Frequently Asked Questions

What is NLP Counseling?

Typically, this is how I work. In the first session, we clarify exactly what the issue or issues are that you want to change. Why do you want to change them? How, specifically, are they interfering in your life? What has been preventing you from making these changes? NLP has very effective language patterns that can help the counselor get the answers to these questions.

The next step is to establish a goal: How, specifically, do you want to be different than you are now?

In future sessions, if you are having difficulty achieving your goal, we explore what obstacles are blocking you and work on how to overcome them.

NLP also has visualization techniques that can help people change patterns of thinking and behavior in order to achieve their objectives.

In my counseling, I use NLP together with other approaches and techniques that I have learned over many years of working with people.

What kinds of problems do you help people with?

I work with people who are having difficulty making changes or achieving what is important to them. This can include problems involving relationships, communication, self-confidence, motivation, habits, personal development, and other situations in which a person feels stuck or is not functioning as well as they would like.

NLP can be very effective and surprisingly fast in helping people overcome and even be cured of a phobia. I know this not only from my experience working with clients, but from my own experience with the NLP Phobia Model.

How many sessions will it take?

NLP is considered a short-term approach. The number of sessions needed depends on the complexity of the problem, how motivated the person is to make changes, and whether there are multiple issues involved. After the first meeting I can usually give the person an estimate of how many sessions will be needed.

What is your fee for a private session?

A 50-minute session is 320 NIS or $120.

Shorter sessions on the phone or on Zoom are prorated. This also applies when I work with teenagers for whom a 50 minute session is too long.

Sliding scale rates are available.

Do you offer a free consultation?

Yes. I offer a free 20-minute consultation so that we can briefly discuss what you would like help with and you can decide whether my approach would be helpful for you.

Who do you work with, and where?

I work with adults and teenagers, men and women. My office is in Jerusalem. However, I also work on Zoom and on the phone with people outside of Jerusalem and outside Israel. English is my native language and I speak Hebrew fluently. I do private counseling sessions and seminars in both English and Hebrew.

What are your credentials?

I have been a Yeshiva Rebbe and have counseled students for over 35 years. In 1996 I began studying NLP. In 1997 I became certified as an NLP Practitioner. In 1998 I was certified as an NLP Master Practitioner and opened a private practice. In 1999 I began teaching seminars and workshops. I consulted with and was supervised by an experienced Clinical Psychologist who also taught me principles of Logotherapy. I have Rabbinic Ordination ("Smicha") from Rav Zalman Nechemia Goldberg Z"L. I have a B.A. from Kenyon College (1974), Ohio, USA.
