Elisabeth Wajnryt, PsyD

I am here to help you in a structured, science-informed and practical way, while also bringing a psychodynamic understanding of emotional life. I like depth, but not vagueness.

A central theme in my work is helping people reconnect with signals they no longer trust — hunger, satiety, emotions, bodily responses and relational needs — and learning to use them more intelligently, rather than fighting against themselves all the time.

I help people observe patterns and interactions between emotions, physiology, behaviours, and relationships. My therapy also includes teaching you how to track the process over time in a more objective, concrete way.

I am not interested in “transforming” people into someone else. I am interested in helping them become more “themselves”, more connected, more authentic!

Disordered Eating, Eating Disorders, especially Compulsive/ Binge Eating, chronic weight struggles, emotionally driven eating and Body Image distress patterns. I can help people in GLP-1 medication and Post- Bariatric patients to prevent relapses

I also work with more complex eating difficulties involving physiological sensitiveness and regulation around food (ARFID).

As a Gottman level 3 - Couples Therapist, I work with couples using one of the most scientific, structured and effective relational models available today: “Making Peace with Your Partner”.

 My clinical work also includes Anxiety, Depression and OCD:  Making Peace with Yourself”.

My sessions tend to be light and humorous.

After so many years of clinical work, I still love people and the privilege of helping them. I am especially interested in the moments when we lose connection with our own signals and inner coherence, and how this becomes expressed through food, symptoms, conflict, exhaustion, or silence. 

I am active in the room. I help organise what has become emotionally crowded, repetitive, confusing or disconnected. Sometimes this means depth, sometimes structure, sometimes humour, and sometimes simply slowing things down enough for a person to finally notice what has been happening inside themselves all along, and now, being able to change it.

My mission is to make therapy a place where people can reconnect with themselves in a more honest, workable, and authentic way.

If you feel I can help you, the first step is to book a free 15-20-minute call to see if it is a good fit. 

I work individually and with groups, online and in person (in Bet Shemesh), in English, Hebrew and Portuguese.

It will be a pleasure to know you, and even more so if I can help you!
