For Professionals
Somewhere responsible to refer.
Therapists, rabbis, treatment professionals, interventionists, clinicians, coaches. People trust you. They come to you when they don't know where else to turn — and increasingly, they are asking about alternative healing. Tikkun Ha'Nefesh is somewhere responsible to send them, and a network for practitioners who hold themselves to the same standard.
Two ways to work with us
An independent referral
The right next step may be Tikkun. It may also be somewhere else.
Our job is not to put everyone into one of our programs. Our job is to help someone understand what kind of support makes sense and, whenever possible, connect them with the right person or place — a therapist, a psychiatrist, a treatment center, a coach, an integration specialist, or an outside practitioner.
Referring someone
What your referral enters.
-
A complete process
When you refer someone to us, they enter through Tikkun Path: Intake & Screening, Preparation & Support, Integration & Endurance. They are held throughout.
-
Clinical guidance
Faith Niece, M.A., LMHC, LMFT, CSAT, CMAT, provides our clinical framework and guidance. We screen every participant before placement.
-
Torah alignment throughout
Every healer has been evaluated against our halachic vetting standard. Rabbi Yosef Sonnenschein provides rabbinic and halachic guidance. Spiritual integrity is built into every placement.
-
You stay in the loop
With the participant's consent, we keep referring providers informed throughout the process.
