World wide, Live On line therapy!!

My name is David Ben-Gershon, and I am a licensed (Reg # 6493) Social Worker in Israel.

  During our lifetimes we have many experiences and rites of passage for which we are not prepared - some are happy, others are not.

Such experiences can be routine -  like a birthday.

When we experience something for which we know how to respond, or how to add a appropriate response to our behavior repertoire, we simply adapt.

But when we do not even imagine how to respond - we get lost.

Such experiences can be:

Marriage, relationships, infidelity, abusive relationships, parenting and coping with teens, addictions and substance abuse, dealing with stress, and grief and loss.

I have decades of clinical experience in dealing with these matters - and I can share my experience with you, wherever you are in the world, in both English and Hebrew,  in your time of need, live on line  by text or telephone.

During my years of experience, and during life in general, in the police and especially as a Social worker in a geriatric nursing home, I encountered the mortality of all of us - on a very frequent basis: Families of people who were killed in traffic accidents, in military service, in terrorist outrages, and people whose lives had run their course - and I sat with their surviving relations and friends.
