Esther Adams, Psy.D
Founder of TherapyInIsrael.com | Strides to Solutions Private Practice
I work with international clients navigating chronic stress, burnout, or physiologicaldysregulation—often after meaningful therapeutic work that hasn't translated into lasting change. My practice is designed for those seeking structured, immersive, and clinically sophisticated care that goes beyond the limits of standard talk therapy.
I offer 2–4 hour trauma-informed therapy intensives on a quiet horse farm in central Israel, where nature, equine-assisted therapy, and canine co-regulation support nervous system repair. This work is grounded in neuroscience, somatic psychology, and advanced trauma treatment—methodologically precise, relationally attuned, and tailored in real time to each client’s needs.
This is not alternative therapy. It is clinically anchored, adaptive care for those ready to move beyond insight into embodied integration and meaningful therapeutic progress.
