I help people live extraordinary lives full of positive relationships, love, creative expression, authentic communications, thriving careers, and mental and emotional clarity.
The approach that I have developed over the last ten years has proven to be particularly effective for people suffering from relationship and career challenges. I have helped thousands of filmmakers, musicians, writers, artists and creative people find, refine and/or rejuvenate their purposes in life – their “callings” – to undertake new endeavors and/or have more positive, fulfilling relationships.
Individual clients report that I am exceptionally skillful at quickly discerning core wounds and providing immediate solutions to help release traumas and ameliorate depression and anxiety; couples report greater understanding, compassion, ease and intimacy.
I truly enjoy helping individuals and couples cultivate meaningful and happy lives and am honored to be able to serve both in my private practice and public classes.
Je propose également des séances de thérapie en Français. N’hésitez pas à me contacter pour prendre rendezvous.

“Ira Israel has discovered the way to be fully mature and keep a childlike sense of wonder. In print and in person he is a delight to be with.” ~ Sam Keen

The wealth of ideas and practices in this illuminating work will be of benefit to all of us welcoming a new way of perceiving that has the power to transform our individual and collective lives.” ~ Shauna Shapiro
“With mastery and wit, Ira Israel challenges us to make a journey— from the identity we constructed to protect us as children, to authentic adults living a creative, meaningful and joyful life.” ~ Allan Badiner
“With this comprehensive and engaging book, Ira Israel stations himself on the cutting edge where modern psychology meets authentic spirituality. Many books that attempt to synthesize East and West fail to do justice to either, and many that draw from a broad range of sources remain on the surface of each. This one draws deeply from ancient traditions such as Advaita Vedanta and Mahayana Buddhism and blends their wisdom seamlessly with the pragmatic insights of science. Readers will find it illuminating and transformational.” ~ Phil Goldberg
“Ira Israel’s courageous and riveting new book takes on the status quo: How to Survive Your Childhood Now That You’re an Adult illuminates our society’s extremely narrow bandwidth for emotions common to us all. In particular, feelings of sadness and grief are stifled (or medicated) because the may hinder our perceived productivity and participation, even if temporarily. Ira asserts, unmistakably that happiness is only achievable when we live into it with pure authenticity, feeling all our emotion without needing to grasp or avert. He helps the reader realize the power of loving and genuine relationships that enable access to the true self. Ira provides a place to contemplate the intimacy born of nonjudgmental, intentional support in relationships where we are free to feel and process our wide range of emotions that are encompassed in the uninhibited human experience. This is a very brave book by someone with an eagle eye and an open and tremendous heart.” ~ Joanne Cacciatore
“Culling from his extensive background in philosophy, psychology, and Buddhism, Ira Israel offers a unique perspective into what we consider to be normal and provokes us to inquire into how we can be more authentic and create a more compassionate, just and healthier society.” ~ Daniel Pinchbeck
