“Dr. Yaniv has followed our family for over 10 years. We met under the worst of circumstances when my husband was diagnosed with terminal cancer at the young age of 37. At that time, we had a young family with children aged 3, 7 and 8. It is with confidence that we relied on Dr. Yaniv for individual and family counseling. His support was and has been invaluable to us during our family crisis, before, during and after my husband’s passing after two years battling with illness.

To this day, we seek out Dr. Yaniv’s expertise in all areas of our lives, for educational, moral and emotional support.”

“A little over three years ago I had completely given up hope. I felt like I was drowning and was praying for someone to throw me a life preserver. The day that I sat across from Lisa was the beginning of the best chapter of my life. Therapy with Lisa is hardwork. She validates my feelings. She sets goals and celebrates my accomplishments. She’s available and reminds me that I’m not alone.

Knowing that I have Lisa by my side helps me get through difficult times and helps me appreciate each achievement. I am forever grateful for Lisa’s knowledge and support and for giving me the tools to get through each day. Because of her, I have learned self-compassion, mindfulness and how to truly be kind to myself.”
