WholeStar Therapy, LLC

Introduction: My name is Ayelet Shmuel and I offer a unique approach to psychotherapy. My credentials and education include an LSW (a Licensed Social Worker), a Maters degree in Social Work, a BA in Philosophy and History, A mediation Certificate and Applied Existential Therapy certification. I also bring to the table my 10 years experience in education (as a former teacher) and 5 years experience as an officer in the Israeli army. I use various modalities and theories in my work, and in addition to the traditional therapeutic setting, I offer my clients an opportunity to explore their challenges and life journey by going for walks together, listening to their favorite music, bringing in art, family albums, etc. Since the client-therapist relationship is extremely important to the success of the process, I encourage people to choose well; take your time during the initial consolation meeting to make sure that you "click" with the therapist. I have a lot of experience working with individuals, couples and families on various issues such as mental illnesses, communication skills, grief and loss, self-esteem and social problems. Feel free to contact me for any questions. Change is just a phone-call away :) The most exciting thing about therapy is when changes occur and they are visible and very helpful in the day to day function of the client. The clients motivation, courage and hard work combined with the therapist's guidance and empathy can produce wonderful results.
