Rabbi Ely (Eliahu) Braun, MSc., C.Med., RP
About Me
I have been told, that I am a Rabbi with whom people can talk to without being judged. I work with adult individuals and couples that may have lost their way. Using eclectic therapeutic modalities and techniques, I draw upon my own experiences as a Congregational Rabbi, Registered Psychotherapist, Clinical Chaplain, Mediator, Conflict Coach, child of Holocaust survivors, academic, husband, father, and grandfather. Like most people, I wear many hats. I help clients to integrate various aspects of their lives in a society where success does not necessarily lead to happiness, or a sense of meaning. The Gishur Center works at bridging communities, families, and individuals, striving towards wholeness of body, mind, and spirit. For the past dacade, I have sub-specialized as Online therapist using the latest Zoom technologies.
