My Role As A Therapist: After 35 years of experience in the field, I would say that a person who makes the first contact and asks to be in therapy actually is ready for a change, ready to improve his or her well-being and better his or her life. My role as a therapist is to use professional tools to facilitate the change, to change old sets of perceptions about the self and others with new sets of perceptions. Every person has a subjective world of experiences and therefore, every person needs specific, particular tools to promote the change. Treatment is a challenging journey of changes in perceptions of the internal world and the outer world, the journey in which there is a process toward a healthier and better life.

Various conditions that lead to emotional suffering can be overcome by fully understanding the condition’s roots.

The treatment process has a beginning, middle and end where both the patient and I team up to work through the process and witness the process of change.

Uncovering and realizing the unconscious principles that were experienced and dominated the behavior. These discoveries contribute to the healing process. Dream analysis is part of this process and an extremely valuable asset to uncovering the unconscious.

Constant empathy and clarification of the subjective world of experiences that lead to the emotional suffering is embedded within the entire treatment process.

The ultimate goal of my treatment of any condition is to achieve a sense of wholeness, sense of existence, and being connected to the self and actualizing it to its fullest potential.

Allowing all members to understand the dynamics of the relationship as a whole, how it was created, the roots of the behaviors and the repetitive unconscious principles.

Understanding how the system functions as a unit including strengths and weaknesses.

Understanding the subjective world of each member and their individual contribution to the whole relationship.

4worldlovers: We offer comprehensive evaluation and treatment, including DBT in both group

Our highly trained, multi-disciplinary team of English-speaking psychiatrists, psychologists and social workers are among the leading DBT professionals in Israel.

We provide treatment for all aspects of emotion dysregulation, impulsive, addictive and self-harming behaviors, and dysregulated eating. Such diagnoses include (but are not limited to) borderline and dependent personality disorders, complex-PTSD, severe depression, anxiety and OCD.

DBT is a type of therapy effective in helping people better manage strong and overwhelming emotions (what we call “emotion regulation”).

DBT stands for Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and is an offshoot of Cognitive Behavior Therapy- a well-known therapy often used for anxiety and depression as well as a variety of other conditions.

Our primary office is centrally located in a beautiful building on Beit Lechem Road, and is easily accessible by public transportation. We offer a private waiting area, private offices for individual therapy, and rooms for group sessions.

4worldlovers: Many of the people who come to see me are depressed and frustrated. My clients often feel very isolated, and in spite of their best efforts they just can’t seem to pull out of this state. In a similar vein, in their relationships they keep ending up in the same unhealthy and toxic patterns. Does any of this resonate?

With my 25-plus years of experience as a psychologist and psychotherapist, I can accompany and guide you to heal yourself. In my Jerusalem and Tel Aviv clinics, I offer services and specialize in three main areas: Individual psychotherapy, couples therapy, and parent consulting.

As a psychologist and psychotherapist working with hundreds of clients, I have found that “just” talking about what is bothering you is not enough. To feel better and to move on we need to get to the core of what is really going on. One of the best ways to achieve this is to focus on the here and now and to use your emotions as a “compass”. In our sessions we explore what you are experiencing in the moment, in the session, as a gateway to accessing your deeper needs. As an adjunct, and where appropriate, holistic therapies may be incorporated into our sessions.

Feel invalidated by your partner every time you try to express what you feel and what is on your mind?

Feel trapped in never-ending battles, arguments, disagreements, and fights that seem to leave you exhausted, “bruised”, and no further ahead?

Do you long to feel heard, understood, close, safe, and loved?
