Bereavement

The deepest pain we can experience is the loss of a loved one. The grief appears to be unbearable. We feel helpless and overwhelmed. A person needs to grieve, but there are ways to get thru this terrible period without falling apart, without destroying ourselves. In many cases, the thing that mourners fear most, is to speak about the person who has left this world. And yet that may be the best way to resolve the pain and return to our own lives. For more on the Jewish view of mourning Call Derech

Conflict resolution

Don’t sweat the small stuff. Derech feels that much conflict is based on minor issues.Can we learn not to worry about things we can't change. It's not an easy process. But it is worth trying. Call Derech

Crisis Situations

 

Sometimes we want to run away and hide. The pressures seem too hard to handle. It is hard to know how to leave the crisis behind.. Some say; 'this is my burden and I just have to bear it.' We want to find a solution but we often can't 'see the wood for the trees'. That's the time when sharing your problems might be just what is needed. They say that a problem shared is a problem halved. For a non-judgmental, confidential talk, Call Derech.

Depression

 

Depression can be frightening and debilitating. Anxiety can be our worst enemy. But we can learn to fight back. But we can often use life's difficulties to grow and to lift ourselves up. The smallest flame can light up the darkest room. It's our job to find that little spark of light inside and light up our personal world again. If you would like some help to find that spark, Call Derech

Divorce

 

Just because two people are no longer in love, they don't have to become enemies. And if one decides to divorce, it doesn't have to be the end. Perhaps it can be a new beginning. We each hold the keys to our personal happiness and sometimes we have to let our head rule our heart. Call Derech

Happiness

 

There is so much in the world to be happy about. To some people joy comes naturally. What makes one person positive and delighted with the world may make no impression at all on someone else. Some can dance in the street for no apparent reason while some never smile.
It's all a matter of perspective. Call Derech

Loneliness

 

Sometimes we can be in a crowd of people and yet, be so lonely that we could cry. At other times we feel great just to be on our own. Do we need friends around us. Does alone have to mean lonely? Call Derech

Marriage

Some husbands and wives appear to disagree on everything. Maybe this is natural. We are all entitled to express ourselves. After all, we're individuals. But maybe sometimes we need to set aside our own ego and learn that it's better to be 'happy' than 'right'. For help with your marriage Call Derech

To whom it may concern,

I have known my Mashpiah, Derech for a number of years and I have found him to be  exceptionally generous, caring and considerate. In all of my dealings with him, I found his guidance insightful and invaluable. With an ability and desire to critically evaluate every situation I have discussed with him, he assesses the possibilities and assists me in finding and getting the best possible outcome. His assistance has helped me significantly improve my life in every way, spiritually, personally, financially and emotionally to such a degree that I found his guidance essential to ongoing challenges I continue to encounter.
 
I hope and pray that the invaluable advice and assistance will be as beneficial to you as it has been to me,
