About

Life is all about relationships. With others, and with ourselves. It's also full of conflicts, with others and... with ourselves :-) Happiness and contentedness are a result of learning how to balance those contradicting forces.

I'd love to be part of your journey to discover a beter version of yourself, and to help.you restore harmony within, with your other half and with others.

I've been working for over 20 years with families, couoles and individuals.

I am a very attentive and compassionate person. I work in a collaborative way. My goal is to be a partner to your journey, to the change you wish to make in your life, and to help you move forward, happier, more aware, and more complete with yourself, your family or your better half. My therapeutic approach concentrates on short-term treatment and emphasizes on a more open, mutual relationship. Our first phone conversation will be a short complimentary consultation, in which you'll be able to ask me anything about the process or about me.

I love helping people!

Emotional pain is real - and having the privilege to help another human being to find relief from it is priceless.

There's no great satisfaction than seeing a couple fall in love again, parents finding joy in their family life with thier children, and a person finding peace within him or herself.

I am thankful to God for allowing me this path in life and pray each day I am worthy of his trust.

    I have known Smadar Prager for several years. She is kind, intelligent and giving.
    I was in the hospital and Smadar Prager offered to cook for me and my family. I hardly knew
    her at that time. She is an active member of Congregation Ohr Torah and gives of her
    time on a weekly basis. She gives a Shiur every week in Hebrew for women. Smadar Prager
    is someone you can trust and is extremely sincere.

    Thank you dear Smadar,
    Our Skype meetings helped me to be aware of my eating habits and mostly to realize how emotional my eating was (and sometimes stile is). Thanks to you I have started a trauma focused treatment to heal my deepest wounds and with all the great knowledge and support you gave me I started a new chapter in my life.
    I lost about 25 kg and been keeping the healthy wight for almost two years now.
    Thank you!
