I am a licensed clinical psychologist in practice with infants, children, young adults, adults, couples & families. I acknowledge that suffering experienced in relation to anxiety, depression, relationship issues, developmental difficulties, marital distress, parenting, trauma, illness, medical conditions, physical pain experienced in relation to physical injuries, illness & other experiences can result in debilitating distress.
Amongst other roles, I also have served as a founder of companies including Tech and understand the incredible toll & joy startup life takes. In my practice I cognize that choosing a psychologist & treatment modality can be difficult and confusing. I am here to attempt answering questions you may have about the process of therapy, analysis, or brief analysis.

I had several sessions Therapy with Dr. Hirshfeld and did not find her helpful and caring at all. She had very little interaction with me and mostly remained silent during the therapy. Not recommended.
In response to Dr. Hirshfeld: People are not too stupid to review you here with their real name. I see below you blame another patient of writing fake review. It's not ethical. Everybody is entitled to their own opinion on Google review.

I was looking to resolve some of my interconnection problems, however Ayelet would focus only on my dreams and those had very clear interpretations in my daily life. She was hoping my problems would resolve themselves if I randomly talk about different parts of my life while she is typing things down.
I eventually asked her to give up her dream interpretation method and have face to face interaction with me. That was when I realized she has forgotten many parts of my life even tho she had typed them down and could have at least reviewed before the session.
Sessions are shorter than an hour

Horrible. Our insurance company recommended her for testing, however, when I called, she's not available for testing. I called the insurance company back and they are contacting her because she's SUPPOSED to let them know if she doesn't have availability for the next two weeks...which INCLUDES testing, not just regular appointments. If your insurance company recommends her for testing, don't bother calling, she only books a week out and testing takes multiple hours and days back to back.

Dr Ayelet Hirshfeld is an extremely skilled clinician with extensive experience. She greatly helped me by diagnosing my condition accurately, working together with my psychiatrist to adjust my medications & rule out medical conditions.
She remained available during difficult times & is highly accessible.
I greatly enjoyed my personal journey and grew as a person during my own psychotherapy course. I recommend her warmly without any hesitation.

Last year, I was in crisis and saw Dr Hirshfeld for several sessions. She just asked questions and wanted me to talk and talk. I did not receive any guidance or practical help. In all these sessions she did not speak more than 20 words. I did not find her useful at all and finally stopped seeing her, however, shortly after that my life was ruined, and I wish I'd seen another Dr and had not wasted my time with her. She just thought about earning money and setting up appointment back to back. She never cared about me and my feelings. I don't recommend her to anybody.
