Dr Howard Chusid

Licensed Mental Health Counselor

“I specialize in helping people help themselves. We know that changes don't come from others, but from within.”

About Me

My focus is on helping you find lasting change from within. I guide individuals to uncover their own strengths and resources. True growth stems from self-discovery. We’ll explore what’s holding you back and develop practical, personal strategies you can use daily. This collaborative approach suits those eager to actively build their resilience. You can find your unique path forward.

Approach

Real change shows up when you try small experiments between sessions and notice what feels truer to you; I support that process with clear, doable steps. In sessions—whether in Jerusalem or online in English—we move at a steady, collaborative pace, alternating focused skill practice with gentle exploration of difficult memories or family dynamics. You’ll leave with practical tools to manage attention, mood, grief, or conflict and short exercises to use during the week. Folks ready to act on what they learn tend to get the most from this way of working.
