Hi, I'm Tamar.
For most of a decade I did two things at once. In schools, I worked as a dance movement therapist with children, and counseled their parents. In research, I managed a social cognition and psychophysiology lab, and my PhD looked at how feelings spread between people in a group, and how our attachment styles shape that.
All of it came back to one question: how attuned we are to each other, and what happens when we are not. Today that question sits in most family living rooms, with a screen in the middle of it. That is the work I do now, with parents, with kids, and with both of them together.
- PhD, Social Work, Tel Aviv University
- MA, Dance Movement Therapy, University of Haifa
- BA, Psychology, Reichman University
- Sessions in English and Hebrew
A screen ban stops at your front door. Critical thinking travels with them.
So the work is not only what to avoid. It is what to practice, and parents and kids practice it together.
I don't tell you when to give the phone. I help you be ready for the day you do, and for everything after. Every family is different. I bring the science and a framework, and you decide what fits your home. Rules that are understood, not just imposed, are the ones that hold.
Science you can trust, from someone who has sat with families.
- Research training. A PhD, years teaching statistics and research methods, and running a psychophysiology lab. I read studies at the source and know which ones hold up.
- Clinical practice. Years of therapy with children and counseling their parents, inside the school system.
- Recognized guidance. I work within established pediatric guidance, including the American Academy of Pediatrics' Family Media Plan.
- Kept current. This field changes fast. I follow new research, platform changes and policy as they land.
