Ariela Yaari, Psy.D.Clinical Psychologist

Welcome to my website

As you read on, I hope you will get a “taste” of my work as a clinical psychologist. My work comprise of evaluations, individual and family therapy, mediation, coaching and counseling. Each patient is unique and thus needs a tailor-made program to suite his/her specific needs. Therefore, in the initial sessions, we examine together expectations, set goals and prioritize needs, as we prepare for the special journey – the psychological treatment. The best metaphor that illustrates the psychological journey is a voyage through deep seas. The captain is the patient, while the therapist is a companion for this special ride. At times, the sea is calm and we can move on peacefully and quickly… at other times, the sea is turbulent, and full of challenges, like insights and reflections that help us make significant changes in our lives. Through treatment, we can update belief systems, learn to meet with our personal needs, connect with our strengths, accept ourselves and learn to appreciate our uniqueness within, and make relationships with significant others work for us… The psychological treatment is a special personal process. There, we do not only learn to identify and solve problems, but also to connect, communicate and separate, to express emotions, to release old anger, to recognize the our rich and colorful personality, the masks we wear, and our “shadows”. This special private journey prepares us to mend and love ourselves, our inner child, and learn to accept and to forgive others as well. I hope this website will help you, dear surfers and seekers, to appreciate the way I see psychological treatment and you are always welcome to contact me directly via “contact me” if you have any questions.
