Hebrew Therapists in North Highlands, CA

I specialize in Rumination-Focused ERP for OCD. This approach to ERP focuses on treating compulsive rumination, and provides a highly systematic yet gentler approach to exposure therapy. RF-ERP can be helpful to patients who have not made significant progress in other types of treatment, including individuals with Pure O or Sensorimotor OCD.

I am passionate about helping deep feelers and thinkers (from children to adults) live a life of meaning and fulfillment by: learning strategies on how to manage emotions, cope with existential dread, navigate changing relational roles and identities, and build resiliency during times of uncertainty and stress. My empathetic nature plays a role in my therapeutic style. I collaboratively work with those who experience emotional instability due to to anxiety, depression, ADHD, Autism, attachment injuries, heartbreak, CPTSD, and grief.

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.

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.

I offer online video sessions as well as 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.

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.

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.

Entering psychotherapy is an important and courageous decision. I view therapy primarily as an opportunity for a human encounter, and believe that through the therapeutic work you can grow, heal and develop healthier and more adaptive ways to deal with ongoing and new challenges.

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

I have over 10 years of clinical experience in outpatient clinics, schools, private practice, and humanitarian organizations. My practice has been informed by clinical training and extensive academic background in developmental psychology. It also incorporates my life experience in coping with challenges of immigration, parenthood, career transitions and aging. I believe that healing entails personal growth. You may need to develop a new awareness, an insight, or a specific coping skill to resolve your problem. I provide a safe space for you to explore what is that you need in order to live a more productive and enjoyable life.

For many years I've worked with individuals, families and couples, many dealing with the challenge of adjusting to transition following divorce and separation, loss of a loved one, health changes and immigration. I help my clients deal with emotional and behavioral issues, including anxiety and depression, relationship problems, loss and grief, confronting a new country and a new culture. In addition to English, I speak fluent French, Russian, Polish and Hebrew. You may be able to explore what is troubling you in your own language.

I am a licensed psychotherapist, offering a supportive and authentic space for you to work through your challenges and enhance your well-being.

I believe that no matter how difficult of a time you're having, I can help you find your balance and power. I know that rage; shame, confusion and helplessness can make you feel stuck, lost and hopeless. I also know that there is a way out. In my therapy office you will feel safe and supported to unravel your feelings and thoughts, identify patterns, themes, get clear on what brought you to the place you are currently in and make intelligent new choices.

I'm a licensed psychotherapist experienced in working with individuals of all ages, as well as couples, and families. I also provide parent guidance to assist parents in promoting their child's well being and improve family communication. I see my role as helping people recognize underlying core issues and blind spots that may be preventing them from achieving a sense of peace and fulfillment. Learning new ways of coping, and of relating to self and others, can further improve confidence and vitality, as well as the capacity to engage in satisfying personal and professional relationships.

I work with a wide range of challenges and identities but am especially equipped to work with people with: Complex PTSD - relational struggles as a result of not getting what we need as children; Folks who inhabit multiple cultural identities and/or have lived experience of immigration and assimilation (first or second generation and more); Individuals affected by or struggling with relationships with Narcissists, with possible codependence tendencies; People who are pregnant, postpartum, or parenting; Teens (13+) and their Families.

I specialize in helping sensitive seekers, who struggle with stuckness, anxiety, grief and longing, to access their embodied wisdom so they can cultivate a fulfilling relationship with self and live courageously, as creative expressions of their unique soul.

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.

If you or someone you care about are going through a difficult time and need help, guidance, and support, or feeling anxious, stuck, depressed, confused or lost, then give me a call. It is not always easy to ask for help and for what you need, particularly when you don't know the therapist and at times don't know what you need or can't put it into words. It takes courage and strength to make this first step and reach out to ask for help. I am a licensed, seasoned, compassionate psychotherapist, and I would be honored to work with you, so you don't have to do it all alone.

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.
