ABOUT Human beings are amazing and we all have amazing potential lying within us. Today more than ever, we are all faced with many difficulties which add to the struggle in uncovering our unique greatness. I believe love is an amazing force that helps propel us in bringing out our true greatness and when a person feels truly loved and cared for it imbues them with strength to reach their dreams and stand up under difficult circumstances of life. My bachelor’s degree is in psychology and I served in the United States Air Force for 6 years. I worked as a recruiter, instructor and IO Psychologist. I left the military to become an elementary school teacher in an inner city school. After teaching for two years, I realized I really wanted to be a therapist. As a Therapist, I have worked in a Community Center with at risk youth and their families, a maximum security prison and in private practice. In my experience, I have seen the most growth when people feel loved and free to share about themselves in a safe, non-judgmental environment. I hope to provide that safe environment for you to reach your greatest potential.

ABOUT If you’re looking for a therapist, you may be feeling low self-esteem, upset by unhealthy relationships, or dealing with unwanted emotions, such as anxiety, anger or sadness. The good news is that your life can be better, and the fact that you’re looking for a therapist means some part of you believes that too. My approach as an insight-oriented therapist is to help you understand your old patterns, explore the possibility of doing things differently, and practice making new choices so that they become second nature. My approach also draws upon the principles of emotion-focused therapy (EFT) to help you recognize, validate, and express your emotions as part of the therapeutic process. Before making aliyah, I graduated summa cum laude with a BA in Psychology from Yeshiva University and earned a PhD in Clinical Psychology from St. John’s University. I also happen to be an ordained rabbi and often work with those from an observant background, but the majority of my work has been with people of varied personal, ethnic, and religious backgrounds, and I welcome clients of all kinds.

ABOUT In my work I provide my patients with a safe, supportive, and accepting environment to explore various areas of their lives. My method is integrative, and includes conversation as well as being mindful towards mental processes and physical sensations and states. What makes my work unique is that I also integrate working with the body and with emotional expression into the psychotherapeutic process, insofar as it fits the patient’s needs. It also impacts their ability to create satisfying connections with their surroundings. I put a special emphasis on exploring the ways in which the patient had to regulate his/her self throughout life in order to overcome difficulties, and how that self regulation manifests presently in all dimensions– emotional, physical, mental, and behavioral. This process enables the patient to lower their emotional, physical and behavioral blocks on the way to self-fulfillment, rediscover their vitality, strengths and passions, and deepen their self-confidence.

ABOUT I am an Art Therapist living in Herzlia and practicing in Herzlia and Tel Aviv. My passions include my family, making art and helping people find their voice through art making and connecting. I provide a safe, non judgmental space for my patients so that they can empower themselves and come to a place of true acceptance. In this place of acceptance and self-love, anything is possible. In my studio in Tel Aviv, we work through difficulties that are often challenging to talk about. Art is used but not always as a way of communication and reflection. One does not need to have any knowledge in Art Making to benefit from Art Therapy. I welcome you to call me or message me to discuss whether I can help with your current difficulties and challenges. My passion for Art Therapy has pushed me to work with various communities, including underprivileged children and teenagers at risk in South Africa, as well as survivors of gender- based violence in Haiti.

ABOUT I am a licensed clinical psychologist and trauma therapist. I’ve worked in many hospitals and clinics in Israel and the U.S., as well as in private practice. My first aim of therapy is to establish a safe place from which you and I, as a team, can observe the inner workings of your body-mind, allowing you to develop a nonjudgmental and compassionate attitude towards yourself and others, as you work towards greater well-being. Early on in the work I will help you identify the obstacles in the way of your life goals. This reestablishes movement towards greater self-fulfillment and the mastery of old fears. We may even succeed in modifying the filters through which you experience relationships, by creating new neural pathways. You will develop skills that help you improve the qualities of your interpersonal relationships. I offer a unified mind-body therapy based on psychodynamic and somatic experiencing (SE) principles. This approach is effective in the regulation and management of stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic pain, and psychophysiological disorders. My practice is gay-friendly, and I have professional experience with people building a family with the assistance of donor insemination.

