Becky Fenton, PsyD's experience working with the Jewish community
In my professional experience, I've had the privilege of working extensively with the Jewish community. Being a Jewish provider myself, I understand the significance of having a therapist who is well-versed in the intricacies of one's religion, considering its integral role in clients' lives. My support extends across the diverse spectrum of the Jewish faith, including working with Chasidic clients.
I am committed to providing a non-judgmental space that acknowledges and explores the intersectionality between mental wellness and religion. Recognizing the unique challenges and nuances within the Jewish community, I strive to create an environment where individuals feel understood, respected, and supported in their journey towards mental well-being within the context of their religious beliefs.
