Hi! My name is Gavriel Forman.
I am a Licensed Master Social Worker with a passion for helping people reconnect
with their authentic selves. I earned my Master of Social Work at Yeshiva University's Wurzweiler Graduate School, and my Bachelor of Psychology at Touro University. Additionally, I completed my semichah studies (Rabbinic Ordination) at Touro's Beis Medrash L'Talmud in Queens, NY.

I've been privileged to work with adolescents and adults navigating a variety of concerns including depression, anxiety, adjustment challenges, and the impacts of past experiences. I've developed my skills in diverse environments—as a school social worker, at an inpatient detox & addiction rehabilitation center, and in private practice—each deepening my understanding of how people heal and grow.
Currently, I offer therapy from my private practice in Bet Shemesh, as well as
telehealth sessions throughout Israel. My approach is rooted in Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, which recognizes that we all have different parts of ourselves that show up in various ways throughout our lives. Rather than trying to fix or eliminate difficult feelings, we'll explore them with kindness and understanding, helping you develop a different relationship with your anxiety, inner critic, and those overwhelming thoughts that can feel so consuming.

I'm particularly drawn to working with people who feel stuck in patterns of perfectionism, self-doubt, and disconnection from themselves. Through our work together, you'll discover that you already have everything you need to heal and find your way back to who you really are.
My goal is to create a warm environment that encourages reflection and growth, leading to greater self-awareness, acceptance, and presence in your life.
