Individual Psychotherapy

The way individual psychotherapy is conducted depends on the uniqueness of each psychotherapist-
client pair. Nevertheless, psychotherapy is a very specific process. Despite the existence of numerous
systems of psychotherapy, the process of psychotherapy has several distinct characteristics.

  • It is a systematic treatment
  • It is aimed at change and growth in a client or elimination of a client's suffering
  • It involves a professional relationship

An authentic, open, and trusting relationship between a client and a therapist is crucial for psychotherapy
to be successful. While often the process of psychotherapy involves a conversation between a client and
a therapist, it is fundamentally different from a conversation between two friends. The main differences
are as follows:

  • Individual psychotherapy is not a mutual support, typical for friends, but a professional
    relationship, aimed at the change in a client's life and elimination of client's suffering
  • Individual psychotherapy provides a client with a safe, non-judgmental, and confidential
    atmosphere for exploring truths of his or her life


Currently Available Groups

  • Shadow of War - for both men and women 18 and older who are experienced emotional trauma of
    being at any war or has family member who needs support in discovering and accepting "dark,"
    "negative," "unacceptable" sides of themselves
  • The Treasures of our life experience- for both men and women 65 and older who  emotional
    support.

Prior to becoming a participant in any of the above groups, each candidate will have a half-hour interview
with me free of charge. This interview is essential because it helps determine which particular group is
likely to be the best fit for a particular person.


Couple Psychotherapy

A committed relationship between two adults is but one of the relationships in the emotional field of any
person. Whether partners are satisfied with their committed relationship or enriched by it is determined
mainly by the following factors:

  • Who each person is
  • What each person wants
  • What the patterns of the relationship between two people are
  • What the feelings in which the relationship is embedded are

All the above factors could be explored in couple therapy. If couple therapy is successful, both partners
will know it, because both will feel better. In particular, they will:

  • Perceive their committed relationship as an entity;
  • Experience each other in a different way
  • Learn emotional acceptance
  • Be aware of various patterns of their relationship
  • Learn communication skills

In couple therapy, my client is a couple. Therefore, my fidelity is to a couple and not to a particular person.
If there is an indication of a need for individual therapy for either one or both partners, I will refer him or
her to a colleague for individual counseling.
