Karni Kissil

Families navigating conflict, individuals carrying the weight of trauma, and couples facing the fractures that life can bring — these are the people Karni Kissil has spent her career walking alongside. An LMFT based in Jupiter, Florida, she works with teenagers and adults, men and women, across a wide range of concerns: abuse recovery, mood disorders, divorce, coparenting, family-of-origin wounds, and the particular challenges that arise within Jewish family and spiritual life.

Kissil’s academic path crossed two continents. She earned degrees in behavioral sciences and clinical psychology from Israeli universities before completing graduate training in couples and family therapy in the United States, culminating in a doctorate from Drexel University. That dual grounding — in individual clinical psychology and in systemic family therapy — shapes how she works. Rather than applying a single fixed model, she draws on a broad range of therapeutic approaches to build treatment that fits each person’s actual situation.

With more than fifteen years of practice in both Israel and the U.S., and direct clinical experience with adolescents in residential treatment and with survivors of sexual abuse, she brings serious depth to her private practice. Online sessions are available.
