Noah is a certified cognitive therapy provider since 2010, after completing the rigorous certification process, which includes the close evaluation of the applicant's academic knowledge and clinical expertise before a certificate in CBT is awarded. Noah has also studied Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE) with Edna Foa, Gottman method couple therapy with John and Julie Gottman, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) with Steven Hayes, Transformational Chairwork with Scott Kellogg; Compassion Focused Therapy with Paul Gilbert; & Trial-Based Cognitive Therapy (TBCT) with Irismar Reis de Oliveira. After close supervision and evaluation, Noah became one of a few clinicians to be certified as a Trial Based Cognitive Therapist (TBCT). |

He serves as a "rater" for the Academy--one of the expert CBT therapists who review and score audio samples submitted by individuals applying for certification in cognitive therapy. Noah is also an ACT Certified Trainer/Consultant, which signifies that he possesses the skills to serve as a mentor, consultant, or supervisor for other developing cognitive behavioral therapists.
