Applying theoretical application into practice varies from person to person as I assess, analyze, and evaluate the “self” through one on one counseling, therapy, observation, active listening, communication, surveys, and much more through clinical intervention and exploration. My main focus is YOU within a deep, empathic, and respectful atmosphere TOGETHER we can discover who the “SELF” truly is. Displaying a welcoming non- judgmental environment while setting the primary goal to establish a therapeutic alliance through confidentiality, empathic understanding, unconditional positive regard, respect, and dignity.

Hello! I am Nora Jaffal, a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in supporting children, teenagers, and adults. Currently, I'm advancing my expertise through a Doctorate program focusing on Child and Adolescent Psychology.

One of the greatest gifts you can give yourself is a therapeutic experience that allows you a sacred place to gain support, perspective, healing, and most importantly, freedom. I have a passion for helping clients through their journey to healthy healing and emotional wellness. I provide a space for clients to transform their obstacles into resilience, hope, and success.

Sometimes all we really want and need is someone to listen to us, allow us to feel our pain, allow us to feel heard, allow us to be human. Cherly Richardson once said, “People start to heal the moment they feel heard.” I believe that creating a safe space to be your true self without judgment is essential to healing and growing.

Life can often feel like an uphill battle, struggling to meet the many demands before us that can easily drain our energy and our joy. I have witnessed firsthand in both my professional and my personal life the ways in which life struggles can affect our mental health, and how mental health struggles can impact our ability to manage daily stressors and relationships. Seeking therapy can be a difficult step to take. I see therapy as a tool, among many, to support and create the change you desire for your life. I love guiding my clients as they learn to highlight their strengths, welcome new perspectives, and learn new ways to cope.

We all want to be healthier versions of ourselves and improve our overall wellbeing. Most of the time we tend to concentrate only on focusing on our physical health. While this is important it's not the only component of well-being we should be improving. To achieve lasting health we need to understand the importance of the body, mind and soul and how they work together to build our overall wellbeing. A healthy body keeps you well and active, a healthy mind keeps you focused and engaged, a healthy soul keeps you fulfilled and content.

You won't hear "It's going to be okay, I know how you feel, you will get over it" when you come to me. I understand that the hour you pay for is your hour and you will get the chance to say whatever it is that you want to say guilt-free. Saying things out loud to a trained listener will help you understand your world view in a different way. In turn, you will develop insight and coping skills.

Opening up to someone is not always easy, especially if it is someone you do not know. In sessions, we work together to build a therapeutic relationship so you can feel at ease and comfortable sharing your experiences with me. You will always feel supported and cared for in our sessions. I will lend an ear when you need it most.

I have a passion for working with children, adolescents, and young adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, and attention. I strive to help individuals overcome their challenges, set goals, and navigate setbacks along by using emotion-focused therapeutic skills and techniques. You can count on me to create a safe place that nurtures thoughts, feelings, and healing.

I know how scary it can feel to take the first step and start therapy. That is why creating a safe, comfortable experience for all of my clients is my top priority. I view the therapeutic relationship as one where I walk alongside of my clients on their journey of healing. Through this journey, we will work on finding solutions to your current issues, and exploring the root of your long standing thought patterns and feelings.

As an immigrant woman, I bring a non-traditional perspective to therapy, shaped by my own experiences.

We envision a world where people from minority groups are able to heal from the emotional scars inflicted by systemic discrimination, poverty, unjust persecution, and marginalization. Healing from intergenerational trauma is a crucial step toward achieving individual and collective wellness. We resonate with author Akshay Dubey that the path to healing doesn't erase the experiences that caused us harm, but rather allows us to move beyond them and live with newfound strength and purpose. At R&B Counseling, we believe in your strength, resilience, and ability to heal and thrive.
