Jewish identity is complex, expansive, and rooted in a long history of resilience, survival, diaspora, and collective memory. Whether you identify as Ashkenazi, Sephardi, Mizrahi, multiracial, queer, trans, or part of an interfaith or culturally Jewish family, your experience of being Jewish may be shaped by both deep pride and painful disconnection. It may also include inherited trauma, antisemitism, spiritual longing, cultural joy, and political tension.

You might be navigating family histories of persecution and migration, feeling isolated in non-Jewish spaces, or struggling to find belonging in Jewish communities that do not reflect your values or identities. You may carry the weight of generational trauma, experience pressure to perform or protect your Jewishness, or feel conflicted about your relationship to religion, Zionism, or communal politics. You deserve a space where you can show up fully, without fear of judgment, erasure, or being asked to compromise your integrity.

For many Jews, healing means confronting inherited trauma, disconnection from ritual, and the grief of ongoing global violence. For anti-Zionist Jews, it can mean holding the heartbreak of state violence in Palestine while also trying to remain rooted in Jewish community, history, and identity. These tensions are not theoretical; they live in our bodies, our relationships, and our sense of home. Therapy can be a space to grieve, reconnect, and imagine a Jewishness aligned with liberation for all people.

How We Can Help

At Resilience, we offer affirming, culturally responsive therapy for Jewish individuals navigating trauma, grief, identity, and belonging. We honor the full spectrum of Jewish experience, including those who are secular, religious, questioning, disillusioned, or reconnecting. We affirm anti-Zionist Jews and all those seeking to hold their Jewishness in ways that are rooted in justice, solidarity, and care.

Our therapists provide trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, and identity-affirming care. We hold space for the complexity of what it means to be Jewish in a world where antisemitism, genocide, and displacement are ongoing—and where Jewish identity is too often co-opted to justify harm. You deserve care that honors your values and your lineage.

In therapy, we can support you with:

• Addressing intergenerational trauma and family histories of persecution or survival

• Exploring your relationship to Jewish identity, spirituality, ritual, or disconnection

• Processing antisemitism, exclusion, or invisibility in non-Jewish spaces

• Navigating grief, rage, or confusion related to Zionism, anti-Zionism, and global injustice

• Healing from internalized antisemitism, shame, or religious trauma

• Holding complexity around family expectations, collective memory, and cultural pressure

• Integrating personal and political healing in the face of communal conflict

• Making space for grief, joy, and connection in your Jewishness

• Finding belonging as a queer, trans, disabled, multiracial, or politically radical Jew

• Reclaiming cultural traditions and spiritual practices on your own terms

Together, we’ll create space for all of it; for grief, resistance, lineage, doubt, and return. Your Jewishness is enough, however it looks.

We honor the diversity of the Jewish diaspora. Whether you’re reconnecting to ritual, disentangling from religious trauma, questioning inherited beliefs, or seeking healing as an anti-Zionist Jew, therapy can be a place where your truth is held and your voice is centered.

We invite you to contact us for a free consultation to begin your journey toward healing, grounding, and cultural reclamation.
