Clients who have a specific problem they need to deal with in the short-term will find CBT extremely valuable. It focuses on practical problem solving and dealing with issues affecting your life right now. With CBT you will learn how to recognize and change destructive or disturbing thought patterns that are negatively influencing your emotional wellbeing and behaviors.

Sessions focus on changing negative patterns on thinking and behavior that cause problems in your life. We replace these destructive impulses with constructive approaches that change the way you feel.

CBT can treat a wide range of issues in your life, from relationship problems, substance abuse, depression, anxiety, stopping bad habits, and sleep difficulties.

CBT works by changing your attitude and behavior to problematic ways of dealing with the world. With a consistent course of treatment you can replace a negative worldview with positive thoughts, images, beliefs and attitudes improve your mental, emotional and social outlook.

Some people have more intense and erratic reactions to emotional situations, usually, those involving close relationships such as family, friends. and romantic involvements. These extreme shifts in emotional and mental stability are treated by learning skills from DBT that provide practical ways of coping with these sudden, intense surges of emotion.

DBT involves two main components:

1. Individual weekly psychotherapy sessions that focus on the issues and difficulties from the previous week to provide you with healthy problem-solving skills which can be applied to these situations. These sessions prioritize harmful and suicidal behaviors while addressing any other behaviors that can hinder the therapy process.
2. Weekly group therapy sessions, that run about 2.5 hours that focus on developing (a) interpersonal skills, (b) dealing with stress and acceptance, (c) regulating emotions, and (d) mindfulness.

Individual DBT sessions work towards improving your day-to-day quality of life. They also focus on managing post-traumatic stress responses while enhancing your self-respect and self-image.
We will work on reinforcing adaptive behaviors, so you can learn how to manage emotional trauma rather than just waiting for the crisis to pass.

Group DBT sessions develop your behavioral skills in relation to others. With these sessions, your motivation to change and engage in treatment is strengthened by the group dynamic. By restructuring and changing your behavior in the group therapeutic setting you will better see your progress and advancement towards your individual goals.

The trance-like state you experience in hypnotherapy focuses your mind in a similar way to being completely absorbed in an engaging book, movie, or even meditation. You are completely engaged and aware during these sessions. This allows you to completely turn your attention inwards to access the powerful resources needed to make changes and regain control over specific areas of your life.

Hypnotherapy is a method that can be used with other forms of psychological and medical treatment. It is commonly used to treat:

• Relationship issues
• Communication
• Anxiety
• Phobias
• Sleep disorders
• Learning disorders
• Substance abuse
• Smoking and bad habit cessation
• Sexual dysfunction
• Damaging behaviors

Hypnotherapy has also been effective in pain management, resolving issues in medical conditions (digestive disorders, skin problems, and side effects of pregnancy and chemotherapy), and managing fear relating to dental work.

Dramatic portrayals of hypnosis in books, movies, and media have made some people skeptical of hypnotherapy. You will not be unconscious or asleep. The hypnotherapist will not be controlling your mind, planting secret suggestions, or shaping your behavior with mysterious trigger words. In fact, during hypnotherapy, you are in complete control. You will hear the therapist’s suggestions, but you have the power to decide whether to act on them or not.

Clinical hypnotherapy takes place in a calm, therapeutic environment. Your therapist uses guided imagery through a spoken word technique called “induction.” These inductions are often memorized or read from prepared scripts that guide you into a relaxed, focused state. Once this state is achieved, your therapist will ask you to think about experiences and situations in positive ways that can change the way you think and behave.

Therapy sessions are conducted in a supportive, non-judgmental environment that allows you to freely explore your feelings to develop long term skills. Most sessions last for 1-hour in my Tel Aviv or Jerusalem offices in Israel. I also conduct virtual sessions over Skype, Messenger, or Zoom video chat.

I have treated thousands of people over the years with psychotherapy. These are effective and powerful sessions designed to help you uncover, discover and apply the strengths within.

I have years of successful experience working with clients in a virtual environment. You can get treatment for a host of mental health issues over online video conference tools like Skype, Messenger, and Zoom. It’s a perfect solution if you live far from my physical office locations and want to work with me.

I have worked with thousands of clients who suffered from anxiety and stress disorders and built specific treatment plans to help them with:

• Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) which involves excessive worry and chronic anxiety over non-specific life events, situations, and interactions.
• Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) which involves repetitive, intrusive and distressing activities that the sufferer performs to relieve their anxiety.
• Specific Phobia Disorder (SPD) which involves irrational fear or avoidance of a situation or object.
