This site is for therapists with little or no familiarity in working with Orthodox Jewish clients. 

 

Clients enter therapy desperate to be understood, respected, and appreciated; increasing cultural and religious knowledge will enable therapists to provide more empathic attunement.

 

Please utilize this site as a resource for cultural and clinical insights.

People often immigrate to the United States from countries in which they are persecuted, searching for freedom, justice, and peace.
 
Holocaust survivors, asylum seekers, and other migrants may experience historical and multi-generational traumas. Leaving behind their country and loved ones will often have clinical implications in treatment.  The video below highlights traumas of immigration.

Demographics

American Jewish Population Project - Brandeis University

More than 10% of adult Jews in the United States identify as people of color.
