Getting to know Dr. Noel Hunter
Noël Hunter, Psy.D., is a licensed clinical psychologist and the founder and director of MindClear. She believes in a trauma-informed, humanistic, approach to understanding problems in living. Although specializing in trauma, dissociation and psychosis, Dr. Hunter views all problems in living as existing within the context of one’s life and on a continuum of suffering.
She has trained in community mental health, state hospital, residential, juvenile justice, and college counseling settings, has been an adjunct professor for both undergraduate and graduate psychology students at Long Island University and New York University, and has guest lectured for a class at UCLA. Dr. Hunter has been interviewed for numerous news, podcast, and other sources, including National Geographic, CNN, BBC News, Parents Magazine, and more. She is also the author of the book “Trauma and Madness in Mental Health Services.”
Prior to studying to become a clinical psychologist, Dr. Hunter was a fledgling actor immersed in improv comedy and made a living for a decade as a personal trainer. These experiences highly influence both her perspective on humanity and mental health, as well as her approach to clinical work. She realized long before entering her studies the importance of relationships and the profound healing effects of humor, comradery, and physical activity. In addition, she realized in working with “the worried well” the continuum on which emotional suffering resides and the extensive suffering that exists due to our current cultural society.
Dr. Hunter received her bachelor’s degree from the University of South Florida, her master’s degree from New York University, and her doctorate degree from Long Island University – Post. She has additional training in DBT, Internal Family Systems, trauma-sensitive yoga, and other trauma-informed practices.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Compassion and learning to trust are keys to building strength, feeling confident, healing from past trauma, no longer living in fear, and feeling empowered to become the amazing person you already are inside. It's difficult to do this on one's own - and you shouldn't have to. We will work together to help you find joy, play, fulfilling relationships, balance, and success.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I value each person as an expert on his or her own life while also aiming to provide tools for change. My approach draws on a number of therapeutic modalities, designed to fit individual needs. Through collaboration, compassion, laughter, and the fostering of a supportive and safe relationship, we will work together to facilitate your journey to health!
