My room is a place to speak freely
You can bring what is painful, complicated, embarrassing or unfinished. My role is to listen with care and help you feel less alone with it.
Therapy in Ra’anana, Central Israel & online
You don’t have to figure this out alone.
I’m Avital Cohen, MSW. I offer therapy in English and Hebrew for couples and relationships, teens, and people looking for personal support, clarity and change.
My goal is to give you a steady, respectful space where you can speak honestly, feel understood, and begin to see what is happening with more compassion and perspective.
- I work in English and Hebrew
- My practice is based in Ra’anana
- I also meet clients abroad by video conference
My approach
I start by listening carefully.
When you come to therapy, you may already know exactly what hurts, or you may only know that something feels stuck, confusing or too heavy to keep carrying by yourself. In my work, I try to meet you where you are.
I believe therapy should feel human, honest and grounded. I will not rush you into answers. Instead, we will make space to understand what is happening, what you need, and what might help you move forward.
My pace is personal
I do not believe therapy should feel forced. We will work at a pace that feels safe enough for you, while still allowing real movement and growth.
My focus is understanding and change
Together, we can look at patterns, relationships, feelings and choices in a way that helps you understand yourself more clearly and respond differently.
How I help
You can come to me with relationship, teen or personal concerns.
I work with clients in English and Hebrew. You can meet me in Ra’anana when available, from Central Israel, or by video conference if you live abroad.
Couples & relationship therapy
If your relationship feels distant, tense or repetitive, I can help you slow the conversation down and understand what is really happening between you.
- Communication and recurring conflict
- Trust, closeness and emotional distance
- Relationship transitions and important decisions
Teen therapy
Teen years can be intense, even when things look “fine” from the outside. I offer a calm place for teens to speak, feel seen and build stronger inner support.
- Stress, anxiety and emotional overwhelm
- Family, school and social pressure
- Identity, confidence and self-expression
Personal therapy
You may be looking for support because something changed, something keeps repeating, or you want to understand yourself in a deeper way.
- Self-understanding and personal growth
- Life transitions and inner conflict
- Boundaries, choices and relationship patterns
Getting started
Here is what happens when you reach out.
I know that sending the first message can feel like a big step. You do not need to write everything perfectly. A short message is enough.
Send me a message
You can contact me on WhatsApp and briefly tell me what you are looking for: couples therapy, teen therapy or personal therapy.
We clarify what you need
We can discuss availability, language preference, whether you prefer Ra’anana or online sessions, and whether my work feels like the right fit.
We begin thoughtfully
If we decide to begin, we will use the first sessions to understand what brings you here and what kind of support would be most helpful.
My posts
I write about therapy, relationships and emotional life.
From time to time, I may share short reflections, updates or practical articles for people who are considering therapy or want to understand themselves and their relationships better.
