Noam Dinovitz
My philosophy is that therapy is more than just giving you a space to talk; therapy is about getting you results. If you are working through symptoms of depression, lack of motivation, anxiety or self-esteem issues we'll work on getting a good understanding of it, tools to manage it and perspectives to address it. Whether you've been feeling down or simply trying to figure yourself out, progress and relief are your ultimate goal and we're going to work on that together. My focus is on helping you figure out your next step, learn the next tool, or develop the new insight that will help you get to where you’d like to be. I collaborate with you to make sure your goals are being met. You and I will check in with each other often to make sure we are moving in the direction you'd like! I take a Client-Centered approach and utilize the latest advancements in mental health care to treat clients as individuals with unique needs. What that means is that I will meet you where you're at by prompting you with exploratory questions and then also provide you with practical feedback/interventions/techniques to help you facilitate the changes you're looking to make. Bettering yourself can start today!

I have experience in helping clients with relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse in individual modality, & career difficulties. I work primarily with married couples, providing both premarital and post-marital services in a specific protocol. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am glad you are getting started! The purpose of my services is to provide counseling and treatment, however I am unable to provide services of disability related, as I am not trained, certified nor an expert in this area. As a final note, please understand that if you are driving a vehicle and not parked, sitting in a public restaurant or other public area, or using alcohol or other substances during our session and possibility you may be charged for a missed appointment, I will respectfully request for your session to be rescheduled. Further, I request for individuals and couples to strive to use headphones that are not Bluetooth, but are wired, for your protection of your privacy. On a note of clarification, as this format is not conducive to certain issues, this provider will refer to either another provider or a higher level of care. For example, if there is any emotional, physical/DV, sexual or financial abuse, high conflict or fights, which includes any potentiality of violence. On this forum I offer Brief Solution Focused Therapy and not long term therapy. If a couple is trying to determine whether or not to continue the relationship or marriage, this is better served with a different type of service, perhaps mediation, chaplain services, or even an individual modality. As this may be against the Code of Ethics, this provider cannot assist with determining whether to continue a relationship or marriage. Thank you, in advance, for understanding the nature of my services and for sharing your journey with me.
