How I can support you

Three evidence-based paths to healing

Therapy here is collaborative. We choose the modalities — often in combination — that best fit your story, always at a pace that feels safe.

EMDR

Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing

EMDR is a structured, evidence-based psychotherapy developed to help the mind heal from the wounds of distressing life experiences — much as the body naturally recovers from physical injury. When something overwhelming happens, the memory can become “stuck,” stored with all of its original images, emotions, and physical sensations still raw. EMDR helps the brain access and reprocess those memories so they can finally settle into the past.

During sessions we use gentle bilateral stimulation — typically guided eye movements or soft alternating taps — while briefly holding a difficult memory in mind. This mirrors the natural processing that happens during REM sleep, allowing the nervous system to loosen the grip of the experience. You remain fully in control throughout, and we always move at a pace that feels safe for you.

For many people, EMDR eases the intensity of trauma, flashbacks, anxiety, and painful beliefs about themselves. Rather than reliving the past, you begin to relate to it differently — carrying the memory without being controlled by it, and rediscovering a sense of calm, safety, and self-trust.

CBT

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a practical, collaborative approach grounded in the idea that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are deeply connected. Often it is not events themselves that cause distress, but the meanings and interpretations we attach to them. CBT gently brings these patterns into awareness so they can be understood and, where helpful, reshaped.

Together we notice the automatic thoughts and beliefs that fuel anxiety, low mood, and self-criticism, and we test them against reality with curiosity rather than judgment. You will learn concrete tools — such as reframing unhelpful thinking, breaking overwhelming problems into manageable steps, and gradually facing avoided situations — that you can carry with you well beyond the therapy room.

CBT is especially effective for anxiety, depression, stress, and persistent worry. Because it is skills-focused and goal-oriented, many people begin to feel a renewed sense of agency: better able to respond to life’s challenges with steadiness, clarity, and a kinder inner voice.

DMT

Dance Movement Therapy

Dance Movement Therapy is a holistic, mind-body practice that uses movement as a language for what words cannot always reach. Rooted in the understanding that body and mind are inseparable, it invites you to notice how emotions live in your posture, breath, and gesture — and to explore them through gentle, expressive movement in a supportive space.

You do not need any dance experience or a particular kind of body to benefit. Sessions are guided and never performative; they might involve subtle shifts in how you breathe or hold yourself, rhythmic movement, or simply learning to feel grounded and present again. Movement becomes a way to release tension, process difficult feelings, and reconnect with your body as a source of safety rather than distress.

This approach is particularly nourishing for those carrying trauma, chronic stress, or a sense of disconnection from themselves. Over time, many people describe feeling more embodied, more expressive, and more at home in their own skin — rediscovering movement as a path back to wholeness.

In their own words

Stories of coming back to life

A few reflections, shared with permission and with names changed for privacy, on what healing has made possible.

For years I felt like I was watching my own life from behind glass. The work we did with EMDR slowly brought me back into my body — I can be present with my children now, really there, in a way I had almost given up on.

Trauma & EMDR

The heaviness of depression made even small things feel impossible. Session by session the fog began to lift. I started noticing the light again, wanting to move, wanting to reconnect with people I love.

Depression

My anxiety used to run the whole show. Lilach gave me real tools, and more than that, a place where I never felt judged. The racing thoughts still visit, but they no longer decide how my day goes.

Anxiety & CBT

Dance movement therapy taught me to listen to my body instead of fighting it. I feel my emotions rise and settle now, rather than being swept away by them. I finally feel at home in myself.
