About This Project

Edo Maimon

Somatic Psychotherapist · PTSD-focused Clinician & Researcher · MSW Candidate

This research portal is curated by Edo Maimon, an integrative somatic psychotherapist and clinician-researcher bridging biology and clinical trauma recovery. Edo holds an M.Sc. in Biotechnology and is completing an MSW with a trauma specialization at the University of Haifa, where he researches PTSD interventions and physiological markers of resilience.

His clinical work at Rambam Hospital's Veterans Psychiatric Outpatient Clinic, over a decade of therapeutic practice with individuals and groups, and a personal journey of resilience as a cancer survivor inform his commitment to interdisciplinary, evidence-based innovation in trauma care. His current focus lies at the intersection of PTSD, somatic interventions, and entheogens.
