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
Amazing
He has always been there for me and listening to my struggles. I’m glad to have him as my therapist
I worked with Noel for an entire year until we couldn't coordinate our schedules anymore. It's been a difficult year for me with significant changes at home and at work. However talking to Noel helped me focus on what's important and I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a great listener and incredible support.
Noel is patient and kind. I love that if he hasn't heard from me that he will message me to see if I'm OK. I love that feature that teencounseling.com offers over traditional therapy.
Noel is a great therapist. I feel like he offers unbiased feedback and allows us to reflect on our issues in a way that brings about small wins and real solutions.
Awesome. First counselor that has been able to help us and listen to both of us. Incredibly competent in this field.
Noel James is the best therapist I've experienced ever. He listens, asks clarifying and probing questions that challenge me to look deeper beyond my feelings. He helps me utilize my own autonomy and empowerment to process. This is important because it does not create a dependency issue between the client and therapist. Noel is truly about healing work. I am grateful to find Noel James.
Noel is an amazing therapist. He listens and supports me. He’s funny and very personable. He relates to me and actually CARES about my well being. Will check on me when no one else will. Just an overall dope person

He is knowledgeable, patient, supportive, and fair. We would highly recommend him to any family or couple considering counseling as an option.
Noel continues to help me immensely. Our conversations are some of the most important of my week and they are helping me become the person I want to be. Noel has a very calming manner and doesn’t judge - he is fantastic.

Noel really takes time to listen to each of us.
Noel is incredibly sincere and patient, he listens and is such a kind hearted individual. Of all the therapists I’ve had he really seems like the most genuine. I was nervous during our first session but after getting to know Noel my anxieties were quickly eased. 10/10.

Dr. Noel James is very attentive and I do enjoy our sessions
He is an excellent therapist and I would recommend him
He is helping me to unravel my issues layer by layer like an onion
Noel has such a warm and welcoming personality that really invites you to open up and feel comfortable in counselling. His therapy style was effective in shifting my mindset and being able to rationalize my insecurities and depression and their root causes. I look forward to working with him again in the future and would recommend him to any others that are struggling with similar issues.
Therapy has helped me to reflect on whats truly important in my life. Noel is super insightful and has helped me navigate the hurdles life has thrown at me. I was hesitant to do therapy in the first place but Im now glad I did because I feel it is making an impact in how I live my life.
Noel has been great. He provides a great balance of allowing me to think and speak on my feelings and also providing his perspective/feedback
Noel has really helped me through a tough breakup. I was able to be at my worst with him and he helped guide me through how to put my life back together and process emotions effectively.

Noel is very patient and kind. He gives you a variety of ways to communicate with him and frequently checks in to see how you are doing. I appreciate his tips, tools, and straight forwardness - he keeps it real. I definitely end session feeling well grounded and motivated!
I have gone through years of therapy with multiple therapists and never have I before actually had a therapist that was as helpful, thoughtful, and judgement free as Noel James. I feel like he is very responsive and knowledgeable about his craft. I’m extremely grateful for his guidance and perspective while I work through my personal issues & life challenges at this time.
Noel is my first therapist and he is amazing. I’m very pleased that he was paired up with me
