Pnina Braun (Nina Reiss)'s style

Why Pnina Braun (Nina Reiss) chose to be in the helping profession

You want your life filled with passion, joy, and meaning in personal goals, career, and treasured relationships. As an adult or a child, you want to know that you matter and you are loved, valued and accepted. You want to lift the weights of stress, frustration, hurt, and despair. I know what it is like to want more out of life, want to have a voice to be seen as we did not get all our needs met as children, and to want to let go of shame in the process of humbly being seen for our true greatness. Take the reins to steer your life on a new path to achieve your dreams, enhance your love life, and develop positive connections with oneself and others.

I work with clients from all backgrounds within different sects of the Jewish Community at large and come from an open-minded stance for people to feel safe wherever they are holding. I value connecting to clients in the Jewish Community where their spirituality background plays a role in the topics addressed in therapy. It feels good to connect to my clients on this deeper level of understanding by having the shared background.
