Myra provides short-term consultation on a variety of psycho-social personal or professional issues. At times we may be grappling with a challenging situation we don’t want to discuss with our family and friends and don’t know where to turn. It helps to reach out to a trustworthy and objective professional who ensures confidentiality for guidance and support.
Myra’s extensive experience with Holocaust survivors as a community worker, researcher, and therapist, give her a unique, in-depth understanding of trauma survivor related issues. She works with individuals, families, and organizations.
Myra works with the descendants of trauma survivors who wish to explore the impact of their parents’legacy on their lives. She also helps descendants explore and cope with their caregiving roles and needs as they provide care for their aging parents.
Myra advises health care providers, communities, and individuals in the development of service networks and programs that integrate person-centred trauma-informed practice concepts, empower survivors, facilitate healing, and provide meaning and purpose. She also works with community agencies and funding bodies that sponsor service networks and provide recovery programs for survivors of traumatic events. Myra can assist frontline service providers, groups, and individuals (such as filmmakers, oral historians, writers, students, and laypersons) who seek sensitivity training in their interactions with survivors and on issues specific to projects that involve survivors.
