Jacques Noguess, LPC

Jacques Noguess brings a long and varied career in social services to his counseling work, combining 29 years in social services with 14 years practicing as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). He centers his work on helping people overcome the obstacles that hold them back and supporting them as they pursue meaningful goals and greater fulfillment.

Outside of his professional life he is a happily married father of two - a son and a daughter - who enjoys playing music, values lifelong learning, and has been shaped by experiences traveling the world. Those personal interests complement his commitment to understanding each person he meets.

His professional path has included assisting young people as they find direction, helping adults identify purpose, and supporting older clients through life transitions. He has substantial clinical experience treating a wide range of conditions, including depression, anxiety, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, personality disorders, intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), and traumatic brain injuries (TBI), among others. Above all, he prioritizes listening and meeting people where they are in order to help them move toward their potential.

Jacques uses an integrative approach that draws on practical techniques from Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), Multi-Modal Therapy, and Mindfulness, all organized within a Positive Psychology framework. He relies on evidence-based methods to guide collaborative work with clients toward growth and improved functioning.
