Ian Noël, LMHC — Therapist in New York

Hi there, I'm Ian!

My approach is warm, direct, and often lighter than you'd expect. Let's move through the noise and figure out what's actually going on.

My focus

I work best with adults who sense that their past or the stories they tell themselves are shaping their present—in relationships, at work, or in how they feel about themselves. Many of my clients have tried therapy before and felt like something was missing.

My approach

I strive to create a relaxed and nonjudgmental space where people are comfortable to disconnect from the tasks and stressors of their daily lives, take an hour to comfortably and completely look inward, and collaborate together to bring compassion, curiosity, and self-understanding to the present.

My communication style

I'm deeply curious about the stories of the people I work with. Sessions should feel relaxed with an empathetic and a non-judgmental presence. In my experience, trauma and humor aren't clinically incompatible. Levity, when it's real, is part of the work.

My journey to mental healthcare

During my clinical residency I worked exclusively with individuals experiencing complications from PTSD, OCD, BPD, and severe attachment injury. It is my clinical experience that is it not simply just what happened to us in the past, but the stories we carry about the world and ourselves from these experiences.

My goals for you

Formalizing where you want to be is the most effective way to identify what is preventing you from getting there.

Our first session

We'll spend the first session getting current—what brought you here, what's working, what's not, and where you want to see yourself after this process is complete.