Therapy can help you work out problems, enrich your life, and bring you inner happiness and fulfillment. My name is Ta’ir Wasserman and I am an Individual, Couples and Sex Therapist and I enjoy working with individuals, teens and adults, families, and couples that are dating, just married, or further along the marital road.

Some problems evolve specifically from issues of intimacy. We will address these issues and learn more about your relationship through them.

ABOUT As a certified sex therapist, I believe that Judaism promotes a healthy and positive outlook on sexuality. I strive to help couples and individuals attain this positive outlook by encouraging open lines of communication and providing appropriate sex education. I help clients work through much of the guilt which, unfortunately, is often associated with exploring one’s sexuality. All too often, young married couples come to my clinics in Givat Shmuel, Jerusalem and Bnei Berak with problems due to a lack of appropriate information. They may have issues that are clearly the byproduct of seeing sexuality as negative or “unclean”. A major focus of my practice has been work with victims of sexual abuse. A highlight of my work over the last few years has been the opportunity to help many victims of childhood sexual abuse regain a sense of control over their sexuality and their adult lives as a whole.

ABOUT Is your child being bullied in school? Bullying can cause anxiety, depression and poor school performance. Bullying is especially common among children of recent Olim, as the Sabras love the opportunity to make fun of their strange accents and poor command of Hebrew. I have been teaching children – and adults – how to stop being bullied for four decades. The Bullies to Buddies Golden Rule System that I developed is a uniquely quick, fun and effective method for improving relationships. I have taught this method to tens of thousands of mental health professionals, and it is being used by major bullying prevention organizations and speakers. Don’t let your children continue suffering from bullying. The solution is simple! As a result, they become happier almost immediately and their academic performance goes up. It is effective for all relationship problems: sibling rivalry, marital conflicts, workplace hostility, even critical mothers-in-law!

ABOUT I believe that the job of a therapist is to help their client make the changes in their life that will enable them to achieve their goals, and be the person they want to be, doing the activities that are important to them. In order to do this, it is important to help the client understand what they are THINKING, FEELING, and DOING in the here and now that is interfering with them accomplishing their goals, AND help them to make effective changes in those domains to move towards their goals. To this end, in addition to traditional Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques, it is extremely important to teach the client about the neuro-biological and psychological processes that are maintaining their current state, and to learn what can be changed, and what needs to be accepted, and how to move on despite uncomfortable situations and feelings.

Before making Aliyah in the summer of 2015 I ran an Adolescent DBT Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for 6 years in Cleveland, Ohio. The DBT IOP was based on an empirically proven treatment targeting adolescent males and females who engage in self-harming, suicidal behavior and/or experience emotional instability. There was a significant range of diagnoses that group serviced, including but not limited to Bipolar Disorder, Depression, Anxiety, Substance Abuse, Eating Disorders, ADHD, and Borderline features. The main objective of the IOP was to teach emotional skills that make adolescents and their families more effective, more competent, and more capable of successfully navigating whatever challenges life throws their way. Group accomplished these goals through a DBT model that addressed core emotional topics such as Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance, Emotion Regulation, Interpersonal Effectiveness, and Walking the Middle Path Skills. In additional to running the IOP, I also ran a school based program for healthy tweens and adolescents using an adapted DBT model. The school based program was geared towards helping healthy youth become more emotionally intelligent using the same core DBT skills. Lastly, I also conduct individual and family based psychotherapy using DBT, as well as more dynamic modalities.

ABOUT Each individual, couple and family has its own unique way of looking at the world and its own special way of coping with life’s challenges. When our customary ways of approaching these challenges no longer work for us, therapy can help fuel our creativity and can help us discover new possibilities for how to go about living our lives.

He helped people see that they are able to transcend any circumstance because they have a neshama, a spirit, that is pure and cannot be touched. He believed that in every person's unique situation, there is meaning and purpose that lies within it. Logotherapy facilitates and helps the person discover their own meaning to their individual circumstance. Shira has a passion to try and understand and help clients. Shira says,'I get inspired seeing just how much Logotherapy helps.'

