About
Suzanne Noel, BSc.N., MPH, MA, RCC
I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor and former Nurse Practitioner with over 20 years of professional experience helping people. I have been trained in several methods of talk therapy. In addition, I use Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) which is similar to EMDR, and is an efficient and powerful method to deal with trauma (single and multiple events) and jump-start the healing process. The presence of trauma in your life can cause you to overreact in some situations and not understand why. These triggers can be healed!
Since we all have a unique view of the world and have our own experiences to draw on, it is important to me that you feel heard and understood. I spend the time getting to know you and your world from your perspective. Through our time together I hope to guide you toward healing and personal growth.
I will also provide you with some skills and tools to further understand and appreciate yourself, and help improve your life now and in the future. I have both personal experience and professional knowledge to help you get back on track. My approach is rooted in empathy and understanding, creating a safe space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings.
Whether you’re facing a difficult transition, seeking to improve your mental health or your relationship with your partner, or simply wanting to understand yourself better, I am here to support you. Let’s work together!
