My name is Linda Charlaff. LCSW, BCD,LCADC. I have been in practice for over 30 years both in the US and now in Israel, treating adults, teens and their families who are dealing with mental health issues, personality disorders, addictions and relationship difficulties.

I received my MSW from Yeshiva University in 1983. I continued ongoing training and professional development at the New York Society for Ericksonian Psychotherapy and Hypnotherapy, as well as the Parsons-Fein Institute for Psychotherapy and Hypnosis. I have been in private practice since 1984.

As a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCADC), I have worked with adolescents, adults, and couples. My experience includes extensive treatment of people suffering from depression, anxiety, eating disorders and relationship issues. I am also a licensed Hypnobirthing® practitioner and offer sessions to pregnant women interested in natural childbirth alternatives.

My therapeutic approach uses an eclectic combination of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and motivational interviewing that stimulates the the stages of change for habit cessation, relapse prevention and wellness for disorders.