Most people have tried everything they know to feel better. The decision to enter therapy, requires self awareness and persistence, and often marks a crucial turning point. Each of us has the potential to thrive, but too often obstacles prevent us from living fully. The resulting anguish and suffering deserves to be acknowledged, validated, and understood. This requires the skillful integration of listening, empathy, theoretical knowledge, and, most of all, willingness to fully engage in the process. I am a psychologist with a decade of experience, well-versed in a variety of approaches (Psychodynamic, CBT, Schema Therapy). This offers each person an approach that is individually tailored to his or her unique goals, needs, and challenges. Inherent in the process is an open dialogue in order to maximize the efficacy of our work together. I believe that the combination of insight and hard work with a compassionate and experienced therapist can be healing and yes, life changing.

Languages: English ABOUT As a therapist, I provide a safe and accepting place for clients to explore various areas in their lives, while maintaining clear direction and remaining goal-oriented. I strongly believe that not only is it important to feel validation and empathy from me (which my clients certainly experience!), but also that a client should see and feel tangible progress through the work done together. I have worked extensively with adolescent girls for close to a decade. With my trainings in psychology, life coaching, narrative therapy, and social work, I aim to take an eclectic approach in working with clients. Although I primarily operate from an insight-based model, I reach into my toolbox for various other, directive approaches (such as CBT and DBT) when necessary. I specialize in treating issues surrounding adolescent girls, such as depression, struggles with food, past trauma, and self-esteem, involving parents and the family in a supportive way. I also enjoy working with single women who are experiencing difficulties in dating for marriage, helping them to identify their blocks and providing greater insight. Finally, I have helped women with the transition to married life and the myriad challenges that may arise therein, including healthy communication with a spouse, and struggles with infertility, miscarriages, and stillbirths. I work collaboratively, and view you, the client, as an expert on your own life. I would be honored to join you in your process of self-discovery, as I navigate our journey with sensitivity and care.

ABOUT My name is Eliana and I am a Jerusalem based art therapist with professional experience in both group and individual settings.

ABOUT There are many complexities in families and individuals, and whilst a diagnosis can bring relief, it can also be an obstacle to understanding, especially in relation to children, and to trauma. I believe that the Psycho-analytic model is the best for understanding and when combined with Somatic Experiencing can immediately provide tools to begin healing re-occurring symptoms, such as fears, anxieties and depression. I have over 40 years of experience in the Health service, working with all ages and all kinds of problems, with individuals, couples and families, [Institute of Family Therapy].

I offer a non-threatening, non-stigmatizing setting where children under 10 can express their feelings verbally and non-verbally.

Andrew Freundlich, PhD Psychologist

Office Location: Katamon Jerusalem Phone: 058-782-1914 Ages: Adolescents (ages 16-21), Adults, Couples, Geriatric Languages: English

ABOUT I have been a practicing psychologist in the United States for 40 years treating individuals and couples with a wide range of problems and issues. I have extensive experience treating anxiety disorders, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, marital conflicts, sexual and gender identity issues, and doing therapy with the elderly. I generally follow the Cognitive Behavior Therapy approach to treatment but experience has taught me that it is even more important to match the type of treatment to the client’s personality and presenting problem than to force people to conform to a particular treatment model. Thus, I frequently explore underlying emotional conflicts, historical and childhood issues, and interpersonal or familial conflicts. When focusing on communication in marital therapy, I obviously pay attention to the surface words but mostly work towards identifying the subtle underlying “between the lines” messages that the sender is often unaware of sending or the listener does not hear. Bringing these hidden messages and feelings out into the open usually results in a rekindling of the mutual understanding, respect, and love that attracted the couple to each other in the first place. However, on those occasions when the identified differences are irreconcilable and divorce is unfortunately necessary, I help the couple achieve as amicable a divorce as possible.

