Micki Lavin-Pell, Marriage and Family Therapist/ Dating Coach Jerusalem, 93184, Israel IsraelI am a warm and empathic therapist who enables people to feel comfortable to share. I aim to create a safe space in order to enable couples to talk to each other so that they can understand one another better. This is often difficult for couples to do on their own because they often get caught up in the emotions. In my work with individuals I provide a space that enables them to be able to best reflect on what it is that they would like to achieve, whether it be with regards to relationships, their career, or any other life goal. I believe strongly in the idea that in order to be a great therapist one must constantly work on themselves. I therefore spend a significant amount of my time inves…

Don’t Forget Yourself – Parshat Behar
It can be confusing. We hear so much about how important it is to do for others and 'paying it forward' and karma that we tend to believe that our whole existence has no validation in and of itself unless we are totally focused on others with no regard to our own needs. How about my needs and 'looking out for number one'? Isn’t that important too? Or is that too selfish? And isn't it good t …
Dear Therapist:
I am a sixteen-year-old girl, and I hope you can help me with my struggle. I will go straight to the point. I feel extremely uncomfortable in my skin; I feel very blown up and fat. I know that maybe that's not how I look, but this is how I feel. I badly want to be (super) thin. My family thinks and says I am thin. Whenever I go hungry I don't have this uncomfortable pit in my stomach. Yet …
Dear Therapist:
Today I am a married woman with a family and have friends b”h, but as a child, I didn’t have any friends. When I was with classmates and when I would try to interject with a comment my comment would go unnoticed. I only made friends after I finished school and started working. When I bump into people I knew as a child, such as classmates, I become terrified and start to shake and the unbearable pain that lays deep dow …
Dear Therapist:
I am a mother of a large family k"ah, with a B"H healthy good marriage. I have come across many times in articles, speeches, etc.… a concept that is stressed that when couples talk just between themselves (i.e. date nights, walks, or just some good old schmoozing), they shouldn't talk about the kids and about the husband's work. We are told that couples should speak about "other stuff like they spoke when the …
Dear Therapist:
We have recently experienced some significant financial difficulties which require us to change our standards of living. Up until 4-5 months ago, we were living what most people would consider a wealthy lifestyle. The reasons for the downturn are not important but it has been very rough on us as a family. This has caused my husband a lot of stress and has impacted our marriage as well. We are also having a difficult time explaini …
Dear Therapist:
What is the panel’s opinion and experience with hypnotherapy? Does hypnotherapy work? How about when regular therapy fails? I have heard that hypnosis works because it reaches your unconscious self vs traditional therapy which only works on a conscious level.
Response:
Although I have had some training and experience with hypnotherapy, I’m certainly not an expert. I can speak generally, but I defer to those pan …
