Exploring Jewish Identity: One-on-One Sessions
This is a personal, creative, and emotionally grounded therapy experience for Jewish adults who want to explore who they are, what matters to them, and how their Jewish identity shapes their life. It’s a space to reflect, process, and expand your understanding of what it means to be Jewish both in your personal life and in the broader context of today’s world.
This is a collaborative, curiosity-driven journey that meets you where you are and supports you in shaping a life and identity that feel authentic.
Why This Work Matters
Your Jewish identity is more than heritage or tradition—it’s a lens through which you experience your relationships, choices, and daily life. Exploring it deeply can help you:
- Feel grounded in yourself: Understand who you are at your core, beyond external expectations.
- Clarify values and purpose: Identify what truly matters so your decisions and daily life feel aligned and meaningful.
- Navigate complexity and tension: Process feelings of conflict, uncertainty, or disconnection in family, community, or personal beliefs.
- Deepen belonging: Strengthen your connection to Jewish culture, heritage, and community in a way that feels authentic and empowering.
- Develop emotional insight and resilience: Notice and work with feelings about history, tradition, and current events without being overwhelmed.
- Explore creatively and reflectively: Use storytelling, imagery, and metaphor to discover new insights about yourself, your life story, and what brings you meaning.
- Connect to spirituality and meaning: Explore how Jewish traditions, stories, and rituals can enrich your inner life and support a sense of purpose, wonder, and personal connection to something larger.

What We’ll Explore Together
In one-to-one sessions, we’ll focus on practical and emotional reflection through narrative and creative tools:
- Your story and roots: How your family, community, and heritage have shaped who you are
- Your identity in action: How your Jewish self shows up in your daily life, relationships, and decisions
- Your emotions and values: How feelings of connection, conflict, pride, or uncertainty relate to faith, traditions, and history
- Your meaning and belonging: What feels authentic, sustaining, and fulfilling, and how you want to carry that forward
- Creative noticing: Imagery, metaphor, and storytelling as tools to surface insight and reflection
This process is depth-oriented, integrative, and expansive, combining emotional processing, narrative exploration, and self-discovery, while drawing on Jewish stories, rituals, values, and spiritual practices to illuminate your identity and meaning.