ABOUT Adults, couples, adolescents and children need a safe and trusting environment to facilitate the process of insight and change, and to boost their self esteem. I provide a warm, empathetic goal- oriented approach where individuals or couples can explore their feelings, work on interpersonal relationships, and consider options for growth, and emotional well being. As we work together, I strategize with clients about constructive ways to navigate the complex meanings of relationships and to generate new ways of ensuring family harmony and relational effectiveness. I help adults, as individuals, parents or as a couple, feel safe enough to move towards healthier ways of functioning. Adolescents learn to make meaning of their world and identity. Using play therapy techniques, children learn to make sense of their experiences and feelings as we work towards developmentally appropriate goals. While every therapeutic relationship has unique challenges, the common thread to all my relationships is the presence of empathy, compassion and genuine caring.

I excel in educational and psychological testing, child therapy and parenting issues. According to the need, I can work with individuals or families. I use a variety of psychological approaches according to what seems most relevant and likely to be helpful, given the context. I very much believe in “educate youth according (to his or her unique) way.” Yet I have observed that the child’s “way” is often misunderstood, causing “education” to be misapplied. For example, there are numerous reasons why a child might find it hard to “sit quietly” in class, yet the assumed cause is often inaccurate or incomplete, causing inappropriate intervention. In fact, I believe that a person stands to benefit greatly throughout his lifetime from understanding his own unique psycho-social profile. Because of this, I encourage my adult clients to explore their profiles, particularly as they impede success in accomplishing life’s tasks, interpersonal relationships or parenting.

ABOUT I am a Jerusalem-based therapist working with teens, young adults, and adults. I am a strong believer that we have what it takes to heal, and I feel privileged to work with you on the journey of self-discovery and healing that takes place in therapy. My approach is collaborative; together we will identify your goals and the changes you want to make. We will explore the areas in which you feel stuck and obstacles that are blocking you from realizing your potential. I have training in a number of therapeutic modalities (including Internal Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Somatic Experience) and I offer each individual client tools that are uniquely tailored to their needs. Through dialogue and self exploration, therapy works to understand patterns of emotions and behaviors which then enables you to better manage emotions and navigate complex relationships.

ABOUT Johanna Hazan is a narrative therapist, coach and dietary counsellor who specializes in working with issues such as addiction, disordered eating and unhelpful food behaviors, low self-esteem, identity issues and difficulties arising from alterations in spiritual/ religious expression. If there is something in your life that is causing you difficulty or distress, that you don’t seem to be able to process or shift by yourself, be in touch. You can experience life differently, if you want to! Is your relationship with food or with your body causing you distress? Do you find yourself eating, or not eating, in unhealthy ways, because of uncomfortable feelings or confusing emotions? Johanna will work with you to identify what changes you would like to make, offer you dietary analysis to work out where your nutrition can be improved and support you to process the thoughts and feelings causing you to act out with food. Using a narrative approach to therapy, Johanna will help you to identify the things that are standing against your goals and your values; and together you will explore alternative narratives, helping to shift and alter the things you would like to let go of, so that you can move forward into a preferred way of living. Johanna has over seven years’ experience working with addictions and eating disorders in both the UK and Israel, with both the Jewish (religious and non-religious) and non-Jewish populations.

I received my Ph.D. in clinical psychology from Columbia University and work in three languages–English, Russian, and Hebrew. I often work with people who have lived in different countries and cities, trying to help them find a sense of home and belonging in an increasingly transient modern world. I work with adolescents and adults, and feel comfortable working with all psychiatric diagnoses. I am currently on staff at the Abarbanel mental health hospital, and in the past trained at Columbia Medical Center, Weill Cornell Medical College, St. Luke’s Hospital and other clinics and hospitals primarily in New York. I am also a former fellow of the American Psychoanalytic Association and the Columbia Center for Psychoanalysis. I utilize many of the current psychological treatment approaches–for short or long term interventions–and customize them based on the person I work with and the problem we’re working on. But ultimately, I believe that success in psychotherapy depends upon creating something special between two people, where there is trust, understanding, and a sense of comfort.

