Child psychology/ therapy in Israel

I just came back from a child neurologist and he feels that my 8-year-old son may have some emotional issues that he needs help with. He suggested that I go with him to either an art therapist or a child psychologist. He said that I can try any other therapy that would help. I do not know where to start, anyone know of a child psychologist or art therapist that is good. Do you have any other ideas of good therapy to help him.
(In short he has extreme reactions to things. He gets either very excited or real angry at the slightest provocation/ He also has tension headaches)
Thanks

Any help would be greatly appreciated. The dr. suggested art therapy. Anyone have any experience with it?

There's an art therapist in my son's gan. I don't know what she does, but she comes with the whole gan package so we're good. A bit over a year ago, when we were faced with the choice of getting an art therapist or a child psychologist to give therapy (we could not do both), we opted for the child psychologist and I think that was a good decision for our kid. So, do your homework before choosing which is best for your son. Good luck!
