Important Availability Update (August–November 2026)
From August 1 to November 15, 2026, I will be on retreat and will be completely unavailable for therapy or new inquiries.
Treatment: I will not be able to take on new clients for ongoing therapy. Until the retreat begins, I will be available only for brief, focused treatment or a one-time consultation.
Communication: During this period, my phone will be switched off and I will not use WhatsApp. Please note that messages sent through WhatsApp during the retreat will be permanently deleted and will not reach me, due to the app’s limitations after a month of inactivity.
How to contact me: Please email me at sagi.gt@gmail.com. I will read and respond to messages only after I return from retreat in mid-November.
Welcome
In a world that has lost its compass. The oceans are warming, forests are burning, rivers are drying up, wars are becoming routine, and screens offer a substitute for communication.
The mind struggles to bear the pain of the world. It seems that the path we are on can no longer carry us forward.
Psychological pain is not only personal. The heart carries within it the unease of our time.
A crisis may point to the need for a change of direction. Alongside suffering that seeks relief, the spirit longs to move toward engagement and connection.
I work with people experiencing anxiety, OCD, post-traumatic stress, psychosis, and mental health crises. My work draws on evidence-based approaches and a scientific understanding of change processes, alongside attention to the body, meaning, and the spiritual dimensions of experience.
I consider not only symptoms and difficulties, but also the broader context in which they emerge and the factors that maintain them in the present.
My path as a therapist began with injury and rupture. I completed my military service with a recognized service-related disability, following an injury that led to years of physical rehabilitation. Through my own experience of trauma and anxiety, I sought to understand how it is possible to move beyond symptom relief toward a broader and more meaningful life.
For several years, I was involved in neuroscience and psychology research in academic, clinical, and private settings, alongside clinical work and the publication of professional articles and research.
Alongside research and clinical practice, I learned about the mind in other ways: during three years spent with Indigenous communities in South America, and through extended periods of intensive meditation practice in Buddhist monasteries in Asia and at Western retreat centers.
The meeting point between research and practice, between clinical work and the body, and between psychological and spiritual development and working with land and nature lies at the heart of my therapeutic approach.
Therapeutic Approach
Integrative Psychotherapy: Body, Experience, and Meaning
The body is part of psychological experience and an important pathway for change and healing. My background includes a master's degree in integrative psychotherapy, training in body psychotherapy, and many years of yoga and meditation practice. Time spent with Indigenous communities in South America broadened the way I understand the relationship between action, community, nature, and meaning. In therapy, bodily sensations and responses are given space alongside thoughts, emotions, spiritual questions, and practical aspirations in daily life.
Research-Informed Treatment: Evidence-Based Approaches, Tailored to the Individual
I draw on approaches that have been studied and found effective, and I keep up to date with the professional literature. My background in neuroscience and psychology allows me to consider critically what may fit the person I am working with, rather than adhering to a protocol simply because it is familiar or popular. Depending on the person's needs, I integrate trauma-focused treatments such as PE, CPT, and EMDR, as well as advanced approaches to anxiety, OCD, depression, and psychosis, including CBT, ACT, and DBT
Goal-Oriented Treatment: Bringing Change Into Daily Life
Good therapy should not become the center of life; it should allow life to expand. The work therefore focuses on what matters to you: goals, values, relationships, functioning, and freedom of action. Together, we will define a direction, examine what changes along the way, and include practice between sessions so that change does not remain at the level of insight alone. In many cases, treatment is focused and relatively brief, but its duration is determined by need rather than by a fixed framework
