"Hello, I am Dr. Harel and I would like to commend you on your courage of taking steps toward transformation and change. Your acknowledgement of the need for change makes you into an excellent client. My clinical experiences shows that we are our own biggest obstacle on the path toward the life we truly want, whether it is deeply fulfilling relationships and marriages, satisfying and exciting careers, vibrant health, etc. The moment we totally commit to our own wellbeing with intention to do whatever it takes to live our best life, we have completed fifty percent of the journey. It is that simple."

"As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life."

"I am a licensed psychologist with 20 years of broad clinical experience including in UCLA Hospital and Cedars Sinai Medical Center. In both Individual and Marriage Counseling, I will work with you to understand how ordinary life events as well as unusual stressors, losses and traumas can have an impact on your emotional well being. Together we work to expand on your inner strength, your self-awareness, and help you make meaningful, desired, long-lasting changes. By living more authentically and cultivating a compassionate understanding of yourself, you can begin a path towards a more satisfying life with more satisfying relationships."

"Nothing is more important than the way you feel. Thoughts, emotions and perceptions shape the way we interact with the world and how the world, in turn, interacts with us. As a therapist my goal is to guide my clients to a state of empowerment where they can find themselves living an authentic and rewarding life. Part of therapy is discovering your individual potential for growth through self-reflection. I believe therapy is about learning how to become intimate with yourself, so that you can be more in harmony with those around you."

Life can be painful and challenging; my goal is to provide a space that feels safe and non-judgmental in order to experiment with new ways of thinking, gain insight, and have a happier, healthier, and fuller life."

Using evidence-based approaches, Sara draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness and humanistic psychology to help clients move forward in meaningful ways.

"As a psychotherapist, I have a commitment to change. Therefore my approach is attuned to each treatment unit's specific needs. I place value on connecting with others, building strong work alliances, and collaborating on therapeutic goals. My intention is to help clients learn to cope in healthy ways, overcome challenges, and breakthrough barriers in order to realize their full potential."

"Therapy is facing the challenges of life head-on with the right tools and resources. That starts with clarifying who you are, where you want to go, and how you want to get there. After that, focusing on well-being, mental and emotional health, and physical wellness is seamless."

"A good time to begin therapy is when you feel that the pattern of your life has become negative and self-defeating, and you wish to achieve greater fulfillment. Our focus in therapy will be augmenting your depth of self-awareness and personal growth. I look forward to speaking with you."

"For individuals: Do you often find yourself worried or "in your head"? Do you find yourself being taken advantage of or having difficulty asserting yourself? Do you avoid confrontation or feel uncomfortable in social situations? Perhaps you even have frustrating physical symptoms. If you can relate to any of these inquiries, I can help. Individual work with me is tailored to your specific needs but often focuses on learning how to: manage anxiety, set and maintain boundaries, build comfort with asserting yourself, grow self-confidence, and challenge the doubts and insecurities that keep you from living a happy, full life."

"This is your first step to gaining relief. Therapy is a place to begin healing and achieve personal growth. I will work hard to provide a safe, non-judgemental, supportive space where you can begin to better understand yourself and work through challenges that are interfering with your life and happiness. Together, we can explore your present and past in order to help you understand your behaviors, patterns, and relationships. From this understanding change begins."
