Charles "Chuck" Noon

Charles “Chuck” Noon focuses his practice on relationship concerns and family conflict, with experience addressing challenges such as blended-family dynamics, finances, intimacy, and communication. He finds working with distressed couples particularly rewarding and brings a practical, skills-focused approach to help partners reconnect and resolve persistent patterns.

As a United States Air Force veteran, Chuck has a clear appreciation for the stresses that military members and their families can face, and he is also familiar with the law enforcement community. His clinical training includes a master’s degree in Marriage, Family, and Child Counseling and an additional Master of Business Administration, a combination he uses to address both the emotional and pragmatic “business” aspects of marriage and family life.

Chuck developed a structured curriculum over years of practice to improve communication - exchanging listening and respect - understand differences, meet needs, identify strengths, define roles, build intimacy, resolve conflict, and set boundaries against internal and external threats to relationships. He routinely assigns homework and emphasizes managing modern stressors such as technology and social media as essential to shifting the balance back in favor of the relationship.

Working from a family-systems perspective, Chuck often prefers to have the whole family attend the first session so he can learn each member’s role and the family story; he notes that generational legacies can strongly influence current patterns. He is more directive than many therapists and uses Milan Systemic theory as a framework. Early in therapy he asks clients to complete concise problem and goal statements - “The problem that I’m having in my (family, life, relationship, etc.) is...” and “The problem will be better when...” - then refines those statements as insight and progress occur.

Chuck incorporates mindfulness practices drawn from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and lessons from yoga to help clients observe emotions without judgment and stay present. His personal life informs his work: he was married for 29 years, is now divorced and engaged, is part of a blended family with a 28-year-old son who served in the United States Navy and lives on the east coast, and he also experienced the loss of a four-year-old son. Those experiences contribute to his empathy and understanding of loss, transition, and the complexities of family life.

He is licensed to practice in New Mexico as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, a credential that authorizes him to provide clinical counseling (license CCMH0734). He also holds independent professional counselor licenses in Colorado and in Texas. Chuck offers telehealth video sessions and specific messaging availability: his designated day for telehealth video sessions is Tuesday from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm only, and he responds to messaging on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm only. He requires that at least the first session be conducted via videoconference and may continue video until the therapist-client relationship is established; he does not use live chat or phone for sessions.
