Introduction

I’m Yael, a clinical social worker specializing in art therapy and psychotherapy for children and adolescents. In my work, I use a dynamic blend of creative tools, artistic expression, play, and conversation to help young minds grow and build resilience. My approach is deeply personalized. I believe every child is unique and deserves a therapeutic experience that meets their individual needs. Whether through the strokes of a paintbrush, the magic of play, or the power of words, I strive to create a safe space for self-discovery and emotional expression. I also recognize the central role parents play in a child’s emotional world. Alongside my work with children, I offer parent guidance as part of the therapeutic process. Parents often seek tools to better understand and support their child, deepen communication, and strengthen connections within the family. Sometimes, this process begins with exploring oneself; how our own experiences, emotions, and responses shape the way we relate to our children. These meetings provide a space to reflect together, explore challenges with curiosity and compassion, and find meaningful ways to foster growth at home. I see this collaboration with parents as essential to helping each child thrive, ensuring that both child and parent feel supported and understood. If this sounds like something you and your family could benefit from, I invite you to contact me for a consultation.
