About Us: Lafayette Hebrew Speaking Therapy
Our Journey and Founding
Lafayette Hebrew Speaking Therapy (LHST) was established in 2017 with a vision to bridge the gap in accessible, reliable, and unbiased information about Jewish mental health and therapy specifically tailored to the Hebrew-speaking community. Founded by a group of dedicated professionals united by their passion for both psychology and Jewish culture, our website has grown from a humble beginning to become a vibrant resource hub.
Mission and Core Values
Our mission is to empower individuals within the Hebrew-speaking community by providing an extensive online platform offering educational resources, support, and professional connections related to mental health and therapy. We strive for:
- Accuracy and Unbiased Information: We ensure all content is meticulously researched, fact-checked, and presented without bias, upholding the highest standards of integrity in our field.
- Reliability: Our sources are credible, and we provide references whenever possible, allowing readers to verify the information for themselves.
- Inclusivity: LHST welcomes individuals from diverse backgrounds, offering content that is sensitive to cultural nuances and accessible to a wide audience.
Addressing an Unmet Need
The internet abounds with general mental health resources but lacks focused, culturally sensitive material tailored to Hebrew-speaking Jews. This gap inspired us to create a dedicated platform where individuals can find specific answers to their unique challenges while exploring the intersection of Jewish culture and therapy.

- Individuals seeking information about various mental health topics from a Jewish perspective.
- Therapists, counselors, or psychologists interested in expanding their knowledge base and connecting with peers.
- Families and communities looking for support and resources to foster mental well-being within their groups.
We encourage engagement through comments on blog posts, feedback forms, and active participation in our online discussions. Your input is invaluable in shaping the direction of our content and ensuring it remains relevant and helpful.
