Jewish Therapists in New York, NY
Has communication in your relationship become complicated? Many of the couples I work with find themselves having the same fight on repeat with no resolution. Others struggle with silence, unsure how to have conversations that might be important but are uncomfortable. Both roads can lead to loneliness and resentment.

As someone of Latinx, Middle Eastern, and Jewish descent, my multicultural upbringing, experiences with immigration, and growing up low-income deeply shape the way I practice therapy.
I offer trauma-informed, identity-affirming therapy grounded in a social justice lens. I support folks navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, relationships, substance use, and life transitions, as well as experiences of migration, oppression, gender, and sexuality exploration.

To our Dear Future Client, If you're reading this, chances are you may have noticed that something does not feel right in your relationship. Perhaps you have known this for quite some time or maybe you have only now come to realize an important truth - that this is not how you want to feel, not where you want to be, & it's time for change. Change can be really scary and overwhelming, maybe even foreign. Of course, evolution doesn't happen overnight, so naturally you may ask how & when does it happen? Good questions!

Clients often come feeling stuck, anxious, or uncertain during life transitions, relationship challenges, or periods of stress, low self-esteem, or self-doubt. I provide a safe, compassionate space where they can be heard, understood, and supported without judgment. Many hope to find balance across different areas of life—work, family, relationships, and personal growth—and to clarify what truly matters to them. They want to feel more grounded, resilient, and empowered to navigate change, set priorities that honor their values, and move toward a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling.

You're managing a lot — expectations, relationships, the quiet pressure to have it all together. And somewhere in the middle of all of it, you've lost touch with yourself. Not dramatically. Just gradually, until one day you realize you can't quite remember what actually feels like you. I work with people who are ready to stop just getting through the day and start reconnecting with what genuinely matters. My space is thoughtful, judgment-free, and built around your specific story — not a template.

I believe it's crucial to help those with a quietly turbulent inner life understand that "still waters run deep”. In my work, I guide sensitive individuals, helping you recognize that the calm you project often masks a profound inner world—a reservoir of strength waiting to be harnessed.

I'm a queer, Jewish therapist who has experience working with queer Jewish community ranging from those who identify as secular to Orthodox.
You're the one people rely on. The thoughtful one, the one who holds things together. Internally, it feels different. Your mind doesn't slow down. You overthink, doubt yourself, and feel pressure to get everything right. You may be navigating burnout, relationship stress, or questions of identity and belonging.
Many of my clients are queer and/or neurodivergent adults who appear capable on the outside but internally struggle with perfectionism, people-pleasing, and self-doubt in relationships or work. I work best with clients who want to understand why these patterns repeat and begin shifting them in a sustainable way.

You’re successful, driven, and capable — but the anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or relationship tension behind the scenes tell a different story. I work with high achievers and stressed out New Yorkers who feel pressure to excel, hold it together, and never show the cracks… even when they’re exhausted.

When it comes to dating and relationships, strong feelings don’t always predict long-term compatibility. You may feel strong chemistry that doesn’t translate into stability, or lose interest in someone who seems objectively right. Others feel confused about desire, attachment patterns, identity questions, or recurring emotional dynamics.
Many people are surprised to discover that attraction, fantasy, and compatibility do not always develop together. I work with adults navigating dating uncertainty and relationship decision-making. Many clients feel relief discovering that there is a coherent framework for understanding experience

As an OCD specialist and queer identifying therapist, my number one priority is creating a comfortable, person-centered, and safely challenging environment. I work especially well with the queer and trans community, high achievers, intellectualizers, and performing artists. I encourage clients to move at their own pace, while trusting that they will be met with understanding, support, and respect. I understand that therapy can be vulnerable and challenging, but the growth that follows can be well worth it.

You have a way of being in the world: How you relate to yourself, to others, to love and work. You got this way through all your experiences from childhood onward, and how you adjusted to these experiences. Sometimes you think that this 'way of being' isn't working as well as you'd like. But making a change in the way you are as a person can be much harder than you'd thought. And you find that the old patterns are hard to change, because (for the most part) they've worked well enough. I can help you identify what's working, what's not, and what might be causing resistance to positive change.

I work with clients (individuals and couples) seeking therapeutic support regarding relationship goals, and have specific training in intimacy challenges and how previous experiences affect our current relationships. I bring a sensitive therapeutic approach and utilize various methods to provide my clients with strategies and tools for understanding themselves. I create a safe and supportive space for non-judgmental and reflective growth. I feel that successful therapy involves identifying and bridging gaps between where we are and where we want to be.

You know how people will casually ask how you’re doing, and you respond automatically, “I’m fine,” even when privately you feel overwhelmed, stuck, or struggling. You might be navigating anxiety, relationship strain, life transitions, or a sense that something isn’t quite working anymore, even if you can’t fully name it.

Jewish Therapists
Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
Therapists and clients don’t need to share the same background to be able to work together, but a therapist whose training includes a focus on cultural competence may be better able to form a therapeutic bond with individuals from a range of backgrounds, as they will have experience tailoring their approach to each client—and will be prepared to acknowledge and consider the effects of cultural forces, such as discrimination, that may contribute to that client’s concerns. With a professional who has such training, a client should feel comfortable discussing sensitive issues without feeling that they need to self-censor.
How can I recognize an effective Jewish therapist?
As with members of any religious or ethnic group, just because two people happen to be Jewish does not guarantee that they will share the same values, knowledge, or experiences. A Jewish client seeking a therapist who shares their cultural identity, or for whom it’s important that a therapist share their religious beliefs, may want to discuss a professional’s Jewish background with them before beginning therapy. For someone who seeks justification for major life changes in their religious tradition, or in biblical writings, finding a therapist who is comfortable framing guidance in that context may be especially valuable.
Would a Jewish therapist have unique training?
No, but they should have the same training and certification as any other mental health professional, as well as experience with a range of evidence-based techniques such as cognitive-behavioral therapy or mindfulness-based therapy. A therapist with this type of experience should be able to help any client feel comfortable and safe, which is essential for a therapeutic alliance. Once this is established, a potential client may want to find out more about the therapist’s Jewish background.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience with Jewish clients?
A client can directly ask a therapist if they have extensive experience working with Jewish clients and if so, whether these individuals sought counseling for faith-related issues or marital or familial issues in which their Jewish background was a factor. A client may also wish to ask a potential therapist whether they incorporate Jewish teachings and values into their own professional work.
Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Jewish therapists?
The directory of Jewish therapists includes professionals who have opted to share their cultural background on their profiles. However, not all therapists choose to disclose their background, and they may not appear in search results for this reason.The directory also shows therapists who indicate that they have extensive experience working with Jewish clients and/or communities.
