I’m Yael, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) dedicated to helping children, teens, and adults navigate life’s challenges with compassion, care, and evidence-based therapy. My passion is supporting individuals through trauma, OCD, anxiety, and the unique emotional journey of pregnancy and postpartum.


My Approach to Therapy

I believe healing begins with compassion, connection, and collaboration. Every person’s story is unique, which is why I tailor treatment to your needs and goals. My work is rooted in evidence-based approaches, including:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
  • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
  • Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT)
  • Exposure and Response Prevention (EX/RP)
  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
  • Perinatal Mental Health (PMH-C in progress)

Experience and Training

With over seven years of experience in both medical and psychiatric settings, I’ve supported clients across Connecticut, New Jersey, and New York through telehealth and clinical care. I am licensed in all three states, ensuring clients can access therapy from wherever they are.

My Healing Philosophy

Therapy is not about quick fixes — it’s about creating space to heal, process, and discover resilience. I believe in walking alongside my clients, honoring their pace, and helping them transform pain into strength. My practice is culturally responsive, neurodivergent-affirming, and deeply trauma-informed.

Ready to Begin?

Taking the first step can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. If you’re ready to begin your therapy journey, I would be honored to support you.
