Deborah Tobaly's experience working with the Jewish community

As an orthodox Jewish therapist, I bring a unique understanding and deep appreciation for the cultural and religious values within the Jewish community. With extensive experience both within and outside the community, including working in the Jewish religious school system, I have gained valuable insights into the specific challenges, dynamics, and sensitivities that individuals within the Jewish community may encounter.

In my work, I am dedicated to creating a therapeutic environment that respects and integrates the values and beliefs of Orthodox Judaism. I am well-versed in traditions, customs, and religious practices, allowing me to offer culturally sensitive and relevant support to individuals seeking therapy within the Jewish community.

My experience and cultural competence within the Jewish community enable me to provide a supportive and understanding therapeutic approach that addresses the unique needs and aspirations of individuals seeking therapy within this context.

Additionally, I deeply understand and empathize with the specific challenges that individuals may face within the orthodox Jewish world. I approach these challenges with a non-judgmental perspective, recognizing that each person's journey and circumstances are unique and deserving of understanding and support.

Creating a safe and accepting space where individuals can freely express their thoughts, concerns, and emotions without fear of judgment is my utmost priority. I believe in treating everyone with respect, regardless of their choices or struggles, and strive to foster an environment that encourages open dialogue and self-exploration.

My non-judgmental perspective allows me to meet individuals where they are and support them in their personal growth and healing. I deeply value and honor the autonomy and agency of each person, understanding that they have the right to make their own decisions and choices within the context of their orthodox lifestyle.

By embracing a non-judgmental stance, I aim to build a therapeutic relationship based on trust, acceptance, and collaboration. Together, we can explore the challenges specific to the orthodox Jewish world, develop insights, and work towards positive change and personal well-being.
