Planetherapy, founded by Tal Nir and Ilana O’Malley, is a global network of over 300 volunteer therapists from 35 countries, offering emotional support in 22 languages. Since the war began, they’ve provided over 4,000 free sessions to Israelis and Jews worldwide.
As the fighting quiets, Planetherapy highlights the emotional “second wave” — the hidden trauma that surfaces after the crisis. To meet this need, they brought an international delegation to Israel, offering powerful in-person support to first responders and affected communities — including clinical psychologist Igor Teplitchi (France), Dr. Shari Geller (Canada), and therapist Jill Dykstra (USA).
Their mission: make emotional care accessible, human, and stigma-free — because healing starts with connection.
