Noreen Joyce, LCSW — Therapist in Hawaii

Hi there, I'm Noreen!

I help people live their best life with certainty and peace. I work with mood disorders, trauma, personality disorders, grief—especially bereaved parents—and people navigating difficult life changes. Together we'll choose the therapeutic approach that best fits your goals.

My focus

I'm particularly adept at working with adults experiencing mood disorders, personality disorders including Borderline Personality Disorder, and bereaved parents. As a bereaved parent myself, I know how to help navigate this painful tragedy. I also work with couples wanting to improve their relationship.

My approach

I focus on how early relationships shape our adult lives, but I believe the most powerful tool for growth is the quality of our therapeutic relationship. I work hard to understand your worldview and uniqueness. My strongest ability is empathy for you, your life, and your concerns.

My communication style

Clients most appreciate my sense of humor. I establish a collaborative relationship and remain interactive in sessions while staying attentive to your needs. You'll find me warm, engaged, and responsive to what matters most to you.

My journey to mental healthcare

In adolescence, I experienced severe depression. A caring therapist changed my life, inspiring me to make this my life's work. I've worked with well over a thousand people, and each person has been a gift—as I've helped them transform, they've equally transformed me.

My goals for you

I listen carefully to what you want to achieve and develop a treatment plan that will effectively bring about your desired results.

Our first session

The first session involves questions to explore why you're seeking therapy and determine the best course of action. It's equally important that you feel comfortable with me. I encourage you to express concerns and ask questions to determine if you feel heard and understood.
