Hey there! I’m Noah Leavitt (he/him)
My path into the world of mental health hasn’t exactly been a straight line—it’s been a winding one, shaped by curiosity, a knack for following my excitement, and a commitment to doing what I felt was the next right thing.
What began with a personal meditation and breath-work practice grew into teaching mindfulness on my college campus and exploring a range of healing traditions, from yoga and somatic practices to Ayurvedic Medicine.
Completing a thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail was also a key experience that helped to shape my world-view and taught me more about presence, resilience, and humility than I could have imagined.
I later began working directly with clients in a wilderness therapy program, supporting adolescents and families in environments that invited honesty and connection. Since then, I’ve completed my masters in Social work from the University of Denver and worked in both school and community mental health settings.
Style and Approach
I truly believe that healing doesn’t happen in isolation. We can do a lot of meaningful work in therapy, but real, lasting change takes place in relationship: through connection, belonging, and being part of something bigger than ourselves. While the therapeutic relationship can be a powerful space to practice and experience that, it’s not the end goal. My hope is that what we do together helps you feel more resourced and confident to build the kinds of relationships and community that makes celebrating being alive easeful, and provides you the resilience and vitality to cope with inevitable challenge.
In our work, I’ll support you in creating and strengthening relationships so you feel genuinely nourished by others and can offer that same nourishment in return. We’ll use our relationship as a kind of practice ground: a place to build skills, experiment with being more authentic, and deepen your capacity for connection. More than any one model, I focus on helping you feel grounded, supported, and connected to the bigger web of relationship that makes change possible.
Specialties
Early-Career Adults & College Students:
Many people in this stage feel the strain of modern life - the pressure to “figure it all out,” stay productive, and navigate relationships while trying to understand who they are and where they’re headed. Big decisions, transitions, and shifting identities can create anxiety, overwhelm, or a sense of feeling lost.
This stage of life often overlaps with ages 18–35, but it’s less about age and more about the developmental task of figuring out what fits. It’s frequently framed as the “best years of your life,” yet it unquestionably brings identity exploration, questions of purpose, shifting roles, and pressure from many directions. It’s normal to feel stuck, anxious, or alone during this season, even if it seems like everyone else has it together.
How We’ll Work Together
I pay close attention to the tension many young adults feel between the part of them seeking stability and the part longing for meaning. It’s common to feel torn between wanting security — a solid job, steady relationships, a clear plan — and wanting a life that feels authentic, purposeful, and alive. In our work, we’ll explore this inner conflict with curiosity rather than judgment and find a way forward that integrates both of these core desires.
Many young adults also carry a quiet sense of “I should be further along by now,” shaped by family expectations, social comparison, and cultural pressure. Together, we’ll slow down these narratives and build a relationship to yourself that’s based on honesty, compassion, and your actual needs — not someone else’s timeline.
We’ll explore patterns in your relationships, clarify your values, likes and dislikes, and build skills that help you move through the world with more confidence and ease. Therapy becomes a place to practice new ways of relating: setting boundaries, being more authentic, understanding your emotional patterns, and building healthier relationships. We’ll look at where your values, instincts, and longings are trying to guide you, and how to make choices that align with who you’re becoming.

Men & Relationships
It’s common for men to feel disconnected in their relationships, even when they care deeply and want things to feel closer and more steady. You might hold back and withdraw when things feel tense, or go the other direction: overthinking, overexplaining, or taking on too much responsibility to keep the peace. Either way, it can leave you feeling stuck, misunderstood, anxious, or overwhelmed.
Many men grow up believing they have to manage everything alone, that needing support or showing emotion means they’re falling short. You may know in your mind that this isn’t true, but you still struggle to ask for help, be honest with yourself or others, or communicate your feelings. Real strength is relational: being grounded, open, accountable, and willing to show up differently. Together, we’ll explore what’s getting in the way of the connection you want and build relationships that feel more honest, supportive, and alive.
How We’ll Work Together
Our work focuses on the patterns that keep you looping — whether that’s shutting down, reacting quickly, trying too hard to fix things, or feeling swallowed by emotion. We’ll slow things down, make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface, and practice new ways of relating that feel more steady and true to who you are.
Therapy becomes a space to experiment: setting boundaries, expressing needs, repairing conflict with clarity, and building trust through a consistent presence that can be counted on. My style is practical and grounded, with the right amount of challenge to help you grow while feeling supported.
The goal is straightforward: to help you feel more connected, confident, and capable of building the closeness and stability you want — in your relationships and in yourself.
My office
I meet with clients both online and in-person in my nature-immersive therapy office. It is very difficult to create lasting change in isolation. In fact, isolation is often at the root of feeling stuck, anxious, or disconnected. We tend to experience ourselves as separate — from others, from community, and from the natural world.
My office is outdoors for a reason. Nature reminds us that we’re part of something larger, something alive and interconnected. Just like healing happens through relationship, it can also happen through our relationship with the natural world. Out here, the “veil of separateness” feels thinner. Many people find that being in nature helps them access a sense of presence, vitality, and connection that’s harder to touch indoors — and from that place, real change becomes possible.
