Frequently Asked Questions

Clinical Therapy Services

Our clinical services include individual, couples, and family therapy. With couples, our approach is predominantly rooted in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), which identifies relational patterns, deepens emotional connection, and helps resolve core distress. With individuals, we draw on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to build practical skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. As needed, we also incorporate other evidence-based methods to support parenting goals, manage family conflict, and provide strategic guidance through complex family situations.

We are an out-of-network provider. We supply the documentation you need for reimbursement, and many clients with out-of-network benefits receive partial or full reimbursement, depending on their plan.

Sessions typically run 45 to 60 minutes, depending on the client’s needs, preferences, and the nature of the work.

Sessions are currently offered only virtually through a secure telehealth platform.

Therapy services are currently available to clients located in New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut, in accordance with state licensing requirements. We can also serve clients located in Israel.

The length of therapy varies from person to person. Some clients benefit from short-term, focused work, while others find ongoing therapy more helpful for long-term growth and support.

A good fit depends on your goals and the type of support you are seeking. An initial session gives you the opportunity to understand the process, ask questions, and determine whether the approach feels right for you.

You can reach out through the contact form or schedule an initial consultation. From there, we’ll discuss your goals together and determine the best next steps.

Rabbinic & Leadership Support

Rabbinic & Leadership Support is a structured, preventative approach to helping rabbis and community leaders manage the unique demands of their roles. It focuses on long-term effectiveness, clarity, and personal sustainability in positions that carry constant responsibility, visibility, and emotional engagement.

No. Rabbinic & Leadership Support is not therapy and is not a substitute for clinical mental health treatment. It is a professional support service that may include assessment, consultation, and strategic guidance. When appropriate, individuals may be encouraged to pursue therapy separately, and referral or coordination can be provided.

This work addresses the ongoing pressures of leadership, including emotional exposure, boundary challenges, decision fatigue, family impact, and communal expectations. It also supports leaders in navigating transitions and conflict, and in managing the cumulative strain of being consistently relied upon by others.

Leadership roles in the rabbinic and communal world often lack built-in structures for reflection and support. Unlike other professions where supervision and consultation are standard, many leaders operate without consistent frameworks for maintaining their own well-being. This model is designed to fill that gap with sustainable, ongoing support.

The process typically begins with a structured assessment, including guided conversations and tools that help identify areas such as burnout risk, leadership load, boundary pressure, and family system stress. The goal is to build a clear picture of current demands and sustainability risks.

Based on the assessment, a customized support plan is developed. This may include coaching, strategic guidance, therapy referral when appropriate, boundary-setting strategies, and organizational recommendations, all tailored to the specific needs of the individual or institution.

No. Support can be provided to individual leaders, rabbinic couples, or institutions. Synagogues and organizations may benefit from guidance on leadership expectations, role clarity, and long-term sustainability planning.

Organizations can receive advisory support to strengthen leadership structures. This may include education on leadership load, boundary clarity, crisis response frameworks, and succession planning. The emphasis is on system-level support, not on evaluating individuals.

Yes. Individual work is handled with strict discretion. When institutional feedback is provided, it is shared only at a high level, without personal or sensitive details unless explicitly authorized.

Yes. Rabbinic & Leadership Support is available virtually and can be accessed by individuals and institutions regardless of location.
