Kiryat Adam was established in 2016 in the city of Lod, out of a deep commitment to the city’s unique, complex reality and its residents. The center was founded by Anatta Foundation (NGO) in partnership with the Lod Municipality, the Lod Development Foundation (NGO), and the Israeli Association for Self Psychology and the Study of Subjectivity (NGO), Anatta also funds the foundation.

Kiryat Adam is a center for learning, assessment, and treatment dedicated to human beings: the individual in relation to their inner world, their loved ones and their local community. Rooted in Lod, the center was created to provide attentive, meaningful support to the city’s residents and the wider region. In addition, it serves as a leading professional hub in the psychological field—for individuals, the community, education and welfare systems, nonprofit organizations, and all those working to support human well-being, including children, youth, and adults.

Lod is a multicultural city that reflects the full spectrum of Israeli society—Arab and Jewish residents, religious and secular communities of all faiths, ethnicities, and backgrounds living side by side. But alongside this socio-cultural richness, the city also faces social divides, complexity, and significant challenges.

For the past decade, Kiryat Adam has served as a professional and community anchor in the heart of Lod and its surrounding area, providing a broad clinical framework for the city's children and their families, while also serving as a nurturing professional home for local therapists.
