Mika Smith PhD, LCSW

ABOUT
I specialize in working with Anglo teens and young adults to:
- improve relationships and coping mechanisms with teachers, parents, and friends,
- ease adjustments to Israel’s culture and education system
- relieve stress and tension over anticipation about army service and national service
- cope with personal anxiety issues and mental health distress
I use different techniques including motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, and focused psychotherapy on working on eliminating unwanted behaviors or patterns in your life. My methods are practical, goal-oriented and individually tailored to your circumstances.
