Mollie Spiesman, LCSW's experience working with the Jewish community
As a Jewish therapist, I bring a personal connection to the Jewish religion and culture, allowing me to relate to clients across a wide spectrum of religious observance and cultural backgrounds. Through my extensive experience working with Jewish clients, I've come to appreciate the diversity within the Jewish community and the significance of individual religious journeys.
I firmly believe that having a therapist who shares a similar background can be incredibly beneficial, as it fosters a deeper understanding of the cultural and religious implications of Judaism. This shared understanding enables me to provide more tailored and empathetic support to Jewish clients, addressing their unique concerns and challenges in a way that respects and honors their religious and cultural perspectives.
