Maor Bernshtein is a relational and collaborative therapist who views the therapeutic process as a team effort, embracing a compassionate, curious, and often humorous approach. He believes that each person already holds the wisdom and insight needed to move toward their goals and dreams and sees his role as one of partnership in uncovering and amplifying that knowledge. Drawing on years of experience with clients from diverse backgrounds, Maor recognizes the courage it takes to seek help and creates a welcoming space where all parts of a person are invited to show up fully.

Maor specializes in working with individuals facing complex trauma and PTSD, borderline personality disorder (BPD), addictions, anxiety, and depression. While he supports clients across a range of concerns, he considers each client’s unique experiences and perspectives to be central to the work, seeing diagnoses as just one aspect of a person’s story.

Understanding how challenging it can be to find the right therapist, Maor hopes this introduction gives potential clients a sense of whether he might be the right fit. Regardless of who they choose to work with, he wishes all those seeking support a path toward calm, resilience, and wellbeing.