Sexuality is a very broad subject and I am familiar with all its aspects, from fears and anxiety to desires or lack of desire, from life changes such as pregnancy, nursing, illness, and aging to trauma and related issues. I invite you to contact, and we’ll gently talk this through.

ABOUT Shalom, I have studied and worked in the field of psychology and psychotherapy in Europe, the US and in Israel. I am trained and experienced in treating clinical problems such as depression, anxiety, relationship problems, self-esteem issues etc. One of my particular strength is working with individuals suffering from intercultural conflicts and adjustment difficulties, such as olim chadaschim, foreign students, volunteers from abroad, individuals on a work assignment in Israel. I am sensitive to concerns that are specific to Israel, such as the security situation. I offer psychotherapy and counseling in English, German and Hebrew. I would describe my approach to treatment as psychodynamic, but I integrate behavioral elements as well. I also support individuals going through the process of giur (Jewish conversion).

Office Locations: Ein Tzurim 4/2 Jerusalem Efrat Gush Etzion Phone: 052-743-1223 Ages: Adults, Men, Women Languages: Hebrew, English ABOUT My name is Ariel Penkower. I am a licensed psychologist with a doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Rutgers University. I made aliyah in 2012 after working for four years in a thriving group practice in New Jersey. Since then, I have worked with the CBT Institute of Israel and have developed a growing private practice. I am currently accepting new clients in Jerusalem, Efrat, and via Skype. My therapy is grounded in the principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT is a goal- oriented therapy approach that offers short-term, solution-based strategies, as well as options for long-term work. CBT understands and addresses the negative thought and behavior patterns that interfere with our functioning and emotional well-being. This approach will teach you how to replace those patterns with healthier, more positive ways of thinking and being. Throughout our time together, I will work hard to tailor the therapy specifically to your needs, based on a rich understanding of both your history and present concerns. I bring qualities of empathy, optimism, and expertise, key ingredients towards a positive therapy experience. I work with teens and adults of all ages. Please call me to set up a convenient meeting time. I look forward to speaking with you.

ABOUT My passion for art and helping others center themselves in the ebb & flow of life’s journey, has led me to art therapy. I am a certified art therapist with experience working both privately and in groups with children, adolescents, young adults and adults. I have worked in psychiatric settings, as well as clients dealing with depression, anxiety, emotional regulation, life transitions. Why art therapy? Expression through the use of materials enables an understanding of emotions and the self, expanding beyond the ability of words. The use of language has a limited scope which stems from a conscious, intentional place. Creating with a variety of materials allows a certain flow from our psyche, unlocking subconscious images which appear, in order to tell us a story. The creative process and images can break through the conscious barrier of speech and enable a deeper journey of transformation and recovery. My therapeutic approach focuses on the creative process and its healing effects, as it occurs within the safety of the therapeutic relationship and space. I believe the base to all therapy is first and foremost to develop a trusting relationship between patient and therapist. Together we explore your relation and use of different materials as a reflection of your relationship to the world. The created image then allows further reflection and insight, leading to a transformative place of growth. I am fascinated each time anew with the healing that occurs throughout this creative dynamic. I look forward to sharing your creative journey together.

ABOUT Many clients struggle with anxiety, self-doubt, and guilt, often feeling ashamed of their experiences and avoiding challenging or painful situations. I focus on empowering clients by providing them with tools to creatively overcome their difficulties and build authentic and meaningful relationships. In my work with anxiety and mood-related difficulties, I have repeatedly seen clients overcome the most negative of experiences to live vital and satisfying lives. My main approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a mindfulness-based approach that focuses on letting go of old, ineffective solutions to approach our painful experiences in a new way. I qualified as a psychologist in Australia. Since moving to Israel in 2006, I have worked in the school system and in private practice with adults and adolescents. In private practice I work with adults and adolescents, couples and families.

