Consider new perspectives.

Life stories are rarely written based on reality, but on a perceived reality. What would happen if you retold your stories of your hardships and traumas to emphasize the things you did well and the inner strength you harnessed to keep you moving forward, no matter what obstacle was in your way?

I’m willing to bet something good would happen.

Have you ever stopped to consider the nature of ocean waves?

Out of calm seas, the earth, moon and sun unite and harness the forces of the wind to create literal energy pulses through the water. The waves form elegantly, or sometimes chaotically, and then eventually, they always quiet again. Until the next ocean swell, that is.

If you imagine your life as the ocean, and the waves as your emotions, you’ll come to realize that emotional states are not permanent. Emotions come, and they go. Recognizing their fleeting nature takes away their power.

If you’re seeking tools to navigating the waves of mental wellness, reach out at www.galimcounseling.com and we can begin to find the tools you need to “ride the wave.”

The top priority in the therapeutic process will always be YOU - unique, one-of-a-kind, irreplaceable you.

No two people are the same, and so the therapeutic process can’t be copy-paste. At Galim Counseling, the approaches and interventions we will use together in therapy will be carefully selected to reflect your specific needs and goals for achieving mental wellness and personal fulfillment.

If you’re seeking help and feel you can benefit from an holistic, person-centered therapeutic journey, reach out at www.galimcounseling.com. We’ll set up an initial phone call and get the process started.

“The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.” (Marcel Proust)

Lockdowns and quarantines have taken their toll on our ability to roam and adventure, but that doesn’t mean we can’t keep our sense of wonder alive.

Dare yourself to a mindful moment of gratitude for this incredible city we get to call home. No matter how hard life might get sometimes, challenge yourself to notice and appreciate little every-day wonders you might otherwise be overlooking. This is one way you can begin to create your own happiness. Hint: it gets easier with practice!

It’s important to remember that all a therapist can do is offer you tools to creating your own happiness.

These approaches are just a few of the many evidence-based therapeutic interventions to resolving and processing difficult emotions in clinical psychology that I personally believe in. If you lean into the process, you’ll get to see why for yourself.

Hint: it’s because they work.

When I was younger, someone once told me that the power of the ocean lies in its ability to “meet you where you’re at.” Whatever emotion you’re feeling, whatever state you’re in, the ocean will answer to it.

Indeed, there’s something about the motion of the water, the far-away horizon, and complement of the colors in the sky that has always helped me quiet my mind and reflect on whatever is filling me at that moment in time - whether joyous or sorrowful.

Don’t be afraid to feel your emotions, embody that state of being, and lean into the (dis)comfort of it all. Healing lies in that very space of being present.

The field of mental health is varied and abundant, and so the terminology behind what kind of professional help is out there can get a bit confusing if you’re seeking help for the first time.

The important thing is to find the right fit for YOU.

But don’t get overwhelmed! At the end of the day, the various professional titles in the mental health world all intersect in their focus on understanding human behavior and promoting positive change within the scope of emotional, cognitive and mental wellness.

The truth is that it took me a while until I was ready to commit to stop tumbling around, grow roots in one place, and build a life around it. I’m so grateful everyday that Tel Aviv is that place, and I’m so excited to watch Galim Counseling grow as I fulfill my professional and personal goals, all the while helping others fulfill their own.
