- Depression and/or anxiety, health issues, low self esteem, childhood trauma, physical abuse, sexual abuse, addiction, grief, rage, relationship problems, performance anxiety, creativity blocks, insomnia, stress.
- Purpose: I see myself as a facilitator without an agenda, who assists others in reaching a higher potential.
- Creativity: We are first and foremost all creative beings. This creativity is central in helping us to journey successfully through life and manifest our higher selves. Creativity has astounding healing power. Further more, we are vastly resourceful and whole.
- Change: We can all become masters of change; we can actively choose and create our life journey.
- Healing: We can be healed (though not necessarily "cured"). By healing I mean, we can all find meaning in what is happening, discover the power to grow and bloom from our life's experiences.

I am Shulamit Lando. I have a talent to really listen — also with my heart. I can help you succeed in solving your problems, whatever they may be. I was born in Mexico and trained there in a variety of psychotherapy modes. Being both an actress and dancer in my early adulthood, I have always placed emphasis on the mind/body connection.
Because of personal physical challenges I was trained primarily as a body-oriented psychotherapist and went on from there to learn an array of different therapies.
Read about my personal story and my therapeutic approach
Partly as a result of my personal challenges with health and my work with difficult, chronic and terminal patients in Mexico I became trained in EMDR and Brainspotting (BSP).
I assure you, even in the depths of pain, desolation and grief, there is hope to be found. Though the pain will always have a part in your life, there is a way for you to go on with a fruitful and fulfilling life.
In addition to my in mind-body orientation, I also trained in more mainstream therapies such as: psychodynamic, Eriksonian Hypnosis, Gestalt as well as movement therapy, music therapy, psychodrama and art therapies. During all of this time I included work with dreams and guided visualization in my practice.
Today I see clients dealing with a range of problems such as:
My therapeutic perspective can be summarized in these principles:
More recently I have incorporated energy therapies like EFT and Psych-K, that use techniques like kinesiology (muscle testing) and tapping on certain specific energy points based on the meridians of the body (according to ancient Chinese medicines). Psych-K is a safe non-invasive and effective way to change outdated perceptions and beliefs at the subconscious level of the mind. When you change your beliefs you change your life!
I became interested in EFT after viewing a remarkable DVD on a session with an MS patient. This technique has been proven effective in reducing or eliminating emotional, mental and even physical discomfort. It is a powerful tool for working with phobias, addictions and trauma.
COACHING

I'd like to clarify that all of my work, both therapy and coaching, is also "spiritual" work. I call what I do "Meaning in Life Coaching".
I am an international guest speaker and have given several talks in different countries like Mexico, the US, Israel and recently in Thailand.
I also lead groups and workshops with various themes.
Finally, on a lighter note, it may be relevant for you to know how I came to be in Jerusalem. The truth is that I met my husband on the internet and followed my heart to Israel. It was not an easy journey/process, but through it I discovered the amazing healing power of creativity when I began writing a memoir, in Spanish, about my experiences. I was later published in Mexico where it was well received, "Amor@Desierto.com".
Love@Desert.com tells the story of my new life, married to a religious man with four boys, and living in the settlements of the Judean desert. The book explores various facets of my new and unusual life in a foreign culture, as well as the challenges of becoming a step parent.
