Laura Noel, LCSW

Laura Noel is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who supports people taking the step to seek help with compassion and practical guidance. She recognizes that reaching out for support can feel intimidating, whether someone is returning to therapy or trying it for the first time, and she approaches each person with an open mind, empathy, and professional respect.

Noel focuses on fostering honest, clear insights that promote self-awareness and encourage meaningful change. Her orientation is collaborative rather than corrective - she aims to help clients identify strengths and areas for growth while offering a steady, supportive presence rather than attempting to "fix" them. This approach is intended to empower individuals to recognize their potential and make choices that align with their values.

She specializes in treating depression, anxiety, and ADHD and has extensive training and experience working with people affected by both acute stress and chronic post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Her clinical work draws on a range of evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). These methods are woven together to match each person’s needs and goals, with an emphasis on practical skills, emotional processing, and long-term growth.
