Lauren Noel
Mental Health Counselor
(she/her)
My approach to therapy is person-centered and relationship driven, rooted in a belief that we heal in and through relationship to one another. My hope is to nurture a therapeutic relationship that is based on acceptance, trust and respect for your own inner wisdom! We will work together to build a space for open exploration of all the parts of you, those that you already know or are still discovering. It can be uncomfortable, challenging and beautiful work to meet yourself where you are. I am honored to witness and support you!
I work well with folks who express concerns related to identity, grief and loss experiences, and building self-esteem and confidence. I utilize a variety of therapeutic approaches based on what makes sense for and to you. I do have a special interest in working with attachment systems, the mind and body connection and internal family systems. I love to work with fellow adopted folks (Korean adoptee here!) because I believe that our unique experiences deserve to be understood, centered and honored in the therapy space.
Outside of my therapeutic work, you can find me wandering the city, somewhere outside near a body of water. Admiring plants and art. Eating delicious treats at local spots. Drawing. Cooking and baking; one of my greatest joys is cooking with and for others! I’m learning to play tennis and can’t wait for sunshine days for outside play.
I am currently completing a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Antioch University. I am a mentor and group facilitator supporting adoptees of all ages across the U.S. I have previously facilitated peer groups supporting new parents.
