Tzvi Hilsenrath's style

Why Tzvi Hilsenrath chose to be in the helping profession

Growing up in a family that valued helping others, it felt natural for me to follow in their footsteps. With a grandfather as a rabbi, a father as a principal, and a mother as a teacher, I knew that I too wanted to pursue a profession in the helping field. Although I didn't consciously choose to become a therapist, I found myself naturally gravitating toward this field. Meeting with clients was a transformative experience for me and I knew from the start that this was the path I wanted to follow. While I've held various social work jobs, including case manager and nursing home social worker, my ultimate goal was always to work in private practice as a psychotherapist. Helping people live their lives to the fullest is the most rewarding job I can imagine, and I feel fortunate to be able to do so every day.

Tzvi Hilsenrath's approach

Life is a journey filled with a multitude of emotions - love, happiness, pain, and suffering. And it is the art of navigating through the tough times to reach a place of joy, fulfillment, and meaning that makes life worth living. However, this journey isn't always easy. It is full of obstacles, uncertainties, and struggles that can leave us feeling lost, alone, and overwhelmed.

That's where therapy comes in. Therapy is a powerful tool that can help us heal and grow within the context of a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental therapeutic relationship. As a therapist, I prioritize building a strong, empathetic, and trusting connection with my clients. I want them to know that they are not alone and that they have a partner in their journey toward healing.

To help my clients navigate their unique challenges, I use an eclectic approach that blends cognitive-behavioral, rational-emotive, and mind-body therapies, such as art therapy and somatic therapy. This approach allows me to tailor my techniques to meet each client's specific needs and goals. Whether my clients are struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, shame, or life-stage transitions, I strive to create a safe and supportive space where they can explore their emotions, beliefs, and behaviors.

My ultimate goal as a therapist is to empower my clients to overcome their challenges, tap into their inner resources, and live a more authentic, fulfilling, and meaningful life. I believe that every person has the capacity for growth, change, and healing, and I feel honored to be a part of that transformative journey.

What you can expect from sessions with Tzvi Hilsenrath

When you come to our therapy sessions, you can expect to be met with a warm and supportive therapist who is genuinely curious about your experiences. Together, we'll explore the ways in which the challenges you're facing are negatively impacting your life, as well as how your strengths and resources can help you push back against them. By working together, we'll create a plan that focuses on addressing the negative aspects of your experiences while expanding the positive ones. One of the most important things I ask of my clients is that they bring their natural and authentic selves to our sessions, as this is key to establishing a trusting and effective therapeutic relationship. Ultimately, my goal is to help you tap into your inner resilience and create a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

Tzvi Hilsenrath's experience working with the Jewish community

Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with a diverse range of individuals within the Jewish community. This has included supporting young men with special needs, working with children who are facing emotional and academic challenges, and helping older adults navigate significant life-stage transitions. Today, I continue to work with adults from both Ashkenazi and Sephardic backgrounds, drawing upon my experience and understanding of the unique cultural and spiritual dimensions of the Jewish community. My commitment to serving this community remains steadfast, and I feel honored to be able to make a positive impact in the lives of those I serve.
