My studies at the college were a deeply meaningful and enriching experience. 

One aspect that stood out most was the ongoing connection with the faculty—a genuine sense of guidance, with a commitment to support and assist at every stage of the learning process. Between the COVID-19 pandemic and the challenging security situation, this kind of support was nothing short of essential.

I began my practical experience at Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital as part of the program, and I now work there as a counselor in the adolescent psychiatric ward—a role that is an integral part of my path toward a master’s degree in clinical psychology.

In my role, I accompany the nursing staff during their shifts and support the hospitalized adolescents throughout their stay in the ward. Beyond the technical aspects of the job, I engage with patients on a daily basis—playing, talking, identifying emotional challenges, and helping them develop tailored emotional regulation strategies.