Office Location: Baka Jerusalem Phone: 054-9238099 Ages: Adults, Couples, Men, Women Languages: English, Russian

ABOUT Having practiced in New York, Los Angeles, and Jerusalem, I find that despite cultural and environmental differences, all people have an innate drive to succeed in this world – to succeed in their relationships with others and with the SELF, as well as to find existential meaning in their lives. How we achieve that success is something that we attempt to figure out on an individual level. Our life’s challenges can be a road map to achieving that success because they guide us to introspection, deeper analysis, and ultimately making the changes that lead to a healthier and happier state of being. I specialize in relationships and how trauma affects those relationships. I help my clients identify how they have learned to “protect” themselves from people and situations that seem threatening to their sense of safety. I use a variety of evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help each client heal from his/her trauma and begin to approach life from a place of strength and empowerment. At the end of treatment, clients often feel a greater self-awareness and acceptance, less triggers, healthier relationships, and increased coping skills.

ABOUT I work with children, adolescents and adults who face difficult life transitions, depression, anxiety and trauma related symptoms. My developmental training and clinical experiences have taught me to recognize and engage the need for individuation, autonomy, mastery, confidence and respect that we seek during the challenging phases of our lives. I believe that therapy is both a place to explore feelings, relationships, and past events, as well as a supportive space to practice new thoughts, ideas, and behaviors. Sometimes I can help you reach your destination by gaining skills and insight to independently solve previously insurmountable challenges. Other times I can help you accept, mourn, heal and grow from problems that cannot be “solved.” My approach to therapy is integrative, which means I conceptualize cases and work with each client to tailor a program that integrates different treatment modalities (psychodynamic, CBT, DBT, and mindfulness practices). For those of you who are new to therapy, I always try to demystify the process so that you can be in the drivers seat. I welcome open communication about how therapy is progressing and encourage you to co-create treatment goals.

ABOUT It has become clear to me that a secure and fulfilling relationship with our spouse provides the fertile ground from which we are able to grow, develop and realize many of our dreams. As a couples and marriage therapist, I help couples to rediscover and deepen their connection through learning a new way of communicating. As the couple begins to feel more understood, really seeing one another, conflict and distance are transformed into places of intimacy and healing. Couples I work with are empowered, experiencing progress and movement relatively quickly because in the session we are spending less time speaking about the relationship and more time doing the relationship in the here and now. As they learn how to nurture the safe space between them, they feel more secure to be their true, authentic selves. Investing in a secure and fulfilling relationship is one of the most important and rewarding decisions we can make. Feel free to contact me to learn more about how you and your spouse can make it a reality.

I help clients deal with, and overcome, various issues, including depression, anxiety, OCD, phobias, trauma, self- esteem, family issues, and social issues. I have trained in psychodynamic, CBT, and DBT/Mindfulness therapeutic styles, which I integrate, as required, to best suit each individual client. Whether there is a specific diagnosed problem, or a general desire to live a better life, I work to create a safe place where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I empower clients to gain better self-understanding, and learn the tools and skills needed in order to feel better. Though its not always an easy or simple process, with patience and perseverance, wonderful, “hard-to-believe-it-could-ever-happen” changes do occur.

ABOUT The key to addressing significant life stressors is recognizing and understanding the struggle while transitioning to a new normal. Through many life experiences we are challenged to adapt our image of ourselves into our understanding of the world and people around us. While some life transitions occur seamlessly, there can be many times that these experiences can create friction and strife as we struggle to understand how we fit into and navigate the world around us. Both positive life experiences (ex. marriage, graduation, having a baby) or negative life experiences (ex. trauma, bereavement, loss) can cause significant distress when our perception of ourselves, the world and others are challenged and changed. I work closely with each patient building specific treatment plans, tracking progress and making sure we are moving toward a clear collaborative goal. While I work primarily from a CBT framework, I draw upon techniques from other evidence based practices in order to achieve the desired treatment goals. My ultimate goal as a therapist is to provide my patients with the confidence and skills to navigate and experience their lives as fully and meaningfully as possible.

