Shiri Establishes a Healing Therapy Space

My story

I’m Shiri, a married mother of four from Moshav Nir Moshe in the south. As a social worker and therapist with over 20 years of experience, I have dedicated my professional life to supporting families through complex situations. I worked for a decade at the Eshkol Resilience Center and currently treat youth and young adults to prevent mental health deterioration. Over the years, I specialized in various trauma-focused methods (such as EMDR and SE), driven by a deep understanding of the unique needs of residents in this region. Today, the demand for therapy has risen drastically, but a lack of physical space limits my ability to help. My mission is to expand the therapeutic response and provide my patients and colleagues with a professional, empowering space.

Micro lending, Macro Impact

This loan will allow me to place a mobile structure on our farm to serve as a permanent, accessible clinic. This investment is critical, as it will enable me to significantly increase therapy hours and respond to the many inquiries I currently have to refer elsewhere due to lack of space. Beyond expanding my private practice, the clinic will serve as an important therapeutic anchor in the south, providing space for group sessions and strengthening the mental health infrastructure in a region that needs it more than ever.

My business - My spark

The unique value of my clinic lies in the combination of broad clinical expertise and a deep, personal familiarity with community resilience in the south. I provide a wide range of services, including sexual, couple, and family therapy, alongside therapist supervision and group facilitation. My approach integrates mind-body tools tailored to each patient, emphasizing the creation of a safe and containing environment that allows for trauma processing and growth through crisis.

A few more words

My dream is to provide a true healing space that integrates mind and body methods, strengthening the coping capacity of people in my community. I believe that within this new clinic, I will be able to offer healing to a greater number of patients and help them find the inner strength to recover and flourish once again.
