Tzippy Preil, LCSW's style

Why Tzippy Preil, LCSW chose to be in the helping profession

Every profession has much to contribute to others, and therapy is no exception. The therapeutic relationship creates a space that is uniquely its own, offering a calm and non-judgmental environment where individuals can explore and work through some of the most challenging aspects of their lives. These are often topics they may not feel comfortable discussing with others, or that would not be appropriate to share outside of this space. In therapy, individuals are met with support and understanding, allowing them to confront difficult emotions safely and authentically.

Through this process, not only do clients feel heard and validated, but they also begin to restore a sense of equanimity, peace of mind, and hope. Therapy provides an opportunity to gain perspective, develop resilience, and reconnect with one’s inner strength. Each session becomes a step toward clarity and balance, creating lasting tools that extend beyond the therapy room. The work done in this space honors both the complexity of human experience and the capacity for growth and healing.

Tzippy Preil, LCSW's approach

I take a collaborative approach with my clients, believing that while I am trained in the field, you are the expert on yourself. The work we do together is designed to help you feel that you are leading your own life, making choices that reflect your values and priorities. Your insights, suggestions, and feedback guide the process at every step, ensuring that therapy is tailored to your needs and experiences.

To support this, I draw from a variety of modalities, allowing us to find the approaches that best suit you. The ultimate goal of our work is for you to feel confident in your ability to navigate challenging situations, trust your own judgment, and carry the tools you gain into everyday life. Together, we create a space where you are empowered to grow, make decisions with clarity, and build resilience that lasts beyond our sessions.

What you can expect from sessions with Tzippy Preil, LCSW

Creating a space of trust, honesty, and safety looks different for everyone. Not many places can truly provide an environment that meets each person’s unique needs. As a therapist, I have the opportunity to offer a personalized space where clients can feel seen, heard, and understood without judgment. This begins by meeting each individual exactly where they are—emotionally, psychologically, physically, physiologically, and spiritually.

Together, we develop an individualized plan aimed at reaching your desired outcomes while fostering lasting healing and meaningful connections. The work we do honors your experience and builds a foundation for growth that extends beyond the therapy room. Every session is designed to help you feel supported, empowered, and equipped to navigate life with greater clarity and resilience.

Tzippy Preil, LCSW's experience working with the Jewish community

Since I began working, I have had the privilege of supporting individuals from a wide range of backgrounds and religions. This broad experience has strengthened my clinical skills and deepened my understanding of the diverse ways people experience challenges. Still, there is something uniquely meaningful about working within my own community, where I can connect on a shared cultural and personal level.

Many people face pain that feels impossible to handle alone, yet with support, they find the strength to navigate it. Being present for others during these times is both an honor and a privilege, and I am grateful to walk alongside clients as they work through life’s most difficult moments. This work allows for real connection, growth, and the restoration of hope and resilience.
