Therapy Process
I see therapy as a shared process of understanding, experimentation, and choice. In our sessions, we will try to understand what creates and maintains the difficulty, where you would like to move, and what may allow that movement to take place in your life.
My work is active, collaborative, and focused. At times it is fairly structured; at other times it is experiential and spontaneous.
I use therapeutic approaches that have been studied and found effective, but I do not assume that a protocol tells the whole story. Different approaches can offer maps and possible directions, but the path must be adapted to the person’s context, needs, and aspirations.
Therapy seeks to open new possibilities for thinking and action, and a meaningful part of the work therefore takes place between sessions. We may agree on between-session practice, patterns to notice, experiential exercises, gradual exposure to new situations, listening to part of a recorded session, or an action connected to a chosen goal.
Practice between sessions makes it possible to explore different ways of thinking, responding, and acting in daily life
Areas of Therapy
My work focuses on several areas in which structured, evidence-based therapy can be combined with careful attention to personal history, relationships, meaning and context. Each area requires a somewhat different approach, while the therapeutic process remains collaborative, active and adapted to the person seeking help.
Trauma and Complex Trauma Therapy
Therapy for PTSD and complex trauma that can include work with traumatic memories, avoidance, beliefs, bodily responses and a gradual return to meaningful areas of life.
Anxiety and OCD Therapy
CBT, ACT and exposure and response prevention for anxiety and OCD, with attention to avoidance, compulsions, uncertainty and the ability to act in the presence of distress.
Therapy for Psychosis and Mental Health Crises
Collaborative, recovery-oriented work with voices, unusual beliefs, paranoia and mental health crises, while attending to safety, meaning, functioning and context.
Psychedelic and Spiritual Integration
Integration of psychedelic, spiritual and meditation-related experiences, including preparation for traditional ceremonies and attention to set, setting and cultural context.
Questions and Practical Information
How can I get started?
You can contact me through WhatsApp, email, or the form on this website. You may briefly describe what brings you to therapy and what you hope might change; there is no need to include personal or sensitive information in your first message. I will get back to you to clarify your needs, consider whether the treatment framework I offer is a good fit, and arrange a session.
How is integrative psychotherapy different from other forms of therapy?
The difference lies in the integrative perspective. I do not adhere rigidly to a single protocol, but draw on a broad range of bodily, cognitive and contemplative tools to adapt the therapy to you as an individual.
Does therapy include practice between sessions?
Often, yes. Practice may include monitoring, exposure, a behavioral experiment, listening to part of a session, or taking an action connected to a chosen goal. Its purpose is to allow change to take place and have an impact on daily life.
Are sessions recorded?
In some forms of therapy, sessions may be recorded with your consent for personal listening or practice. Recording is not a condition of therapy, and it can be stopped or deleted at any time at your request. Storage, access, and retention periods are explained in advance as part of a clear consent process.
Is online therapy effective?
For many difficulties, online therapy can support meaningful and effective work. It may also improve accessibility and continuity, and make it easier to practice within the home environment. Suitability depends on the nature of the difficulty, the clinical situation, the privacy available, and the ability to maintain a consistent and safe connection through the screen. When online treatment is insufficient or unsuitable, I will recommend a different setting.
Is therapy suitable for psychosis or an acute crisis?
I have experience and training in working with psychosis, trauma, and complex mental health crises. Before treatment begins, we will consider whether individual online sessions provide a sufficient and safe framework, or whether a broader system of care is needed, including psychiatric assessment, a residential crisis alternative, or community-based services.
How much does a session cost?
• Standard therapy session (60 minutes): NIS 400.
• Prolonged Exposure (PE) session (90 minutes): NIS 500.
If there is a significant need for therapy but financial limitations make the regular fee difficult, you are welcome to discuss this with me. I reserve a limited number of reduced-fee places when
Would this approach suit me?
This approach is especially suited to people seeking active, focused therapy who are willing to examine patterns, experiment during sessions, and practice between them. It is likely to be less suitable for those primarily seeking an open-ended space for conversation without defined goals or direction. I do not dismiss other therapeutic approaches; the question is whether your needs fit the way I work.
