Dr. Hadass Harel

Dr. Hadass Harel has partnered her clients' recovery from Complex Traumatic Stress for over 30 years, her entire adult life. She worked in War Zones and Disaster Areas, with trafficked individuals and refugees, with veterans and first responders, in several foreign continents and in our local inner cities of Massachusetts, where she is clinically licensed since 1995.

Dr Harel is intimately familiar with the emotional and somatic aftermaths of a traumatic early life, such as Anxiety, Hypervigilance, a poor ability to Self-Regulate, Addictions, Anger, Depression and Violence - As well as failures of the immune, endocrine and metabolic system.

She was blessed to receive a pre-doctoral C.A.G.S. and multiple years of Supervision under Dr. Bessel van der Kolk at the Boston Trauma Center. She then received her PhD from Lesley University, in Cambridge, MA, and studied and taught in Varanasi and Kolkata, India, researching with indigenous priests, temple dancers and icon makers, and at the Dalai Llama's temple in Dharamsala - and later also researched and taught in Africa, Israel Mexico and Europe.

Dr. Harel is a firm believer that a greater degree of insight - some restoration of trust in Yourself - plus a measure of Healing - is a Right, and possible and available to anyone as a result of Therapeutic Work.

And that that it is our role, as therapists. To hold open the space which will permit such New Choices and Narratives of Recovery to form for you.

And although everyone's Journey is Individual, and of a different shape, direction and length, Dr. Harel possesses great tools like DBT and CBT, EMDR, NLP, Narrative Therapy, Jungian and Archetypal Work, and others, which she would love to let you borrow - So just ask her.

A relief.

Improvement.

An easier time maintaining and coping with symptoms, at a skin-and-fingertip-sensation-and-toes-in-the-ground level.

A safe space, and a Witnessing as we process that.

And a greater sense of insight, awareness, and presence.

More enthusiasm for life,

Sense of burdens alleviated.

And then, of course, come more Choices and Possibilities
