Clark Noonan
You might feel like you’ve been carrying too much for too long—trying to keep it together while life feels heavier than it should. Maybe anxiety keeps running the show. Maybe you’ve been stuck in habits or patterns that don’t serve you anymore. Maybe you’ve gone through heartbreak, loss, or betrayal and can’t quite find your footing again. Or maybe you just know something’s off, and you’re tired of pretending everything’s fine. Here’s how I can help. Together, we’ll slow things down and get to the root of what’s really driving your emotions and behaviors—not just the surface stress, but the deeper patterns that keep showing up. I’ll help you develop tools to manage overwhelming thoughts and feelings in real time so you can start responding differently instead of reacting automatically. We’ll also focus on rebuilding your confidence and connection—with yourself and the people who matter most. That means learning how to trust your own instincts again, set boundaries without guilt, and create habits that actually last. Therapy with me isn’t about endlessly talking through problems—it’s about real movement. My goal is to help you feel lighter, more grounded, and genuinely hopeful about where you’re headed.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
From the moment we meet, my focus is on understanding you. We’ll talk about what’s been weighing on you, what you’ve already tried, and what you want life to look like moving forward. You’ll leave with a sense of direction—and we’ll create a clear, realistic plan for how to get there.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
You’ll get the most from working with me if you’re ready to be open, willing to try new tools, and committed to your own growth—even if you’re scared, uncertain, or have tried therapy before. I work best with people navigating anxiety, grief, shame, or relationship challenges who want more than coping—they want change. Direct + Compassionate: I’ll challenge you when it helps, but you’ll always feel respected and understood. Results-Oriented: I’m here to help you actually feel different—not just think differently. If you’re reading this, something in you already knows it’s time. Let’s start your next chapter.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I work with adults seeking individual therapy who want to better understand themselves, navigate emotional challenges, and create meaningful change. I’m best positioned to support those experiencing anxiety, stress, relational difficulties, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. My approach is well-suited for individuals who are open to self-reflection, curious about their inner world, and motivated to build emotional awareness, resilience, and a stronger sense of self.

My treatment methods
Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP)
I incorporate Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy as a transformative approach to healing emotional wounds and fostering personal growth. AEDP emphasizes the creation of safe and empathetic therapeutic relationships, allowing clients to explore and process difficult emotions with courage and resilience. By integrating experiential techniques and relational interventions, AEDP empowers clients to cultivate self-awareness, emotional regulation, and a sense of inner strength.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to help clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns and behaviors. By teaching practical skills and strategies, CBT empowers individuals to develop healthier coping mechanisms, manage stress more effectively, and cultivate a more positive outlook on life.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
IFS is a therapeutic model that views the mind as a system of various "parts" or subpersonalities, each with its own thoughts, feelings, and motivations. In my practice, I use IFS to help clients explore and understand their internal dynamics, cultivate self-compassion, and integrate conflicting parts to achieve greater harmony and authenticity within themselves.
Brainspotting
I use Brainspotting as a focused, body-based approach to help clients access and process unresolved trauma and emotional pain. By identifying specific eye positions connected to stored experiences, we can bypass overthinking and work directly with the nervous system. My approach is steady and attuned, allowing space for your system to process at its own pace without forcing insight. I support you in building awareness, regulation, and release, helping reduce distress and increase a sense of internal stability. This method is especially helpful when talking alone doesn’t fully resolve what you’re feeling.
Attachment-based
My Attachment-Based Therapy approach focuses on understanding how early relationship experiences shape your current patterns in connection, trust, and emotional safety. I help you identify these patterns in real time and explore how they show up in your relationships, including in therapy. Together, we work to create a more secure internal foundation so you can communicate needs clearly, set boundaries, and feel more grounded in connection with others. My style is relational and direct, offering both insight and practical ways to shift these patterns. The goal is to help you experience relationships with greater clarity, security, and authenticity.

Clark is the best! I have been working with him for a year now. He is warm, authentic, and inviting. He is non judgmental and meets you where you are at. He genuinely cares and you feel it. I am very fortunate to have found Clark and I am thankful to have the opportunity to work with him. He's amazing.
