Using parts work, somatic therapy, and EMDR Noah offers therapy for individuals and couples. If you are a couple stuck in the same old loop, then it's time to begin the more honest dialogue you’ve been putting off for too long. I have supported individuals with with anxiety, depression, CPTSD, grief, gender and sexuality issues, and major life transitions.

My clients tell me I am extremely non judgemental, empathic and very safe to talk to. I also work directly WITH you to set your desired goals and what you want from your therapy. One of my joys is to help my clients learn how to be their individual authentic selves complete with confidence, clarity and calm.

Hello! I’m Najwa Azizi, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with compassion and support. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, mood disorders, stress, and burnout through a personalized and collaborative approach to care. With a background in both behavioral health and critical care nursing, I understand the importance of treating the whole person — emotionally, mentally, and physically. My goal is to create a welcoming, judgment-free space where clients feel safe, heard, and empowered to grow, heal, and reach their full potential.

Some struggle privately. Some turn to close ones but end up more perplexed or hurt. For 27 years I have offered therapy that unwinds pain, anxiety, depression, ptsd opening doors to new joy, peace, presence and fulfillment Using IFS, ACT & AEDP-Aspects, EMDR, CBT, PTR-influenced, Hypnotherapy, Somatic, Expressive (art/dance/vocal/writing/drama therapies) I draw upon my LMFT and my PhD in Expressive Therapies.

I specialize in helping clients navigate depression, anxiety, anger, trauma, and the thought patterns that keep them feeling stuck. Since 2003, I’ve used CBT informed, trauma informed, and solution focused techniques to help clients understand cognitive distortions, reframe challenges, and build practical tools for lasting change. My approach is warm, nonjudgmental, and centered on your goals, strengths, and the skills you already have.

I specialize in working with adults experiencing burnout, chronic stress/anxiety, trauma, and neurodivergence. As a neurodivergent therapist who has navigated my own experiences with burnout, I understand how exhausting it can be to constantly feel "on" for everyone else. I’m especially passionate about supporting helping professionals, caregivers, and high-achieving folks who spend so much energy caring for others that they forget to care for themselves. I also bring my full personality into the therapy room (including humor, authenticity, and the occasional slightly twisted joke) when the moment calls for it.
