ABOUT
My name is Jennifer Turgeman, I was born and raised in California USA and moved to Israel in 2009. I completed my BA Degree in Psychology (BA) and then went on to pursue and finish an Art Foundation Course at the Machon Avni Art Schools (Tel Aviv). Following this I specialized in creative arts therapy and completed my Masters (MA) in the University of Haifa. I speak English, French and Hebrew (medium level) and offer my services as an art therapist to individuals in central Israel including Herzliya, Herzliya Pituach and Tel Aviv region. I have also completed additional professional qualifications as a registered healthcare practitioner in London, United Kingdom where I am both a member of the British Association of Art Therapists (BAAT) and the Health Professions Council (HCPC). In terms of my professional experience I have worked across a number of different schools and settings along with several leading charities such as 'Chai Cancer Care' and 'Camp Simcha' UK. Much of my career has included working with children of special needs and a wide range of other backgrounds. I have also worked with adult populations battling addiction and depression as well as families coping with terminal illness. Prior to working with children I spent a great deal of time providing therapy to refugees and female victims of human trafficking and have also been fortunate enough in servicing elderly communities, including Holocaust survivors and dementia sufferer's.

TREATMENT APPROACH
Art TherapyArt therapy has clients express themselves through creative mediums such as drawing, painting, collage, coloring, or sculpting. Clients can interpret their subconscious world that is expressed in their art which could lead to a better understanding of their feelings and behavior. Artistic talent is not a prerequisite for art therapy as it’s not as much about the end result as much as it is about the process. The therapist looks for meaning in the creative choices of the work and the clients’ inner world. This therapeutic method enables clients to express their inner thoughts and feelings through creative expression rather than just talking about them.
Expressive Arts TherapyExpressive Arts Therapy is particularly beneficial for clients who struggle with describing what they are feeling verbally. Through imagination and creation of different art forms, clients are able to interpret and communicate their inner world and catalyze healing. Expressive arts therapy can involve the use of multiple modalities, such as visual arts, music, movement, drama, storytelling, poetry, and play. It is used to help individuals of all ages, including children and adults, to explore their feelings, reconcile emotional conflicts, foster self-awareness, manage behavior and addictions, develop social skills, improve reality orientation, and solve problems.
Play TherapyPlay therapy is an evidence-based, developmentally appropriate form of intervention used to facilitate emotional, cognitive, and social growth in children. Play therapy is based on the premise that play is the child's natural medium of self-expression and can be used to assess and help a child work through difficult emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. The goal of play therapy is to help children develop the skills and abilities to navigate life stressors, and build self-esteem. During treatment, the therapist creates a comfortable, safe environment (a playroom) for the child to play with as few limits as possible. The toys in the playroom are intended to encourage the child to express his or her feelings and develop healthier behaviors. The child’s “play” with these toys serve as the child’s symbolic words, which may be difficult to express otherwise.
