You don’t have to figure this out on your own. 

Miriam Shaviv, Therapist based in Israel. Specializes in couples therapy. In person therapy. Psychodrama, EFT, Imago, experiential, connection, marriage counseling, couples counseling. Marriage therapy. Couples therapy.

That’s the first thing you need to know.

Most couples don’t come to therapy because they don’t love each other.

They come in because something keeps happening between them that they can’t seem to stop. And somewhere along the way, they stop feeling like they’re on the same side.

They get pulled into a familiar pattern — reacting reflexively, shutting down, misreading each other — and somewhere along the way, the connection starts to feel harder to reach.

At some point, in our relationships, in our struggles, in our grief… we need a lifeline. 

This is your place to begin again.

In person therapy based in Modiin-Maccabim-Reut. Also once weekly in Ra'anana. Ranana.

About the work

I’ve spent most of my career helping clients shape and reshape their stories.

For many years as a book editor, I helped authors shape and develop their stories. Today, I bring that same work to individuals, couples, and families—where the stories aren’t on the page, but lived, and deeply consequential.

I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches depending on the clients, the context and the goals we set.  Whether confronting patterns of conflict, rebuilding trust, or learning to communicate effectively, it is always possible to navigate these issues with resilience.

By combining evidence-based practices with a deep respect for each individual's unique story, we create a safe and supportive space for healing and growth. I most often incorporate EFT (emotion focused therapy), psychodrama, conflict resolution skills and aspects of Imago therapy. Yet at the end of the day, every person is a story unto themselves necessitating authentic connection and trust above all.

Couples

My work is experiential and relational.

That means we don’t just talk about your relationship—
we
work with what’s happening between you, in real time.

This is where change happens. Not just with tools and insight, but with new experiences of each other.

Individuals

Therapy no longer has a stigma attached to it.

More and more people have engaged in the process and realized that it isn’t only for people with problems.

It’s for anyone who wants to show up more fully themselves and grow in the ways that we intuit we were put on this planet to do. 

Family

Families are complicated.
Full of love, history, loyalty—and often, a lot that goes unspoken.

Navigating these relationships can be a lifelong journey, and when we decide to invest in them, the ripple effect of that work can be profound.
