"When I moved to Israel for university, I thought the hard part would be classes. But it was the loneliness and homesickness that hit the hardest. I didn’t know who to talk to or how to even start unpacking what I was feeling. Shemesh Therapy matched me with a therapist who truly gets what it's like to be an Anglo in Israel — someone I could speak to without having to explain all the cultural stuff first. It’s been the most stabilizing part of my time here. I feel more grounded, more myself, and more hopeful than I have in a long time"

Leah R., IDC Herzliya Student

"​As a mom of three trying to juggle work, parenting, and just staying sane, I reached a point where I felt like I was drowning. I kept blaming myself for not being 'enough.' Shemesh Therapy was a turning point for me. For the first time, I felt heard. My therapist helped me find compassion for myself, and we’ve worked through the guilt and pressure I’ve been carrying for years. I genuinely feel like a better version of myself — as a mother, wife, and woman. I wish I’d found Shemesh sooner"

Rina S., Mom in Modiin

"When I finished my service, I thought the worst was over. But it wasn’t. I couldn’t sleep, I kept reliving things, and I felt completely disconnected from my family and friends. I didn’t know how to ask for help — especially not in Hebrew. A friend told me about Shemesh Therapy, and it honestly changed everything. My therapist didn’t just listen — she understood. She helped me face things I’ve been avoiding for years. I still have work to do, but now I feel like I have someone in my corner."

Josh D., Former Lone Soldier, Tel Aviv

"Living in Tel Aviv looks amazing on the outside — the beaches, the cafes, the startup vibe — but inside I was falling apart. I was dealing with burnout, constant anxiety, and this heavy feeling of not knowing who I was anymore. I felt disconnected — from my family back home, from my goals, from myself.

A friend recommended Shemesh Therapy, and honestly, I was skeptical. I’d tried therapy before and felt like it didn’t get me. But Shemesh matched me with a therapist who totally understood the chaos and loneliness that can come with being an olah in this city. Someone who helped me unpack the pressure I was carrying and taught me how to actually take care of myself.

It's been a lifeline. I'm not just surviving anymore — I’m starting to feel alive again."

Naomi G., 28, Tel Aviv
