Hebrew Therapists in American Canyon, 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...

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.

Entering psychotherapy is an important and courageous decision.

I am dedicated to assisting you in overcoming difficulties in your life, and will work with you to identify goals you wish to achieve.

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.

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.

There are points in life where you may ask yourself if the path you're on is leading you where you need to be going. You may be asking yourself questions like: "Is this the best I can expect from my marriage?" "Is this what I'm supposed to be doing with my life?" "Is the work I'm doing the work I was born to be doing?" I will work with you both to get answers to these questions and to more fully accept the answers you receive.

I believe that the most effective route to change and healing is through self awareness, I strive to work towards that end in all the therapy I do, both with couples and with individuals. I have found that there is no more powerful tool for breaking old patterns and affecting real change than self knowledge. With people who are curious and willing to look inward, I can help them do deep work and find out who they are and why they do the things they do..

Hello, and welcome. I have been practicing clinical psychology for almost 35 years, and am currently working primarily with clients struggling with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I treat adults and teenagers, and I especially enjoy working with college students. While I have extensive experience using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) I find that my clients are responding best to Inference Based CBT (ICBT), a relatively new modality in which I have received extensive training. My style is warm, inviting, and collaborative.

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.

Life can feel uncertain and mixed emotions can make it difficult to know what to do. As your therapist, I want you to leave feeling heard, understood, accepted, and empowered. Sessions are centered around you and your experiences. Using a narrative approach, we work together to create a life narrative that highlights your strengths, history, and how you have worked to thrive. My role is to support you and walk alongside you through this time in life.
