About Hadass
Dr. Hadass Harel uses trauma-focused, experience-informed care as the basis of her work. She is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with three decades of clinical experience.
She offers straightforward support for people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, grief, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. She draws on methods that help people understand patterns from early attachment and trauma. That includes approaches that address painful memories, reduce overwhelming emotions, and teach concrete coping skills.
How Hadass works
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with practical steps clients can try between visits. Her practice pays close attention to how medical illness, chronic pain, and caregiving stress affect mood and relationships. She also helps people dealing with adoption and foster care issues, abandonment concerns, body image struggles, and communication problems.
Concerns such as bipolar disorder, ADHD, and eating or substance-related problems are also within her focus areas. Dr. Harel works in English and Hebrew and has experience across different cultural settings.
She offers a range of online formats so people can choose what fits their lives. People who contact her can expect direct, calm guidance and a focus on practical change. To begin, a short matching questionnaire connects readers with her profile and scheduling options.
From there, sessions are arranged according to the chosen format and timing that fits each person.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Dr. Harel commonly blends attachment-based work with cognitive behavioral techniques and EMDR when appropriate. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build healthier ways of relating. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and gives practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or EMDR, is a method for processing distressing memories so they feel less overwhelming and disrupt daily life less.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. She will talk with each person about goals, symptom patterns, and preferences, and then recommend ways to proceed. That collaborative planning means methods can be adapted over time as needs change.
Online therapy offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can fit a break at work or reduce bandwidth needs, and messaging or live chat can be useful for brief check-ins and step-by-step coaching. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work across locations.
