I’m Shye Leykin, a licensed social worker in Israel and a CASAC. I work mainly with individuals seeking support with addictions, substance abuse, anxiety, and depression. My practice welcomes English-speaking clients in Israel, including yeshiva students and people who have made aliyah.
As a younger practitioner, I bring an understanding of the younger generation and an openness to developing approaches in therapy. I am a religious Jew and welcome clients from religious and nonreligious backgrounds. I believe everyone deserves help, and that reaching out is a meaningful place to begin.
Licensed as a social worker in Israel. Not licensed in the United States.
A practical, collaborative approach
My main approach is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which explores connections between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Sessions offer a space to discuss what you are facing and work together on ways forward.
Thoughts, feelings and behavior
CBT looks at how the three affect each other, in the situations you bring.
Shaped around you
What you work on, and how, comes from your own goals and circumstances.
Working together
Sessions are a space to talk through what you’re facing and look for ways forward together.
