Professional Career

BRILLIA’s founder, Yael Lorberfeld, began her career as a clinical psychologist and earned a postgraduate degree in Clinical Psychology from the Illinois School of Professional Psychology.

Objective and Mission

Interest in brain health has been strengthened by advances in the field of neuroplasticity, which demonstrate the brain’s remarkable ability to adapt, learn, and transform throughout life. This understanding has inspired a clear mission: to contribute to brain health education as an effective means to enhance quality of life, promote personal growth, and extend both longevity and mental well-being.
