Using the therapy room to create a space for you as a new immigrant to understand and manage the stress and loneliness of living in a foreign culture. Allowing you to navigate the struggles of living far away from family and everything you are used too. Even if you have been here for years and are no longer considered "new" we can work together to further identify challenges in balancing your integration into israeli society. We will use CBT tools to navigate these cultural and daily life transitions. 

Using CBT to specify and understand roadblocks that prevent you from growing in your professional arena whether you are just starting out or you are in an executive position. Learning assertiveness techniques to effectively communicate your needs in the workplace. Also creating a place to decide future career paths or career transitions and the stress and imposter syndome that may arise in these new experiences.

Therapy can be a place to explore how you define yourself as a parent.  Learning and using practical tools to better cope in the moment with your family. Developing your self compassion to understand your expectations as a parent and coping with your many roles in life.  

Using CBT and mindfulness techniques to manage and understand our triggers in a new way. While also learning practical coping skills in order to gradually expose ourself to situations or interactions we have been avoiding, escaping or fighting.
