About the “Shiluv” Institute
High Quality Therapies in the field of the Family since 1971
About us
The “Shiluv” Institute for Family and Couple Therapy was established in Jerusalem over 50 years ago, in 1971, to treat families and couples from all walks of life, regardless of their financial situation, who are suffering from emotional distress and experiencing difficulties in their lives.,
More than 25 professionals work at the Institute, all of whom have a wealth of experience, are experts in couple and family therapy, and many are leaders in their fields.
The staff at the Institute treats hundreds of families and couples every year, and since its founding, has gained in stature, not only in Jerusalem, but around the country.
Couples and families frequently have to deal with stressful and crisis situations: severe financial hardship, trauma, illness, children with special needs, marital difficulties and more. Sometimes, these crisis situations are caused due to the complexity and burden placed upon people in their normative life. In such instances, the functioning of couples and families may be impaired in different areas.
In its therapeutic approach, the staff of the Institute focuses on the entire family system. This is based on the assumption that the family as a whole is impacted in situations of crisis, and the power for healing and rehabilitation also lies within the family itself.
We believe that providing therapy for the entire family and giving them tools with which to cope is appropriate for each individual, and are prerequisites for a good and fulfilling life.
In addition to our team of therapists, the Institute also runs a teaching and training center intended for professionals who are interested in specializing and developing in the field of Couple and Family Therapy.
