ABOUT
If you’ve been feeling stressed, anxious, depressed or you are feeling this way while pregnant or post-partum then I am here to help. I offer a space that is warm, relaxed, non-judgmental and safe so that you can get professional help without feeling intimidated. My main treatment model is CBT. This is a short-term therapy (think months, not years) that offers you a chance to offload freely while also learning skills to cope with and overcome your current difficulties.
Treatment for Adults
In Australia, I trained and worked as a psychologist treating adults who were struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, and more. Research shows CBT has one of the best track records for effectively treating these issues and it is the main treatment approach I use in therapy sessions. I also incorporate DBT therapy where relevant for people who are having a hard time regulating their emotions. Together we will start therapy by trying to understand what is actually going on for you and what you need to help you feel better. Then we will work on developing skills to improve your self-understanding and how to cope with and improve your mental health struggles.
Treatment for Pregnant and Post-Partum Women
In my most recent role prior to Aliyah, I worked as the primary psychologist in a mother and baby ward of a hospital. There I ran group therapy for pregnant or post-partum mums as well as offered individual therapy. As a mother of four young children, I’m passionate about helping other mothers who are struggling with low mood, anxiety, irritability, anger and stress during this period. I use evidence-based models such as CBT and Attachment theory to help you understand your experience and learn practical strategies to feel better so that you can get back to enjoying motherhood.
Regardless of your challenges I will work together with you so that you can feel empowered to understand and navigate the difficulties you are experiencing. I am available at my clinic in Raanana or online. Feel free to reach out here or via my website: gilaweinbergertherapy.com

TREATMENT APPROACH
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a form of psychotherapy that encourages individuals to accept their thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment and to use them as tools to help them to make changes in their lives that are consistent with their values. It is based on the idea that by changing the way we think about our inner experiences, we can reduce emotional distress and increase our sense of well-being.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a type of psychotherapy that focuses on how one's thoughts, feelings and behaviors are connected and can be changed. It is based on the idea that how we think (cognition) and how we feel (emotion) can influence how we behave. CBT helps people identify and challenge distorted thinking and replace it with more balanced thinking, leading to improved mood and behavior. ‘Homework’, usually containing practical writing exercises, is often completed by the client between sessions to reinforce the therapy. Examples of tools that practitioners often use are journaling, challenging beliefs, and mindfulness.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a type of cognitive-behavioral therapy developed by Marsha Linehan to help people learn to better manage and cope with emotions and stress. It focuses on developing skills and strategies to help regulate emotions, improve relationships and communication, and reduce self-destructive behaviors. Through DBT, people learn to identify and modify unhealthy thoughts and behaviors, while also learning to accept and validate their own feelings. DBT teaches skills to help individuals become aware of and accept and regulate their emotions, tolerate distress, and improve interpersonal relationships.
