Jackie D Schiff PsyD

ABOUT

I am an American trained Psychologist (licensed in NY and CT) with over 25 years of experience. In NY, I received a post-graduate certificate in Mind-Body-Soul Integrative therapy and studied Healing Visualizations for many years with Dr. Gerald Epstein. Once I moved to London I was registered as a Chartered Clinical Psychologist. I am now based in Raanana, Israel. Having lived in 3 countries I understand what it is like to adjust to change, new ways and cultures and enjoy working with Olim.

I offer a multifaceted approach that uses a broad and deep range of modalities from timeless ancient wisdom, with their roots in the Torah, to the latest in modern psychology and the neuroplasticity of the brain. This Holistic approach goes beyond Mindfulness to include healing visualizations, mental imagery, breathing techniques, mind/body/soul integrative therapy, cognitive psychology, psychodynamic psychology, self-psychology, dream work, waking dream therapy, and Spirituality. I pay attention to you and your needs and bring in the treatment most appropriate for you at the moment.

I work with children, teens, and adults and specialize in anxiety, depression, dealing with life transitions, feeling stuck, blocked creativity, inner child work, infertility, pregnancy, mothering, parenting, and menopause, physical illness, cancer, stomach ailments, lyme disease, finding meaning, purpose, and direction in life. Often the mind can make us sick, the good news is, the mind can also help us heal. It goes both ways. In sessions, you will learn new skills to transform you from the inside out. My focus is to help each person become more centered so you can begin to access your own powerful natural internal resources, purpose and light to stand strong, transform your life, reignite creativity and face the demands of your day with confidence.

In addition, I offer adult workshops and have lectured widely in London and in the USA. Popular workshop titles are:

Love Your Children, Find Yourself

Beyond 40, Rediscover Yourself

Destress for Success

Imagery: The Way to Change

The Life Plan
