Master's Degrees in Therapy and Counselling
Hello Alec,
To my knowledge, there are currently no M.S.W master’s programs in social work conducted in English available in Israel; all programs are conducted in Hebrew.
If you are interested in other academic graduate programs in the fields of therapy and counselling which can be studied in English, there are tracks such as M.A in art therapy (available at Ono Academic College), or M.A in early childhood development and education (available at The University of Haifa). Do any of these programs sound interesting to you? I have attached a link at the bottom of my answer to an article with more information regarding master’s degrees in English available in Israel.

Thank you, I'll look into these options! Alternatively, are there ulpan programs that are designed to get students to a level where they can get a degree in Hebrew? And do you know if professors are accomodating typically and help students whose hebrew is not great?

Hebrew Ulpan and Preparatory Programs
Hello Alec,
There is a wide variety of Ulpan programs in Israel, many are especially designed to prepare Olim students towards studying in Hebrew at academic programs, in intensive tracks and at a relatively short period of time. You may choose between various Ulpan levels (according to your current command of Hebrew) in public Ulpanim (provided by the Ministry of Aliyah) and private Ulpanim.
In addition, Olim who comply with the Student Authority criteria can study in the TAKA preparatory program, which is an intensive track which prepares for academic studies in Hebrew and include advanced Hebrew courses. The TAKA program is aimed at Olim between the ages of 18-30 (for candidates for graduate degrees) with a Hebrew level of Beit (B), withing 36 months of making Aliyah.
I have attached a link below to an article with further information on Hebrew courses in Israel.
