The therapists listed on this website are independent practitioners; they do not work for Get Help Israel. We encourage our members to respond to inquiries within 2 business days; however, emails sometimes fall through the cracks, or end up in a different folder. When emailing a therapist, make sure that you login to your FREE account so your inquiry is saved in your Dashboard. You can then follow up at a later time.

In order for therapists to become a member of the association and be listed on our website, they must meet the professional requirements of the association. The word "therapist" or "psychotherapist" is not regulated in Israel, which means that therapists in Israel do not need any qualifications to start a private practice and call themselves a therapist. This poses a risk for harm to clients who may not know how to determine whether a therapist has proper qualifications or who are not comfortable asking a therapist to show his/her qualifications. All therapists on our website have post-graduate training in mental health from an accredited university. All life coaches are certified life coaches and meet the ICF requirements. Each therapist's title is in accordance with the law in Israel. We verify the credentials of each member of the association to uphold a high professional standard and transparency to the public using the GHI resource.
