve only worked with Dr. Mehta for a short time, but his passion for helping people is already quite evident. He’s beyond knowledgeable on the areas of mental health we’ve touched so far, and I’m excited for further sessions.”

“I responded to one of the first questions incorrectly. Neel is terrific across the board. I accidentally hit a negative response. I am grateful for his e permise and attentiveness to what I bring to our sessions.”

“I really encourage anyone who is struggling with child custody issues to ask for Dr Neel Mehta. It warms my heart deeply to know there are people out there that care about what they do. There are so many crumbling foundations everywhere because when you hate what you do or you have seen so much ugly the big things you once cared about slowly withers away. I love seeing passion in people when they care deeply in what they do in jobs and careers. I met with Dr Neel Mehta one time and because we can't afford it right now, that one interaction went beyond measure. Thank you Neel for all that you do and continue to do and if I can afford it later I hope that we get you.”
