Nice to meet you
Hello, I am Sivan Avni, a certified marriage and family counselor and a therapist specializing in Family Constellation and Differentiation. In my clinic in Kiryat Tivon and online, I guide couples and families through processes of emotional growth and development.
Since 2015, I have gained extensive experience in guiding and supporting parents. In 2018, I was certified as a marriage and family counselor by the Idan HaHorut College in collaboration with Tel-Hai College. The same year, I received certification as a Family Constellation facilitator and therapist at "The Constellation Path" school under Yishai Gaster. In 2020, I was certified in Differentiation-Based Couples Therapy at the Meggad School of Psychotherapy. In 2023, I was honored to be part of the first cohort of the International School for Systemic and Family Constellation Therapy, a wonderful year during which I had the privilege of learning personally from the world's leading Constellation therapists, the first-generation students of Bert Hellinger.
I hold a Master's degree in Jewish History from the University of Haifa and a Bachelor's degree in History with a teaching certificate from Oranim College, both of which I completed with honors.
Before starting my training as a marriage and family counselor, I worked for a decade as a teacher and educator in secondary education, providing me with unique experience in working with adolescents and understanding educational and family systems.
Additionally, I have many years of experience as a postpartum doula and an early childhood parenting instructor, including working with couples facing relationship challenges during the early years of parenting.
אני בעלת תואר שני בתולדות עם ישראל מאוניברסיטת חיפה ותואר ראשון בהיסטוריה עם תעודת הוראה ממכללת אורנים, את שניהם סיימתי בהצטיינות.
בטרם התחלתי את הכשרתי כיועצת זוגית ומשפחתית, עבדתי עשור כמורה ומחנכת בחינוך העל-יסודי, מה שהקנה לי ניסיון ייחודי בעבודה עם מתבגרים והבנת המערכות החינוכיות והמשפחתיות. כמו כן, יש לי ניסיון רב שנים כדולה לאחר לידה ומדריכת הורים לגיל הרך, הכולל ניסיון בעבודה עם זוגות המתמודדים עם אתגרי הקשר הזוגי בשנות ההורות הראשונות.
My Therapeutic Approach
I believe in the power of every individual and couple to find their path to growth and development. My approach combines Family Constellation and Differentiation, helping to identify family patterns and bring awareness to the connections and influences within the family system. I believe that through an empathetic and professional therapeutic process, significant change can be created, improving the couple's relationship and enhancing the sense of happiness and satisfaction in personal and family life.
Difficulties in relationships reflect the existing dynamics between partners. These dynamics stem from unconscious emotional factors that influence each partner's perceptions and behaviors, as well as the way they communicate. Couples therapy based on Family Constellation allows you to learn and understand how your early relationship systems influence and shape your current interactions, or in other words, how each partner's family history affects your present relationship. This process combines tools from Family Constellation with Differentiation-Based Psychotherapy, offering systemic therapeutic approaches that are deep, efficient, and impactful.
