In my private practice as a psychiatrist, I combine my experience in medical treatment and psychotherapy, and am working with children and adolescents with all psychiatric problems.
I was born in Moscow, Russia, and have lived and worked both in the US and Israel. I am fluent in Hebrew, English, and Russian.

TREATMENT APPROACH
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a type of psychotherapy that focuses on how one's thoughts, feelings and behaviors are connected and can be changed. It is based on the idea that how we think (cognition) and how we feel (emotion) can influence how we behave. CBT helps people identify and challenge distorted thinking and replace it with more balanced thinking, leading to improved mood and behavior. ‘Homework’, usually containing practical writing exercises, is often completed by the client between sessions to reinforce the therapy. Examples of tools that practitioners often use are journaling, challenging beliefs, and mindfulness.
