Therapists in Stanford, CA

I am fluent in spoken Hebrew, having lived in Israel for 9 years. However, I learned Hebrew in an Ulpan (Kibbutz Revivim), and therefore am weak on the read and written side... I have worked with numerous Israelis along my career of almost 30 years. My aproach is called "eclectic" but mostly cognitive, which assumes that most of our psychological troubles stem from how we think and how we see/relate to the world around us. Revising and updatind these mostly unconscious processes once in a while can turn out to be quite useful...

האם את/ה סובל/ת? האם רגשות העצב, החרדה, הבושה, העצבנות או הקנאה מציפים אותך? האם את/ה מרגיש/ה תקוע/ה או מפקפק/ת בעצמך? את/ה לא לבד! בטיפול, המטרה שלי היא לספק מרחב בטוח ולא שיפוטי, בו נוכל לזהות את המטרות שלך ולעבוד דרך האתגרים וההתמודדות בחייך, ובמקביל לתרגל קבלה, טיפול עצמי ותיקוף עצמי. בגלל שתהליך השינוי מפחיד ומציף, המטרה שלי היא להיות לצדך בדרך למצוא או .לדייק מה נכון לך

מרבית הישראלים שפונים אליי לטיפול נמצאים בסיטואציית חיים חדשה. מרגשת אבל לא בהכרח פשוטה. המעבר מהארץ, עבודה חדשה, סביבה חדשה, ניתוק פיזי מהחברים והמשפחה בארץ, עלולים להכאיב ולגרום למתחים וחרדה. הרצון לנצל את ההזדמנויות שנפתחו כאן, להינות ולהרוויח מהמקום החדש יכול להוסיף לחץ וליצור הרגשה של חוסר יציבות. הנסיבות שמובילות כל אחד ואחת מאיתנו לחפש עזרה ו/או תמיכה הן מורכבות ואישיות, אבל לרוב ישנה הרגשה שקיים פער בין הרצוי למצוי. הפער הזה מכאיב ומערער, ולא תמיד מובן כיצד נוצר או איך ניתן להיפטר ממנו או לפחות להקטין אותו. הפער יכול להיות קשור לתחומי חיים שונים: מערכות יחסים, עבודה, הורות, מימוש עצמי או משהו אחר.

In my role as your therapist, I listen, think , propose, explore, teach, and challenge. My approach to therapy is best described as caring, and compassionate. I am committed to providing depth-oriented psychotherapy for you and your loved one. I bring a warm, non-judgmental approach that provides a safe environment and opportunities to address both short and long terms goals. Grief, loss, trauma, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, ADHD, Asperger, divorce, postpartum depression, cultural diversity and adjustment, are among the different issues I have experience working with. I work with adult, couples, school-age children, pre-teens, adolescents, and their families.

If you have made your way to this page, you are probably struggling with a "relationship problem"--either with someone else, or with yourself. This is likely causing you significant emotional pain. Your predicament may have been triggered by a recent event, such as loss or trauma, or may have lingered and festered for years. Your symptoms may vary--you may experience persistent discontent, loneliness, emptiness...; have difficulty finding or sustaining a relationship, or have a spouse who wants you to get "fixed".You may be battling addiction or a destructive behavior that is thwarting your life, but impossible to give up, despite endless attempts.

Emotional pain can create an opening for change. Your decision to seek professional help is a step in this direction. I have over 38 years of experience helping individuals understand the causes of their emotional difficulties and helping them to make changes that fit their unique needs. I provide a safe environment where together we can explore the barriers preventing you from living the life you want.

Developing deep connections with others has always been my passion. I work with adults, adolescents, and couples on relationship issues, parenting, pregnancy and postpartum, and other life challenges such as anxiety and depression.

Welcome, I am offering you a safe place to explore your thoughts and feelings and learn new ways to cope with life challenges. I am a bilingual therapist providing therapy in both English and Hebrew. I provide psychotherapy to individuals, families, and couples. My approach to therapy is humanistic based on empathy, acceptance, and collaboration.

