My Journey with Online Therapy

My connection to online therapy began when I was looking for therapy for myself. During my psychotherapy training in London, I realized that I had been running on autopilot for quite some time. I had lost my joy for life and was merely surviving, which caused me a great deal of frustration. I knew I couldn't continue like this, so I started searching for a therapist. Following a recommendation from a professor, I found an English therapist.

She was actually Colombian but had lived in London for many years. In each session, I spent a lot of time trying to find the right English words to describe my feelings. It was hard to convey basic emotions rooted in the Israeli experience. Bridging the cultural and language gaps left little time to process my feelings and challenges. Despite us both being immigrants, there was a fundamental common ground that was missing.

This experience led me to understand that I needed a professional who spoke Hebrew, understood my cultural background, and was familiar with the challenges of relocation. I wanted someone who had gone through what I was experiencing—an Israeli therapist who could help me work through my difficulties in a way that felt natural and understood. This realization is what drives my work today with Israelis and Hebrew speakers, both couples and individuals, living abroad.
