Nice to meet you

 My name is Daniel Gefen, a haredi Clinical Social Worker (MSW) a psychotherapist specializing in working with children, adolescents, adults, and parents.
I believe that every person—at any age and in any situation—carries within them innate powers of healing and growth, and my role as a therapist is to help them discover and strengthen those inner resources.

Over the years, I have gained extensive experience working with children on the autism spectrum, children coping with anxiety, and those who have experienced emotional or sexual trauma. In addition, I provide parental guidance for parents seeking tools and insights to better support their children—even when the child is not in therapy themselves.

My therapeutic approach is empathic, sensitive, and relationship-based, tailored to the unique needs of each individual and family.
Sessions are offered in my clinics located in Ramat Beit Shemesh and Ramot, Jerusalem.

My Services

Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)

Focused and effective treatment that helps identify and change thought and behavior patterns that harm quality of life. Particularly suitable for dealing with general anxiety, social anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and more.

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)

A research-based method designed for people dealing with complex emotional difficulties, extreme mood swings, and separation anxiety. The treatment combines self-acceptance with gradual change, and provides tools for emotional regulation, interpersonal communication, and finding inner stability.

Parenting Therapy with the "Ayeka" Approach – Nurturing Parenting

A unique and practical approach to empowering parents and improving relationships with their children. The treatment assists parents of children and adolescents with severe behavioral disorders, including addictions, violence, rebellion, truancy, anxiety, and depression. The emphasis is on helping parents understand how to guide their children to take responsibility and develop into emotionally healthy functioning adults.

Treating Anxiety in Children Through Their Parents (SPACE)

An innovative treatment program developed at Yale University, and designed for parents of children suffering from anxiety. The treatment is not done with the child himself but through changing the parent's responses, thereby strengthening the child's sense of competence and reducing anxiety at home.

Psychotherapy for children on the high-functioning autism spectrum

Personalized treatment for children on the autism spectrum, incorporating emotional, social and behavioral tools. The emphasis is on developing communication, emotional regulation, self-expression and strengthening the child's sense of self-worth.

Psychodynamic therapy for children and adults who have experienced sexual abuse

Gentle emotion-based psychotherapy for children who have experienced sexual trauma, along with parental guidance. The therapeutic work focuses on restoring a sense of security, processing the traumatic experience, and strengthening supportive family bonds.
