Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Noel James. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Teen Counseling might be different.
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!
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
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 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

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 attentive, insightful, and personable. I'm really enjoying my sessions with him!
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
