The Clinic
We are excited to announce the opening of our new English and Hebrew teen therapy programs funded by the kupat cholim!
Kav L’Noar in partnership with the Lamerhav Institute is now offering goal-oriented therapy for young people aged 12-21 and their parents, in our new beautiful location near Jerusalem's central bus station.
Our team of therapists includes both native English and Hebrew speakers all certified by the Ministry of Health and the Kupot Cholim. They are experienced with working with this age group and focus on evidence-based professional therapeutic methods.
