Transform Your Life with Expert Guidance

Meet the Author!

• My name is Christopher McNeil, and here is my story…
• I grew up on the corner of Beaver and Andrew Streets, in Lancaster, PA. lived there from the age of 2 until 24 with my grandmother and my mother. Both of these strong, independent  women were intentional on me and my siblings receiving a good education. My grandmother was my first hope-giver. She had a 3rd grade education, but read the Bible to me every morning and this intervention had me reading by the age of 2. 
• A Lancaster, Pennsylvania native, Chris is a proud graduate of JP McCaskey High School.
• Chris holds an undergraduate degree from Thaddeus Stevens College, majored in Psychology at Millersville University for 2 years..
• Chris also holds a Masters Degree in Counseling with a concentration in Psychology & Human Services from The Lincoln University of Pennsylvania..
• Before relocating to Central Virginia in 2014, Chris was employed as a Mobile Therapist/Behavior Specialist Consultant for adults and children mostly in the school environment, was heavily involved in IEP creation and team meetings, advising and assisting educators with support of their challenging students.
• Chris is now licensed as a Qualified Mental Health Professional for Adults and Children in Virginia, with years of experience working in Therapeutic Day Treatment, Case Management, Mental Health Skill Building and Crisis and Community Stabilization programs, working as a 988 Crisis Response Worker.
• Chris is also a Grant Writer.
• Chris has been married to his wife Terry for 28 years and have been a couple for 33 years.. They have 5 children ages 21 to 31.
• Why did I write this book?
• I authored this book because as someone who has been in the helping profession of Counseling for over 30 years, there are many individuals who need affirmed and need tangible tools to address their Grief and Loss, however it shows up in their lives.
• I wanted the books to be user friendly, an easy read, and not too clinical in nature.
• People think that being successful is the answer, many lives appear full, yet empty. Social Media NEVER displays your failures. There are many functional depressives. I was a cracked egg!!! All those successes were like putting band aids on cracked eggs..I was still bleeding from a wound that didn't heal. 
• I came to a crossroads in my life. Either break the dysfunctional cycle by getting the help or blaze a new trail. My new trail was WRITING.
• I also grew tired of individuals experiencing and remaining entrenched the various stages of the Grief and Loss cycle and not receiving help, or having any tools to understand or address their feelings. 
• My hope and prayer is that everyone who encounters this publication will come out wiser as a result.

I have authored several books, the first is Called “A Journey Toward Healing-Grief and Loss Workbook.“ Its a guided, evidenced -based informed space for reflection, grounded in the work of Kubler-Ross, Kessler, Niemeyer, Bonanno, and personal testimonials for each stage of the Grief cycle. A Childrens‘ workbook on  Grief and Loss is coming later this year. 

The second book will be “366 Days of Affirmation-A Year of Truth Transformation, and Peace.
