Meet The Songwriting Therapist™
Welcome
Hello, and welcome to NoelNeu.com, where I help people transform their lives from within and find their inner peace. I am Noel Neu, otherwise known as The Songwriting Therapist™, and I am beyond excited to share my methods and services with you.
Background
...But first, a little bit about my background. I am a licensed psychotherapist in the state of Florida with a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Nova Southeastern University. (But that wasn’t how I started out in the workforce.) Believe it or not, I started off my career in construction management before embarking on a personal journey to find my own inner peace. It was along that journey I decided to pursue a career in mental health, and I haven’t stopped since.
From the year 2000 and beyond, I have gained extensive experience working with adults and adolescents in treating addiction, codependency, and behavioral issues, with a special focus on helping men, women, and teens improve their communication skills and enhance their ability to set and achieve attainable goals in their lives.
During my time in mental health, I have provided both individual and group therapy as an independent therapist, lectures and presentations as a director of EAP services, and residential, outpatient, and transitional treatment as a substance abuse counselor. I have also been the clinical director and CEO of my own intensive outpatient program to treat substance abuse and codependency.
I’ve gained an incredible sense of fulfillment throughout my career and have had the privilege of working with hundreds of incredible clients. And yet, it often felt like something was still missing—like I needed something more, something different.
The Songwriting-Therapy Connection
You see, I’ve been a musician as a singer-songwriter, writing and creating music for decades, and there was always a very distinct healing quality in music for me. Playing it, singing it, writing it, even just listening to it—music both inspired me and helped me process my own emotions in troubled times.
In my career, there have been moments when I’ve felt a tension between therapy and music as if I needed to choose one path in order to be fully present or “successful” with one of them. I loved both, but I felt as though I would never reach my full potential in either if I kept splitting my focus between the two.
...And then it hit me—there’s no need to choose! Therapy and music both have healing energy, and they both support each other. The knowledge and experience I gain from the mental health field inspire my lyrics, and the music I create has a healing energy that supports mental wellness.
It was then that I stopped viewing myself in fractured identities. No longer was I a therapist by day and a musician by night. The Songwriting Therapist™ was born and, soon after, the creation of this new website ensued. My niche was defined and my mission as a therapist and a musician were reinforced. My two passions melded together and created an entirely new concept: Songwriting Therapy™.
Services
Through the NoelNeu.com platform, I offer a variety of services, including Individual Therapy, Open Heart Mastery™ (a path toward transformational personal growth), and Songwriting for Wellness™ (the first-ever service offering of Songwriting Therapy™).
I have also created the Music Medicine Cabinet™, a collection of songs written with healing in mind. These songs address a wide variety of mental/emotional issues we face as humans, and they are part of my Open Heart Method™, which is the framework through which I help individuals gain awareness and understanding of their own emotions so that they can live in a more peaceful way.
Through these services and content, I will be doubling down on my mission to help guide others to transform their lives, and I am ecstatic to now be incorporating the power of music in that mission.
I will be regularly releasing helpful content here including wellness tips and methods, meditations, songs and lyrics, and previews of future courses that are in development. If you have not already, I invite you to sign up for the email list in the footer of this page, and you will be among the first to receive my content as it is released.
