Gatmon, Dafna Ph.D.

My work is active, compassionate, and collaborative. I enjoy working with clients who want to have a deeper understanding of themselves to be able to make positive changes. I work with couples and individuals to create a relationship that feels safe. I help my clients gain a deeper understanding, that reveals alternative choices and a path to building more connected and meaningful relationships with themselves and within other important relationships in their lives. I also help my clients build on their strengths as I work with them supportively to attain their relationship and personal growth goals. While I primarily work from an attachment theoretical orientation, I integrate complimentary interventions to offer a personalized approach tailored to each of my clients needs. I am a Certified Daring Way™ Facilitator (CDWF). I have had intensive training in the areas of shame resiliency, authenticity, self-compassion, and wholehearted living based on the research of Dr. Brené Brown. This work reflects my own commitment and values to live wholeheartedly and use this approach in my psychotherapy work. I am originally from Israel and Sweden and have always felt curious and drawn to learning about people’s unique stories. I believe that people have tremendous resilience and that healing and growth happens in a safe connected relationship such as with a compassionate and skillful therapist.
