Lady-Dreama Noir, LISW-S — Therapist in Ohio

Hi there, I'm Lady-Dreama!

I am an LISW-S, LICDC, a licensed independent social worker providing mental health and chemical dependency therapy in Central Ohio. I received my master’s in social work from The Ohio State University.

My focus

I focus on providing mental health services to the community, with emphasis on underserved people of color. I work with clients facing trauma, grief, chemical dependency, relationship issues, and self-esteem challenges.

My approach

I specialize in therapy for mental health concerns, trauma, grief, and chemical dependency. I utilize an empowering and straightforward approach to build rapport. I want my clients to feel like Ohana—family means no one gets left behind or forgotten.

My communication style

I utilize a relaxed communication style so sessions feel conversational. I want you to look forward to our time together and feel safe to be open and vulnerable in order to foster growth throughout your therapeutic journey with me as your guide.

My journey to mental healthcare

I started my practice to honor my father, who passed away. He was also a licensed independent social worker and chemical dependency counselor, and through my work, I am continuing our family legacy.

My goals for you

Therapy is a partnership. Together, we'll identify and set goals that matter to you, whether they focus on improving relationships, building self-esteem, or another personal objective. As we work together, your goals may evolve as you gain new insights.

Our first session

Our first session will be an opportunity for us to get to know one another. We'll discuss your background and what brings you to therapy. It's completely normal to feel nervous. We'll take things at your pace so that we build your comfort level, and I'm here to guide you.
