Medical Psychologist Online
Professional psychological support for chronic illness, medical anxiety, and health-related life transitions — in Hebrew, online, for Israelis and Hebrew speakers wherever they live.
Hadar Deutchman, Medical Psychologist
I am a licensed medical psychologist specialist (license 27-111493) and a long-distance running coach, with over 18 years of clinical experience. I work with people facing chronic illness, medical anxiety, and unexplained physical distress — helping them navigate the emotional side of a physical condition.
For about a decade I have specialized in psychological support for people living with inflammatory bowel disease, and I serve as a psychological consultant for Israel's Crohn's and Colitis patient association.
Living with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis? Read more about IBD-focused psychological support (Hebrew page — sessions available in Hebrew).

Questions & answers
What does a medical psychologist do?
A medical psychologist specializes in the connection between body and mind — how a medical condition, chronic illness, or physical symptom affects emotional wellbeing, and vice versa. Treatment combines proven psychological tools with a deep understanding of the medical context, alongside support for anxiety, depression, pain, and functional difficulties.
Who is online therapy in Hebrew for?
It's designed for Israelis and Hebrew speakers living abroad who want to process their experience in their native language, as well as anyone in Israel who prefers the flexibility of online sessions.
Do you have experience with chronic illness and IBD?
Yes. I have specialized for about a decade in psychological support for people living with inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis), and I serve as a psychological consultant for Israel's Crohn's and Colitis patient association.
Are you licensed to treat clients outside of Israel?
I am a licensed medical psychologist specialist in Israel (license 27-111493). Online therapy across borders is subject to professional judgment and to the regulations applicable in the client's place of residence — this is discussed and clarified before treatment begins.
What can I expect from a first session?
A first session is about getting to know each other — understanding what brought you to reach out, what matters to you, and checking together whether this is the right fit. There's no need to arrive with a fully organized story.
Do I need a specific diagnosis to reach out?
Not necessarily. People reach out for medical anxiety, unexplained physical symptoms, or simply a need for space to process what their body is going through — a formal diagnosis isn't a prerequisite.
