Bipolar-informed therapist profile
James T. Noftle, LMFT, EdD
Long Beach, CA
My career as a classroom teacher, assistant principal and university professor served me well in my current practice as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I earned my Doctorate in Education (Ed.D.) from Nova Southeastern University. Having worked with thousands of clients over 14 years in hospital, private practice, and group-clinical settings, clients appreciate my empathy, passion, and clinical judgment. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, and sex therapy. My philosophy: clients do not care what you teach them until they know you care about them.
