Counseling, or therapy, is a professional relationship with a trained, licensed mental health expert who provides a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space for you to explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Unlike talking to a friend, a therapist offers objective perspectives, specialized techniques, and evidence-based strategies to help you gain insight, develop coping skills, and achieve specific goals.

Consulting at Hineni focuses on supporting organizations, teams, and professionals in areas like communication, leadership development, conflict resolution, and fostering healthy work environments. Businesses, non-profits, and individuals in leadership roles can benefit from our expertise in human dynamics to enhance productivity, morale, and strategic growth.

If you're experiencing persistent emotional distress, relationship difficulties, significant life transitions, or feel stuck in personal or professional patterns, counseling can provide clarity and tools for change. For organizations, if you're facing communication breakdowns, team friction, leadership challenges, or striving for greater efficiency and employee well-being, consulting can offer tailored solutions. A brief consultation call can help determine if our services are a good fit.

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other. I'll discuss your reasons for seeking support, gather some background information, answer any questions you have, and begin to explore your goals for therapy. It's a space for you to share openly and determine if Hineni is the right fit for you.

Standard counseling sessions are typically 50-55 minutes long. Consulting session lengths can vary based on the scope of the project. The frequency of sessions (e.g., weekly, bi-weekly) will be discussed and decided collaboratively based on your needs and goals.

The duration of services varies greatly depending on your goals and the complexity of the issues. Some clients benefit from short-term, solution-focused work (a few months), while others prefer longer-term support for deeper exploration and sustained growth. We'll regularly assess your progress and adjust our plan as needed.

Here's a breakdown of our fees:

-Individual therapy sessions are $150 for the initial 55-minute session. $125 per 55-minute session thereafter.

-Couples therapy sessions are $165 for the initial 60-minute session. $145 per 60-minute session thereafter.

I accept insurance for tele-health services only. I am currently in-network with select insurance plans for tele-health sessions. Please contact me to verify if your specific plan is accepted for tele-health.

For all in-person sessions, I operate as an out-of-network provider. I can provide you with a superbill that you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. I recommend contacting your insurance provider directly to understand your out-of-network benefits for mental health services.

For all services (tele-health and in-person), I also accept direct payment via cash, credit, or debit card. Payment is due at the time of service.

Absolutely. Confidentiality is a cornerstone of my practice. What you share in sessions is protected by law and professional ethical standards. There are very limited exceptions to confidentiality (e.g., if there is a risk of harm to yourself or others, or in cases of suspected child/elder abuse), which will be thoroughly reviewed during your initial intake.
