Child Psychologist in Rishon LeZion — A Warm, Reliable Place for Your Family

Every parent knows this feeling: your child comes home from school with sad eyes, or you hear their nighttime fears, or you see them withdrawing. You want to help, but don't know how. And it's normal to feel confused — parenting is the most challenging, yet the most important project in our lives.

My name is Irina Soselia. I'm a child and family psychologist with over 25 years of experience. I hold a Ph.D. in psychology and a clinical psychologist's license in Israel. Throughout these years, I've helped hundreds of families in Rishon LeZion and beyond find their path to understanding, peace, and healthy relationships. I know how difficult it can be to take that first step — but I also know that this step often becomes a turning point in a family's life.

Rishon LeZion is our shared home, and I know it intimately. Working here for over 20 years, I haven't just watched children grow — I've been part of our families' lives.

Here's why proximity matters:

• Consistency — The Foundation of Change. Children progress best with regular sessions. When a psychologist is nearby, you don't spend hours traveling, and therapy becomes a natural part of your week, not an ordeal.
• I Know Your Context. I work in Rishon LeZion's schools, know our teachers, understand our community's cultural nuances, and know the challenges facing families here. This allows me to work deeper and more effectively with each child.
• Language Support That Works. Many of you are immigrants; your children are growing up between languages. I speak Russian, Hebrew, and English — which means your child can speak in the language most comfortable for them and be fully heard.
• Integration Into Your Life. When needed, I coordinate with teachers and other specialists your child already knows. Everything works as one support system.

Over 25 years of practice, I've learned to see what lies behind every behavior, every fear. I use science-backed methods, but approach each child as a unique individual.

I believe every child wants to be healthy, happy, and accepted. Sometimes they just need help finding their way.

Over 25+ years of practice, I'm convinced: there are no 'difficult' children — only children who need the right support. Here's my qualification:

• <strong>Ph.D. in Psychology</strong> specializing in child and adolescent psychology
• <strong>Licensed Clinical Psychologist</strong> with a license to practice privately in Israel
• <strong>25+ years of experience</strong> working with children, adolescents, and families in Rishon LeZion and Israel
• <strong>Specialization in Neurodevelopment</strong> — advanced training in working with autism, ADHD, and other developmental differences
• <strong>Continuous Learning</strong> — I participate in supervision, conferences, and study new methods to stay at the forefront of practice
