Who Can Benefit from This?

One aspect of Jewish culture key to psychotherapy is the concept of tikkun olam "repairing the world," which emphasizes healing, both individually and collectively. This idea parallels the goals of psychotherapy, which seeks to heal and improve mental and relational well-being. My approach is to work collaboratively, hold space for your healing, and create change at your pace.