ABOUT I am a licensed clinical psychologist, specializing in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which are the gold-standard, evidence-based approaches for treating a variety of clinical disorders. Before making aliyah, I served as a clinical psychologist and supervisor at Cognitive Behavioral Associates, a group private practice in Great Neck, NY, which is co-directed by Jill Rathus, Ph.D., an internationally recognized expert in both CBT and DBT and certified DBT trainer responsible for co-developing the adolescent adaptation of DBT. In addition to working with individuals and families struggling with more common issues of anxiety, depression, OCD, and relationship problems, my clinical experience includes treating clients considered to be difficult to treat and many who have been assumed to be beyond the pale of help, such as those struggling with extreme emotional distress, complex problems, multiple diagnoses, problems resulting from traumatic incidents, as well as those struggling with suicidality and self-injurious behavior.

ABOUT Life is not easy. We have responsibilities, goals, and challenges. Each of these generate within us thoughts, feelings and sensation, many of which are positive and some that are painful. We expend much energy trying to keep painful thoughts, feelings, and sensations out of our awareness. But this energy can be the source of adverse symptoms. Paradoxically, by being exquisitely present to thoughts, feelings and sensations, we heal past traumas, change deep- rooted patterns, disarm defenses and build resilience. This is where I step in to work with clients. As an olah, I understand the challenges of transition. I had these challenges in mind as I received my professional life coach certification through the prestigious Coaches Training Institute. I then worked with people who were navigating the challenges of their own transitions. A year later I continued with studies in trauma work, training with Gina Ross, one of the senior educators in the Somatic Experiencing (SE) world and founder of the International Trauma-Healing Institute in Israel. Following certification as an SE Practitioner, I served the Institute as Director of Emotional First Aid Training. SE’s mind/body approach to healing trauma enabled me to successfully help people suffering from anxiety, phobias, chronic pain, and depression. While continuing to build my practice, I earned a Master’s degree in Social Work. My counseling practice is driven by weaving together these three modalities. My approach to healing is gentle yet powerful, and allows my clients to embrace and work with their pain and suffering. As we build new awareness, we break detrimental patterns of thought and behavior, and ultimately move toward a life of productivity, meaning, aliveness…and ease.

Office Location: 52 Yeshurun Street Hod Hasharon, 4520066 Phone: 052-306-0398 Ages: Preschool age children, School age children, Adolescents, Adults Languages: Hebrew, English ABOUT I am a special educator, a licensed educational counselor and a play therapist with over 20 years of professional experience working with schools and residential facilities working with people with disabilities, staff members and their families in Israel. I believe that people with disabilities must be able to live the lives they choose and have a good quality of life. All people will learn the things that hold meaning for them. It is essential that parents and family, who know the child best of all, work together with frameworks providing optimal services in order to achieve this. I offer parent counseling and training to parents of children with disabilities. I believe that the focus must be seeing the person, and not the disability. In this way the barriers and difficulties facing the disabled child may be recognized and understood. The difficulties and challenges facing the parent/s may then be identified. It is essential to focus on each parent’s self-worth and values. Priority goals may be set with realistic steps, providing a path for progress that may increase independent functional and choice-making abilities and lead to increased self-esteem and well-being for all. Play therapy is especially suited to children from 3 to 10 years old. I also work with play therapy for children with disabilities beyond this age. “Toys are children’s words and play is their language.” I work towards building a therapeutic relationship with the child in which the child feels valued, listened to and understood. In the play therapy session the child has the opportunity to explore, turn things over in his mind, reflect on his problems and seek new solutions.

Sometimes we are able to more or less smoothly negotiate and overcome these bumps in the road on our own, at other times we find ourselves stuck or bound up and we need some help sorting it out to get back on track.

