Hello, my name is Roslynn Noble. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW 89024). This means I am trained as a therapist and as a social worker. I have worked as a clinical social worker for the last 10 years. Most recently my area of focus has been brief therapy, which focuses on stabilizing a single issue in 5-12 sessions. Therapy can be overwhelming, and the first few sessions are sometimes spent identifying and prioritizing what to stabilize.

Don't go it alone! You're making the first step by looking for a therapist. I work with people who are going through life transitions who need help improving their natural coping skills and learning new ones. Many people experience life changes such as the birth of a child, starting college, starting a career, getting married or divorced, parenting, empty nesting, assisting with an aging parent or the death of a loved one. Having worked as a manager in a workplace I can offer support and guidance in workplace conflicts and communication. I provide support as we work together to improve the things that aren't working.
