Let's heal your relationships —
with yourself,
your body, and the people you love.
Mayan Derhy, M.S. MFT
Your reactions make sense — they reflect what you've carried, and how you learned to survive. Not who you are.
Nothing about you is random or broken. Your mind and body learned how to survive. Together, we'll understand the patterns that once kept you safe — and gently update them, so they no longer have to run your life.

Therapy with me focuses on…
Your Sense of Self
Somewhere along the way, most of us built a version of ourselves that was designed to be accepted, not to be authentic. We learned which parts were safe to show, and quietly buried the rest. This work is about closing the gap between the self you've been performing and the one you actually are. Not fixing what's broken, but reviving what's been hidden.
Your Emotions
Most of us learned to manage our emotions rather than meet them. We became fluent in "fine" and strangers to everything beneath it. This work is about expanding your emotional range – building the language, the safety, and the capacity to feel the full spectrum of your experiences. The difficult and the beautiful. The grief and the joy. When you can hold both, life opens up.
Your Sexuality
Your sexuality was shaped long before you had a say in it — by the culture you grew up in, the relationships that formed you, and the messages you absorbed about what was allowed, desirable, or shameful. For some of us, that meant shutting down. For others, it meant seeking out intensity, disconnection, or patterns that feel hard to name.
Whatever your experience is, this work isn't about fixing something broken. It's about understanding how your relationship with sexuality was formed — and finding your way back to something that feels genuinely, honestly yours.
Your Relationship
Relationships don't usually fall apart all at once. They quietly drift through misunderstandings that never quite got resolved, needs that never quite got heard, and distance that slowly starts to feel normal. And often, the patterns playing out between you and your partner today were shaped long before you ever met each other.
This work is about understanding both. What's happening between you now, and what each of you brings into the room. When you can see that clearly, you stop feeling like opponents and start feeling like what you actually are: two people who want the same thing, trying to find their way back to each other.
I'm Mayan. A therapist, and a deeply curious person.
I'm a Relationship & Sex Therapist based in Tel Aviv. I've dedicated my work to understanding what makes people feel stuck — in relationships, in their sexuality, and in themselves.
Growing up between two cultures and two languages taught me early that people make sense in context. That the way someone loves, fights, or shuts down is never random — it reflects where they came from and what they had to learn to survive.
That understanding is at the heart of how I work. Not to fix you, but to make sense of you together, so that you can feel like yourself again. Not a better version, just a freer one.
