(He/Him/His)
Hypnotherapist, Psychologist, Psychotherapist
Dr. Harel specializes in couples therapy, trauma, anxiety, & depression, and has 15 years of experience working with diverse BIPOC and LGBT clients.
I am Dr. Harel and it is a pleasure to have you stop by. In the past 15 years, I have worked with clients and couples from all walks of life, guiding them toward a fuller and more empowered version of themselves. I see individual and couples therapy as a process of exploration, integration, learning, growth, and self-empowerment. It would be my honor to be your guide on this journey, The methods I use in my practice are a combination of talk therapy, cognitive work, hypnotherapy, guided imagery, mindfulness, and skill-building. Each of us is unique and together we find the tools and methods that work best for you. Overall, the psychotherapy process with me is both brief and intensive. My individual clients, for the most part, tend to reach their goals within about 2 months of weekly sessions, while couples therapy takes somewhere between 3-4 months on average. Your success, is, of course, my success. I bring my 100% of dedication, attention and expertise to every single session in hopes that you will do the same. To learn more, call or text for a free phone consultation. I am looking forward to connecting with you!
