The right methods work. Let’s get to know them.
You’ll walk away smarter. No more haziness or helplessness, just confidence and clarity.
Learn what works — and why
Discover the most effective therapeutic techniques for anxiety, depression, OCD, eating disorders, addiction, trauma, and more — all from top experts.
Get practical tools you can use right away
Walk away with a hands-on toolkit to navigate therapy more effectively — for yourself, your family, your students, or your clients.
​
Get crystal clear on the therapy process
Understand what an ideal therapy journey should look like — so you can recognize progress, set clear goals, and avoid wasted time and money.
​
Take charge of your own journey
Gain your own expertise (beyond the buzzwords!) to recognize effective therapy and demand higher standards — no more blindly following just because they’re the professional.
​Know how to tell if your therapist can help you.
Learn how to spot red flags, choose the right professional, and set yourself/others up for maximum success in therapy.
​
​
Build stronger, healthier kids
Understand how to support children with practical, proactive parenting — and when therapy is needed, how to get effective care.
​
Gaining clarity means gaining more from therapy.
There are ways to know if a therapist is helping you move toward your goals, if the time-frame is realistic, if therapy is even the right solution.
The answers are out there!
-
World-class experts who are happy to share what their years of experience has taught them
-
Proven methods that have been shown to actually treat mental health issues (long-term!) in hundreds, sometimes thousands, of clinical trials (and what that means).
But that information isn’t easily accessible.
​
You know that — because you’ve tried.
Gone through different therapists, consulted with people who have been there, and Googled your issue endlessly. But none of it made you think, “Okay, I know what’s going on here and I see a way out.”
​
And that’s because those solutions are scattered and inaccessible. They’re:
-
Discussed by researchers in universities — not in the pages of your weekly magazine.
-
Used by top therapists — but completely lost on so many self-proclaimed experts.
-
Hidden in various textbooks, websites, or tucked away in people’s minds — not in one easy-to-find place.
Until now.

You may be wondering...
Who is this virtual event for? Any frum person interested in learning more about therapy or mental health — whether you’re in therapy, considering it, or guiding others. While therapists will benefit from advanced discussions, this event is designed to be practical and accessible for everyone. Parents, educators, Rabbanim, and mental health professionals will all find actionable insights.
What will I gain from attending? Clarity. Confidence. Direction. You’ll get expert insights, practical tools, and a clearer understanding of what good therapy should look like — so you can make informed choices for yourself, your family, or people who turn to you for guidance.
What topics will be covered? Anxiety, Depression, OCD, eating disorders, addiction, personality disorders, trauma, ADHD and more. We’ll also tackle the biggest issues in today’s therapy landscape, from choosing a therapist to overdiagnosis to lack of clear progress.
I’m already in therapy. Do I still need this? Knowing what to expect from therapy, how to measure progress, and when to ask the right questions can mean the difference between a drawn-out, confusing journey and a smooth, effective one. This event will help you feel confident and informed, ensuring you're making the most of your therapy — without wasting time or money. You'll gain the tools to evaluate your therapy experience, recognize what’s working (and what’s not), and determine the next steps.
Will the Therapy Should Work Event promote a specific therapy approach? No. We’re here to provide knowledge, not push an agenda. You’ll hear from experts across different modalities, offering a broad and balanced perspective. You'll walk out with clarity on what science-backed treatment in mental health care looks like.
I don’t have time to watch presentations. Should I still sign up? Yes! Signing up is free, so if anything about this interests you, you have nothing to lose — and, if you find those pockets of time, everything to gain. You don’t have to watch every session: just pick the ones that matter most to you. Whatever you choose, your time will be well spent. Each interview is designed to be clear, practical, and to the point.
I’ve signed up for online events before and found them too theoretical. How do I know this will be different? The Therapy Should Work Event will give you the knowledge you need to make informed mental health related decisions. While some sessions will share real-world examples, the focus is on deepening your understanding, so you can navigate the mental health world with confidence and clarity.
How do I know I can trust the speakers? We’ve done the vetting for you. Our speakers are the MBDs, Frieds and Schwekeys of the therapy world, chosen not just for their credentials but for their real-world experience. These are professionals who understand what truly works in therapy — and have the results to back it up.
My family member is/I am struggling with a SERIOUS mental health disorder. Will this event be helpful? The presentations will give you essential knowledge to navigate the system, understand different treatment options, and advocate for the right care. You’ll gain insights from experts who work with serious mental health conditions — helping you make informed decisions with confidence.
