It is incredibly heartening to see a public figure like Mayim Bialik—someone who balances the roles of actor, neuroscientist, author, and mental health advocate—using her platform to highlight the vital mission of Gesher Community Care.

Gesher Community Care’s Bi-Weekly Therapist Support Group, hosted by Shahar Yannay, LCSW, offers Jewish therapists a welcoming space to connect, reflect, and navigate the unique challenges of clinical work in today’s world.

Being a Jewish psychologist these past few years has involved some of the hardest professional experiences of my life. A sense of betrayal. Incredulity at watching a field I love move away from nuance and toward myopic binaries. A feeling that the psychological community, which is supposed to hold complexity, was itself collapsing it.
