Noora Niskanen

Noora Niskanen is a dedicated Clinical Social Worker and Therapist, LCSW, MFA, who specializes in working with high-functioning individuals grappling with trauma and PTSD. Many of her clients are externally successful yet find themselves struggling with their emotional well-being when they attempt to slow down. They often experience heightened stress and difficulty in maintaining intimate relationships, feeling an emptiness that despite their accomplishments, continues to linger. Noora understands that triggers can serve as pivotal opportunities for healing and growth. Her compassionate approach offers hope, emphasizing that with effort and guidance, individuals can find their way to a fulfilling life. Based in NYC, Noora works primarily with high achievers who have faced childhood trauma and helps them reconnect with their feelings, partners, and their authentic selves. Utilizing EMDR and trauma-focused methodologies, she specializes in complex childhood trauma—whether physical, sexual, or relational—and supports survivors in learning to safely express their emotions, foster connections with others, and ultimately lead a more authentic life post-trauma.
