For Clients
"When we focus our energy towards constructing a passionate, meaningful life, we are tossing a pebble into the world creating a beautiful ripple effect of inspiration." - Christine Mason Miller
We're here for you
Our goal is simple - to support you in your journey towards mental wellness and personal fulfillment. We recognize your struggle to navigate how and where to find resources as an international in Tel Aviv, and so we aim to provide easier access to therapists and wellness practitioners offering services in the language you feel most comfortable.
Let us help you find the right therapist for your needs
Unsure of who might be the best fit for you? Don't hesitate to reach out through our contact form. With the aid of a few simple questions to clarify your needs, we will try our best to refer you to a practitioner best equipped to help you carry and lighten the load - either through the wonderful team present in our clinic space or through the more expansive network of the Therapist Social Club.
In case of emergencies...
It's important for us to emphasize that we are not an emergency response service. Our therapists are private practitioners, and as such they are not equipped with the same resources as larger emergency response organizations. If you are in danger or need immediate assistance, please call 100 (police), 1201 (Iran - national suicide hotline), or your healthcare provider for clearance to arrive at the nearest emergency hospital.

* All therapists at ADVAH are private practitioners

Areas of Focus: Building strength, nurturing a compassionate relationship with the self, navigating confusion, transitional life periods, anxiety, stress & burnout, understanding the desire for certainty & control, leaning into discomfort with patience, communication & relationships, physical health difficulties, and emotional processing.
Therapeutic approach: Utilising techniques from CBT /ACT, narrative therapy, compassion-focused therapy, psycho-education and mindfulness.

Through curiosity and an openness to where conversation can lead, we work on building an alternative narrative enabling full, non-judgemental expression, and endless possibilities.”

Together, we will lean into the discomfort, ground our self-narratives, find space for self-compassion, and harness the power to grow through whatever trials life throws our way.”
