Noel Magwood

I am a licensed therapist with specialized training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, an evidence-based approach for healing from trauma and distressing life experiences. I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Florida State University and am passionate about helping individuals create meaningful and lasting change. My areas of specialization include eating disorders, trauma, perfectionism, and the emotional challenges that often accompany them. I strive to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel understood, empowered, and equipped with practical tools for growth. Together, we can work toward healing, greater self-compassion, and a life that feels more aligned with your values and goals.

I take a warm, compassionate, and collaborative approach to therapy, viewing each client as the expert on their own life and experiences. My role is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space while offering insight, perspective, and practical tools to help you move toward your goals. I believe that healing happens within a strong therapeutic relationship, so I often use authenticity and humor to help clients feel comfortable and understood. Before engaging in deeper trauma work, I focus on building trust, gathering a thorough understanding of your experiences, and strengthening coping skills to ensure you feel prepared and supported throughout the process.

In our first session, my primary focus is getting to know you and creating a space where you feel comfortable sharing your story at your own pace. We'll review important information about the therapy process, discuss your goals, and explore what has brought you to counseling. I approach this conversation with genuine curiosity, active listening, and a desire to understand your unique experiences and strengths. The first session is also an opportunity for you to get a sense of my style and determine whether I am the right fit for your needs. By the end of our time together, you can expect greater clarity about your goals and a collaborative plan for moving forward.
