About Hadass
Dr. Hadass Harel offers therapy grounded in trauma-focused work and attachment-informed care. She is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with three decades of clinical experience. She draws on practical methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, and relationship difficulties. Her approach aims to be straightforward and compassionate for those looking for steady support.
She has worked across continents in settings that include conflict zones, human trafficking response, and urban communities. That range has shaped how she recognizes the effects of trauma on mood, memory, behavior, and relationships. Sessions typically address symptoms such as panic, dissociation, depression, anger, eating issues, and difficulties with intimacy or trust.
Her work blends attachment-based ideas with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. She also uses EMDR and hypnotherapy as part of trauma-focused treatment when appropriate. In practice she helps people build coping skills, reframe unhelpful thinking patterns, and repair strained connections with others.
She understands the added strain of medical illness, chronic pain, caregiving stress, and grief. She also addresses concerns tied to adoption and foster care, abandonment, codependency, and communication problems. People facing life changes, career pressures, or compassion fatigue may find practical strategies and emotional support here.

Approaches for online trauma and attachment work
Dr. Harel uses attachment-based ideas to help people understand how early relationships shape present reactions. That work looks at patterns in connection and trust, and it helps people change how they relate to others and to themselves.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems because it teaches concrete coping skills and step-by-step behavior change.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will discuss goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up in daily life to decide what methods to try. Sessions can evolve over time as needs change, and choices are reviewed together.