I offer online video sessions and in-person psychotherapy sessions. I offer heart and science-based psychotherapy to growth-oriented individuals interested in deepening their capacity for resilience, coping with life’s challenges, care, connection, and meaning. Sessions are offered in person, or online via video chat. Counseling and coaching services are all informed by evidence-based psychotherapy perspectives, emphasizing primarily Compassion-Focused Therapy and related perspectives. Furthermore, I also offer psychotherapy in Hebrew.

Most of us lug around a suitcase full of our thoughts, feelings, family history and past experiences and have no idea what's in there. Our current responses to and experience of life come from the contents of that suitcase. Together in therapy we gently unpack it. We will see what is working for you, what needs more support and what has served it's purpose but no longer works. I work collaboratively and am curious about all the things that make you who you are. I am particularly interested in working with people who feel misunderstood or unimportant.

Our relationships, work, and health can be stressful or fulfilling. There are specific, practical, scientifically proven methods for increasing happiness, success, and well being for yourself and in your relationships and significantly reducing anger, anxiety, stress, job loss, relationship conflicts, and hypertension. I have 15 years of clinical experience in bringing together best practices that work! I teach Stanford University's courses in Wisdom, Emotional Intelligence, Career Development, and related Research regarding the best and most practical methods for effectively reducing anger, anxiety, and stress, and significantly improving personal and professional relationships, health & well being, and professional goals and success.

Feeling stuck or uncertain about how to move forward in your life? Sometimes we find ourselves stuck in patterns that are not serving us, feeling like we don’t measure up to others expectations or held back by a fear of being judged or criticized. I want you to know that it doesn't have to be this way. Life CAN get better. You deserve to feel supported by someone who truly gets it! Whether you're navigating a big life change, working through a complex dynamic in your relationship, or struggling with stress and burnout, I'm here to help you find the path forward that feels right for you.

My practice provides caring and sensitive treatment for mental, emotional and behavioral problems. My approach draws upon many years of extensive experience. It builds upon each patient's strengths, while improving interpersonal and emotional skills. My therapy is personalized, recognizing that each patient is a unique individual with his or her own very personal history and issues. My goal is to help my patients in achieving an awareness and understanding of the sources of their psychological problems, and then help them work through those problems so they can feel better about themselves and lead healthier and happier lives.

My focus is on easing your stress, worries, and challenges that you are facing. Together we will work on finding better ways to communicate at home and at work. I am offering tele-therapy through video and/or phone to all who want to be seen.I enjoy working with couples and individuals. When dealing with negative thoughts, I work on finding more coping thoughts, while using different approaches, such as CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), DBT (dialectical behavioral therapy), and family systems. With couples I often use EFT (emotional focus therapy). My therapy style is nurturing and empowering. Your happiness is my first priority!

Are you feeling stuck in habitual, repetitive, and painful thought patterns? Feeling anxious and on edge, struggling with emotional overwhelm and burnout? Or have you lost your motivation and passion and are feeling sad and alone? I can help you develop insight into why you are struggling, and teach you how to turn your pain into growth and strength. Life can be difficult and painful, and we all, at times, struggle. You are not alone, and you can feel better; you deserve to feel better.

Welcome to my psychotherapy practice. I know it can be stressful looking for a therapist and trying to find the right person for you. It's not easy to know who that may be and to start the process. I will try to help by saying a little about how I work and you can trust your intuition and feel if working with me might be right for you. In my practice I work with pre teens, teens, adults, couples and families. We work with everything that you bring into the room, together we invite exploration and go on a journey of self discovery and self understanding.

First of all welcome and thank you for reading this. No matter what is the reason that brought you here, I believe part of the solution is to get to know yourself. I am here to help you and to be right there with you in the hard moments as well as the amazing awe provoking ones. Getting to know ourselves could be scary, exciting, magnificent, empowering, and sometimes disappointing. I know, I have been getting to know myself for years now. It's a journey that never ends, but it does get easier and wonderful. To live life fully, tapping into our full potential means getting to know ourselves and I can't wait to get to know you.
