Gershon believes that no two people are the same—and therapy shouldn’t treat them as if they are.

There is an old saying: “If the only tool you have is a hammer, everything begins to look like a nail.” Gershon has spent years building a broad therapeutic toolbox so that he can choose the approach that fits the person, rather than expecting every client to fit the same model.

With extensive clinical experience, Gershon works with individuals and couples facing relationship difficulties, addictions, grief, and other life challenges. He approaches his work from a family-systems perspective and draws from CBT, Emotionally Focused Therapy, EMDR, Gestalt, and psychodynamic therapy.

Gershon believes that therapy is a partnership. He takes time to build trust, understand what is really happening, and develop an individualized plan. His peers describe him as skilled, insightful, and compassionate, and he works to create a warm, safe environment where clients can feel understood and begin to make meaningful changes.

A particular area of experience for Gershon is addiction and compulsive behavior. He has worked extensively with addictions and lectures on addiction and marriage at professional training programs. He also has a special interest in helping people whose technology use has become difficult to control.

Gershon has extensive experience working with couples, including a two-year internship specializing in couples therapy. He helps partners understand the patterns that keep them stuck, reconnect with what matters to them, and build more authentic and meaningful relationships.

Since making Aliyah in 2008, Gershon has also worked extensively with Olim and Ba’alei Teshuvah, supporting people navigating major changes in identity, community, and relationships.

Gershon began his career in business before becoming a therapist. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Business and Accounting from the University of Hartford and a Master’s degree in Clinical Sociology from the University of North Texas. He completed postgraduate training at The Family Institute of Neve Yerushalayim, followed by additional training in CBT, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and EMDR.

He also lectures and writes on relationships, grief, addiction, and marriage, and has been involved in developing support groups for people dealing with grief and compulsive technology use.

At the heart of Gershon’s work is a belief that people have the power to change. Therapy can help uncover that power, develop greater insight, and create a more fulfilling life.
