Noelle Gunzburg, LCSW-C
Columbia, MD
With 23 years of clinical experience I can say with confidence – communication is key! When couples enter my office, they can expect an open and engaging environment. I balance delivering direct observations with a kind approach, usually with a bit of humor sprinkled in. Improvement requires self reflection and motivation for change from both partners. I’ll help facilitate these conversations, creating a safe and open space to share. I am particularly skilled in working with first responders, military personnel and those who have experienced trauma.
