About Noel James

I am a licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida with over 20 years of experience providing counseling and psycho-therapy. I have a dual masters degree in Mental Health Counseling and School Guidance Counseling. I have worked with clients suffering from wide ranges of issues including depression, anxiety, psychotic disorders, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD and ADHD along with sexual disfunctions. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse and criminalization.

My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don’t believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

“Very thorough therapist with a clear strategy. Doesn’t feel like talking to a brick wall or a teddy bear…feels like talking to a professional”

“My 14 year old son loves Noel. Highly recommend for couples therapy and teen therapy. My husband and I used Noel 2 years ago for pre-marital counseling and now he’s helping my teen son get through his teenage years.”

“Great therapist!”

“My son has been with Noel James for two weeks and already I am seeing a change in impulsivity and anger management. The strategies he gives are real world and have applicability.”

“Noel listens and give helpful advice. He has helped me on my journey to sobriety and has opened my eyes to thoughts and coping skills I never used before”

“Noel is an awesome therapist that listens without judging. He was able to help me find some triggers that were leading to the behavior I was trying to change and work with me to change those behaviors.”

“Noel is caring, compassionate, and patient. He takes the time to listen to your concerns. He asks you about your day and weekend which usually gets the conversation going. I'm happy to start our call every week and pleased to recommend Noel. If you are new to therapy or have been attending therapy for years, give Noel an opportunity to change your view, which could ultimately change your life.”

“Noel is incredible with taking the time to listen to your problems and feelings and help you navigate with solutions and tools he gives you. An incredible guy and an incredible therapist!”

“Friendly, warm, and welcoming to this new experience for me.”

“Being completely new to therapy, I wasn't sure what to expect. Therapy is something I've always wanted to explore but wasn't sure how to get started or what exactly I was even looking for. Noel has been great to work with, he shows a wonderful level of care and provides great feedback and perspective to our discussions. I couldn't recommend him more!”

“Noel is extremely easy to speak with and always has excellent advice for whenever I bring up an issue that popped up that week <br /> <br /> I would compare it to speaking with a close friend on the phone who you can be open and honest with and know they will support you.<br /> <br /> He has given me hope and a new take on life.”

“ABSOLUTELY amazing, and helped me through one of the hardest moments in my life... a divorce. I feel stronger, closer to God, and more confident in myself because of the work we did together!”

“Very caring and trustworthy.”

“Im really happy that i speak to Noel. He listens to me and understands me when i explain my feelings”

“Great guy, great therapist”