ABOUT I provide occupational therapy treatment for children from the age of 3 months. An integral part of treatment incorporates guidance for the parents, who are encouraged to be present during therapy sessions. When relevant, parents are also directed how they can enhance the treatment process at home. Treatment is provided for children diagnosed with Learning Disabilities and related diagnoses, such as Sensory Processing and Sensory Modulation Disorders, Developmental Coordination Disorders, Sensory Integration Dysfunction, and hyperactivity, involving problems of attention, concentration and arousal level. These children show difficulties performing tasks that children their age normally perform with ease, during play or preschool and school tasks. This influences the child’s motor, grapho-motor and perceptual abilities, such as learning to color, draw and write age appropriately. Similarly, some children struggle to acquire daily living skills, such as eating, dressing and washing. The goal of therapy is to facilitate the child’s sense of achievement, and reduce his/her frustration and the resulting avoidance of tasks. These difficulties often result in social, emotional and behavioral difficulties. Treatment can contribute significantly to improving children’s abilities, along with their self-image and self-esteem.

The last couple of years I have been doing online training mainly at the Couples Institute, Menlo Park California, which teaches a developmental, positive, non pathological approach.

Prior to working with couples, I have worked as a social worker since 1976, both in a boarding school setting as well as in Laniado hospital for over twenty years. In Laniado, I worked mainly on a geriatric ward but also on pediatrics and maternity wards and on the diabetic and dialysis outpatient clinics.

AZ House Inpatient Treatment Facility

Location: Pizgat Ze'ev, Jerusalem Phone: 058-731-1078 Contact: Erick Levitz Population Served: Men Languages: English Finances: Fully funded for those who can't afford it - so option to attend for free. Donations welcome. ABOUT There are many treatment centres who help people to overcome alcoholism and drug addiction – there is no monopoly in this industry as the majority of success is dependent on the residents’ commitment and willingness to change. AZ House is a Residential Therapeutic Community, offering residents the chance to learn how to live in a community, develop self-discipline and become respectful contributors to society, alongside freedom from active addiction. The fully funded program, which is 12 Steps based, offers residents the opportunity to disconnect and focus solely on their recovery. To begin with, their contact with the outside world is extremely limited and all outside activities are monitored by staff; this strict but encouraging system helps residents to develop a strong foundation. We hope this opportunity to focus so intensely on their recovery, which they are unlikely to have again in this way, will serve them for the rest of their lives. The second stage of the programme supports residents to develop self-sufficiency and to seek employment. Once settled into a job, whilst also reliably maintaining their responsibilities and commitments to the house, residents begin the process of re-establishing themselves into society and become ready to plan the next steps of their new way of life. However, there is no rush to leave house and residents are encouraged to stay as long as they require. Currently, there are not many treatment centres who cater for the Jewish community, especially regarding orthodox requirements. AZ House offers observant Jews the opportunity to focus on their recovery, whilst maintaining their religious practice. However, by no means does the treatment centre prosthetalise Judaism, we do not believe in forcing people into religion if they do want it. Many residents may not be observant and we are sensitive to this: secular, religious, non-Jewish – all are welcome.

It caters for young English-speaking adults in the Jerusalem area. Machon Dvir is led by the current joint head of Psychiatry at Hadassah University Hospital – Mt. Scopus, Dr. Shmuel Harris MD, and DBT expert Dr. Tzachi Fried PhD, together with Senior Clinician, Heather Moshel LCSW. Members of staff already work closely with many English- speaking institutions including Yeshivot, Seminaries, Kollelim and schools throughout Jerusalem. The goal of Machon Dvir is to ensure that clients with complex emotional and behavioral issues get the support that they require, ensuring that they thrive during their time in Israel. Individual and group therapy along with medical management is provided by an integrated, multidisciplinary team comprising a psychiatrist, a psychologist and a social worker. All group therapy is gender separate. Treatment begins with a comprehensive psychiatric and psychological intake, including an in-depth history, risk assessment, the use of questionnaires and scales to establish baseline functioning and monitor progress, and following team consultation, the development of a specific treatment plan and goals for each client. The treating team will make recommendations regarding individual and group DBT therapy, deciding which of the following treatment programs (if any) is most suited to the client’s needs. SPECIALTIES Addictions, Substance Abuse, Eating Disorders, Other Personality Disorders, Depression/Anxiety, Self Harm Behaviors TREATMENT APPROACH Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Group Therapy 178 Get Help Israel's 2019 Directory
