Getting to know Yael Harooni

Yael specializes in various areas, including personality disorders, anxiety, ADD, OCD, eating disorders, PTSD, and trauma-related issues. Additionally, she offers tailored counseling for those dealing with bereavement, parenting challenges, relationship dynamics (including couples), and LGBTQ+ concerns. Utilizing evidence-based modalities such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, Yael crafts individualized treatment plans that align with her clients' unique needs and goals. By creating a safe, non-judgmental space, she fosters an environment where clients can openly explore their emotions and experiences. Her ultimate aim is to help clients build resilience, develop effective coping strategies, and cultivate self-awareness. Clients can expect compassionate, client-centered care that empowers them to achieve greater emotional wellness and lead more fulfilling lives. Yael believes in harnessing the power of both traditional and non-ordinary therapeutic modalities, offering a diverse range of techniques that promote profound healing and transformation.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My practice is rooted in compassion, warmth, and a deep commitment to creating a safe, supportive environment. I understand that starting therapy can be intimidating, and I prioritize building a trusting therapeutic relationship from our first meeting. I value each client's unique experiences and perspectives, which informs my client-centered approach. Together, we will explore your specific needs, challenges, and goals, allowing me to tailor a treatment plan that suits you best. My holistic approach encompasses not only psychological aspects but also lifestyle factors, such as nutrition and self-care, which play a vital role in mental health. I am dedicated to empowering you throughout the therapeutic process, ensuring you feel heard and validated in your journey. My goal is to help you cultivate self-awareness, develop effective coping strategies, and achieve a greater sense of emotional well-being. You can expect a collaborative, respectful partnership where your input is valued, and together we will navigate the path to healing.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
My typical process for working with clients begins with an initial assessment, where I take the time to understand your history, concerns, and aspirations for therapy. This foundational step is crucial in developing a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs. Together, we will establish clear, achievable goals to guide our therapeutic journey. Based on your individual circumstances, I will select appropriate non-ordinary modalities that resonate with you, such as hypnosis, meditation, or EMDR. Educating clients about the chosen techniques is essential to empower them and alleviate any apprehensions regarding the therapeutic process. As we engage in our sessions, I will support you in emotional exploration and processing, providing tools to help express and navigate your feelings. I also emphasize the importance of homework and self-care practices to reinforce the work we do together. Throughout our journey, I will maintain open communication, regularly checking in to assess your progress and making any necessary adjustments to our approach. My ultimate aim is to facilitate a transformative experience, helping you achieve the emotional wellness and resilience you seek.

Yael, is a great therapist. She will tell you what she thinks and listen to what you think. She’s very helpful, and I like her because she sees things from a different point of view from me sometimes but it’s never a conflict. And sometimes you need to see things from other peoples point of views. and I have also already suggested her to a few people
