Noel Guevara

I am Noel Guevara, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience in mental health. I work with clients of all ages and backgrounds with emotional challenges and patterns. I have a strong passion for supporting others, identifying limiting beliefs keeping individuals stuck, and teaching my clients how to break through and achieve a life they didn't think was possible!

My approach

My approach is client-centered. I will meet you with empathy, open-mindedness, and unconditional positive regard. I believe in working collaboratively with my clients to develop treatment priorities and create a vision and plan to achieve your personal and therapeutic goals.

My focus

I typically work with high-risk clients (suicidal, self-harming, impulsive). I work with individuals with personality disorders, eating disorders, and general anxiety/depression. I am comfortable treating these clients. I am open to treating clients 16 years of age and older. I enjoy individual, couples and group counseling.

My communication style

I have been told by clients that it feels easy to speak with me. I believe that is because I listen and get curious about you, who you are, and what you would like to achieve with our time together. I have a soft tone, calm for the most part, there are times we may laugh in session because life and growth and change can be fun!

My goals for you

I love setting goals with clients! After getting to know you and your reasons for seeking support, I will share with you what I think I heard you say you'd like to work on and then ask you specifically where you would like to see yourself emotionally in the near future. I will explore with you your vision for therapy and what outcomes you want to see. Then we will go through setting SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, time-focused) goals. Each week we will work towards building a mindset and behaviors that support achieving these goals.

My first session with you

During a first session with me, a client can expect to feel comfortable and safe. I will introduce myself and share a little about my background and what therapy is and will ask you to share about yourself, what brings you in to get support, and where you would like to see yourself.
