Elana Carmel, MA

Entering therapy is a courageous step. Most people have tried everything they know to feel better. The decision to enter therapy, requires self awareness and persistence, and often marks a crucial turning point. Each of us has the potential to thrive, but too often obstacles prevent us from living fully. The resulting anguish and suffering deserves to be acknowledged, validated, and understood. This requires the skillful integration of listening, empathy, theoretical knowledge, and, most of all, willingness to fully engage in the process. I am a psychologist with over a decade of experience, well-versed in a variety of approaches (Psychodynamic, CBT, Schema Therapy). This offers each person an approach that is individually tailored to his or her unique goals, needs, and challenges. Inherent in the process is an open dialogue in order to maximize the efficacy of our work together. I believe that the combination of insight and hard work with a compassionate and experienced therapist can be healing and yes, life changing. I offer private therapy for adults, adolescents and children, as well as parent counseling and psychodiagnostic testing. I offer therapy in my clinic in Jerusalem, in English or Hebrew.
