About Shye

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.
