Paige McNeil, LPC

Paige is a bilingual counseling intern fluent in both English and Spanish. She holds an M.A. in Spanish from Middlebury College and an M.Ed. in Counseling from William & Mary. She is nearing completion of her requirements to become a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC).

Paige brings a diverse range of experience to her clinical and educational work. She currently serves as both a school counselor and the Community Connections Coordinator at Sun Valley Community School, where she supports the well-being and integration of Spanish-speaking families. Her professional background also includes roles as a Spanish teacher, a bilingual family support coordinator with the U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants—where she connected unaccompanied minors with critical resources—and as a bilingual victim advocate at The Advocates, providing trauma-informed support to individuals in crisis.

In the DBT group, Paige teaches Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, incorporating a person-centered approach to create a compassionate and individualized therapeutic environment. Her daily use of Spanish at home—her husband is from Argentina—further enhances her cultural and linguistic fluency. This blend of academic training, clinical experience, and lived bilingualism equips her to lead DBT groups in Spanish with both competence and cultural sensitivity.
