Meet Noah
Hi, I’m Noah Lavetter-Keidan (they/he), a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Oregon. I work with adults aged 18 and older who are navigating trauma, anxiety, sexuality, identity, and relationships. I am particularly focused on supporting those for whom shame, fear, or past experiences make it difficult to feel at home within themselves or to connect with others. I believe our patterns often develop for a reason, and that understanding them with curiosity and compassion can help us find new ways forward. I’m especially passionate about helping people explore the ways trauma shapes their relationships with their bodies, their sense of self, their boundaries, and their sexuality. Whether you’re navigating intimacy, questioning old beliefs about yourself, exploring your identity, or trying to understand patterns that keep showing up in your relationships, therapy can be a space to approach these experiences without judgment.
You Might Be a Good Fit If...
You want a therapist who will make room for your full experience and engage actively in the work with you. You may be:
Seeking support after relational or sexual trauma.
Exploring your gender, sexuality, relationship style, kinks, or boundaries.
Feeling disconnected from your body.
Noticing patterns you want to change but feeling unsure where to begin.
Finding that anxiety gets in the way of what matters to you.
Feeling aware of your patterns but unable to break them.
Holding the belief that personal well-being and social justice are closely connected.
How I Work
Connection comes first. I want you to feel comfortable showing up as yourself, and there is room for humor alongside difficult conversations. I’m an active therapist: I’ll ask questions, offer observations, and suggest ways to explore what you’re experiencing. I work well with clients who intellectualize or overthink and who want to be challenged to go beyond that.
We might map different parts of yourself, check in with sensations in your body, or practice noticing thoughts and emotions with more compassion. We’ll use what we learn to help you understand your needs and take steps toward your goals.
My Approach
My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and grounded in curiosity rather than shame. Drawing from Parts Work and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, I help clients understand their protective patterns, make space for complicated emotions, and reconnect with their values and needs. As a certified sex educator, I bring particular care and openness to conversations about sexuality, intimacy, and relationships. I am allied with and affirming of 2SLGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, and sex worker communities. I believe that personal well-being and social justice are interconnected, and I bring a feminist, liberation-oriented perspective to my work.
