mx. j. nyla mcneill, DIY PhD is a minimalist polymath, consultant, and coach.

I offer focussed guidance, research, and writing, as well as powerful support in community organizing and facilitation.

For those seeking simplicity in actualizing personal or professional goals and collective visions, I bridge the gap between therapeutic approaches and business coaching with a keen focus on mitigating stress toward liberation. At the core of this work, I serve clients of prioritized populations whom have been most affected by historical and active systemic failure.

As a community member and researcher in the field of psychology, my works seek to understand and mitigate preventable adverse mental health outcomes experienced by transgender, nonbinary, two-spirit, gender non-conforming, and gender-expansive people. I also support and facilitate youth-led research, education, and efforts that focus on improving quality of life, especially for “BIPOC,” neurodivergent, LGBTQIA+ people.
