West Hollywood Couples Therapy Clinic
Nurturing intimate relationship and happy marriage are so important for our joy, vitality and wellbeing. Many of us are fully invested in sustaining the intimate connection with our beloved. However, sometimes we need a little help to reconnect, reignite the spark and remove the obstacles on our way to the love we want.

West Hollywood Couples Clinic was established to help you do just that. Initially we focused on serving solely the diverse and vibrant Los Angeles gay and LGBTQI+ community. However, over the years, many of our straight allies and friends joined the ranks of our satisfied and empowered clients. At this time our mission expanded to create an inclusive and safe space for individuals of all walks of life and couples of all configurations.

West Hollywood Couples Therapy Clinic is proud to offer a wide array of counseling and therapy services for Los Angeles LGBTQI+ community as well as the community of our allies and friends. All of the therapy services described below are available online. The online therapy sessions are encrypted and secure, allowing you the full scope of confidentiality similar to in-person counseling.
Awareness - The first Power-Step is an evaluation that is geared toward gaining awareness and insight into the current situation that brought you in. Here our goal is to understand past and present patterns, and to determine the root cause(s) of current challenges.

It is during this step that we also clearly define the ultimate goal for our work together, as well as the evidence procedure, which will show us that our work has been a total success.The Awareness Power-Step is a crucial step that identifies both the problem and the solution.
Harel helped me in more ways than I could have ever expected. I thought it would have taken years of work to try to get to where we've arrived but after only about 3 months I feel the world of difference has been made already and the course of my life has been solidified to unfold the way it's supposed to.

Coming from a multi-ethnic family and growing up in turbulent places all over the globe, I developed a profound interest in human psyche and the desire to understand what makes us tick. Throughout my undergraduate studies in Israel, and later, during my graduate work in USA, I explored the field of psychology in search of therapy approaches that work well and work fast.

Dr. Harel is amazing. He is kind, flexible, understanding and professional. It can be difficult to make the decision to get help from a therapist, but from our very first call, Harel made it easy. He is very sensible, soothing and willing to work with you and your budget, schedule and time. During the sessions, he won't sit there and say "uh-huh, yes, sure" -- he actually gives you concrete feedback and helps you understand what you need to and fast. I saw Dr. Harel during a particularly stressful time in my life, and in just 5 sessions, he gave me the tools I needed to get from where I was to

I felt my experience was very helpful and I am glad I pushed myself to go. I learned a lot and felt very comfortable working with Dr. Harel. I was new to therapy and wasn't sure about it but I am so glad I went. Dr. Harel was so knowledgeable, professional and I benefitted very much from that. I would definitely recommend him!

I'd recommend him to anyone who's in need of a therapist in LA or anywhere for that matter.
