My name is Maor Bernshtein,
I am a social worker and a therapist, and I specialize in relational, collaborative, and trauma-focused counselling.
It’s true that many people living with trauma and mental health often feel stuck, lost, and hopeless.
Some of the most common issues I hear when I meet with clients include feeling “like nothing helps” or “I’ve tried everything and I’m still stuck”. I hear how, despite all the time and effort, despite the deep desire to be free of emotional pain, we sometimes find ourselves drowning in it.

To me, understanding your pain is the first step..
That’s why I offer a counselling approach that puts you in its center, so that you can find stability, heal wounds (like emotional pain and trauma), and reclaim whole-being. In a word, I help want to help you get un-stuck.
Above all else, I value trust, wisdom, and out-of-box thinking. This has been true for me in both my personal and professional life.

I will not try to fit you into a theoretical box, moving beyond a one-method-fits-all type of therapy.
My promise is to work with you to co-create a modality that works for you, one that has you at its center.
Pathway to Self was created to bring just that: a path back to where you know you deserve to be.
And this path cannot be created without you.

My approach borrows from a variety of modalities that
help us find calm, stability, and meaning.
