Meet Therapist Libby Nogel
Welcome! I'm so glad you're here.
Are you feeling at a crossroads in your life — uncertain about which direction to take, or wondering how to move forward when everything feels like unchartered territory?
​
Maybe you’re navigating a major life transition, like the early months of parenthood, the end of a relationship, trying to conceive or grow your family, or feeling a shift in identity or purpose. These moments can leave anyone feeling lost, overwhelmed, or disconnected from ourselves. You don’t have to face that uncertainty alone.
​
At Open Road Therapy, I specialize in helping people through life’s turning points — those times when the road ahead feels unclear, but you know you’re ready for a change. My approach is rooted in compassionate and evidence-based care, that focuses on meeting you where you are, without judgment or pressure. Together, we’ll make sense of the changes you’re experiencing, uncover your strengths, and determine the tools you need to move forward with confidence and clarity.
​
My goal is to empower you to embrace change, find resilience in the face of challenge, and reconnect with your sense of meaning and purpose. This work is a journey — one we’ll take together, at your pace.
​
Let’s begin charting a course toward healing, growth, and the life you’re ready to create.​
I might be a good fit for you if...
​​​​​
-
You're experiencing anxiety - whether that looks like excessive worry, restlessness, difficulty sleeping, fatigue, or difficult concentrating
-
You've been feeling down, and are experiencing loss of interest in activities you previously enjoyed, fatigue, a sense of worthlessness, or mood disturbances
-
You're on a journey to build your family - whether that looks like trying to conceive unassisted, undergoing fertility treatments and you're looking for additional support
-
You're a new mom or recently had a baby and are navigating postpartum anxiety, depression, or looking for support as you navigate this new normal
-
You're facing a big change in your life and are looking for a space to help you process and cope with these changes - whether that's challenges in your relationship, job loss, etc.

Getting Started
Looking to get started with therapy? Here's what you can expect:
1.
Initial Consultation
I offer free, 15-minute phone consultations. My goal for this call is to hear more about what brings you to therapy, what you're looking for in a therapist, and identify if we'd be a good fit. We can book your first session during this call, or you can take the time to think about it and reach out to me after.
2.
Intake Session
Your first session will be 50 minutes and we will go into more detail on your mental health history, current symptoms, and goals for therapy. Prior to this appointment, you will fill out some initial paperwork that will guide some of our conversation. My goal for this session is to make you feel comfortable, seen, and heard.
3.
Regular Appointments
In your intake session, we will discuss a cadence for appointments that aligns with your needs and goals. These regular therapy sessions will include working on those goals, learning new coping skills, and providing you with a safe space to process what's happening in your life and make sense of your emotions.
Take the First Step Forward
Life rarely follows a straight path. There are unexpected turns, steep climbs, and moments when the road ahead feels unclear. At Open Road Therapy, I’m here to walk beside you as you navigate those changes — helping you find clarity, courage, and a renewed sense of direction along the way.
Whether you’re feeling stuck navigating the unknown, adjusting to a new phase of life, or simply longing to reconnect with yourself, this is a space where you can pause, breathe, and begin to explore what’s next. Together, we’ll work toward greater balance, self-understanding, and purpose — one step at a time.
If you’re ready to take that first step, I’d be honored to join you on your journey. The road may be winding, but you don’t have to travel it alone.
