Welcome! I’m Novia McLaren.
As the founder and Clinical Director of My Story Counseling, I specialize in helping individuals heal from trauma, anxiety, and emotionally abusive relationships using evidence-based approaches including EMDR, and CBT DBT.
My goal is to support you in gaining deeper self-understanding, overcoming what’s holding you back, and moving toward a life that feels aligned, confident, and fulfilling.
I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), a highly effective approach for processing trauma, along with CBT and DBT to support emotional regulation, thought patterns, and lasting behavioral change.
My approach is collaborative, client-centered, and grounded in creating a safe space where you can feel seen, heard, and supported.
With over 12 years of experience and a multicultural background (Jamaican heritage and Spanish-speaking), I am committed to providing an inclusive and empowering therapeutic experience.
This is your story—and I look forward to helping you reclaim it.
