Are you a caregiver for a person with one of the following issues?

​​        -   Mental retardation;

​​        -   Borderline intelligence;

​​        -   Autism.

 

Do any of the above issues impact the person's ability to function as independently as his abilities allow? Does it affect him/her socially, educationally, vocationally, financially, emotionally, behaviorally and interpersonally?

 

Those with cognitive disabilities may have multiple issues. Among these issues may be:

​​        -   Feelings of inferiority;

​​        -   Feelings of being different;

​​        -   Wanting to be accepted but feeling rejected;

​​        -   The discomfort when people stare when the disability is apparent;

​​        -   Feelings of social isolation;

​​        -   Being the object of people's pity;

​​        -   Having low expectations both of yourself and by others;

 ​​        -   Behavioral issues that need addressing;

 ​​        -   Lack of independence in areas of self-help skills, independent living skills, social skills, expressing feelings, developing relationships,etc.

 

You may have stories of embarrassing situations

​​        -   Of attending special education;

​​        -   Of needing special help and/or technology;

​​        -   Needing greater effort to achieve the same level of functioning as able-bodied peers;

​​        -   Of greater difficulty in gaining social acceptance;

​​        -   Difficulties in finding life-partners (i.e., marriage partners, close friends, etc.);

​​        -   Having behavioral issues preventing optimal functioning;

​​        -   Lacking basic skills as stated above which are within the person's abilities.

 

My treatment model deals with each and every issue individually, and each one needs to be programmed, leading to improved emotional, behavioral, social, interpersonal, and independent skills allowing for optimal functioning in all areas of life:

​​        -   therapy exploring how you perceive and interpret situations and relationships;

​​        -   self-image issues;

​​        -   exploring ways and new technologies to improve functioning;

​​        -   processing past experiences that had a negative emotional impact;

​​        -   social skills training;

​​        -   behavior modification;

​​        -   training in self-help skills and independent living skills;

​​        -   ongoing therapeutic support;

​​        -   ​​​​​​​treatment for any traumas the person may have had.

About Me & My Treatment

About Me & My Treatment

  • Since 1976, I have been practicing psychology, doing behavioral and cognitive therapies, humanistic therapy, assertiveness training, relaxation and guided imagery techniques, and providing treatment to various populations.

  • Throughout the years both in the US, in Los Angeles and in Israel, I have worked with people of all backgrounds, including religious Jews, ultra-orthodox Jews, secular Jews, Arabs, and some tourists. In the US, I worked with people from varied backgrounds and cultures.

  • I have worked extensively with people with special needs, providing behavioral and cognitive therapy, social skills training, independent living skills training, self-help skills training, and ongoing supportive therapy.

  • I have worked with people new to the various cultures and languages in which I lived and worked. Helping them adjust is an ongoing, long-term type of therapy.

  • Treatment is conducted both in English and Hebrew.

  • Treatment is conducted in person and on Zoom.
