"Yael is a seasoned Art Therapist who stands out among her colleagues because of her enthusiasm, passion, and genuine interest in her clients. She creates art interventions that are thoughtful, and above all, help clients achieve realistic goals. She is able to do this through her passionate presence with client's, tuning into what they need to work on in therapy, and finding a creative method to achieve that success. Yael has been an inspiration to her clients and an example to professionals in the field of Art Therapy of how to manage the stress in life and maintain a positive, healthy attitude. I have always admired her contagious laughter and warming smile that shows just how much she brings joy to any situation. Even when others find themselves in a state of hopeless or suffering, Yael knows just how to bring a little light at the end of the tunnel to help find the way out."
