Seeking support takes courage, and you don't have to navigate life's challenges on your own. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York, I strive to create a warm, supportive environment where you feel comfortable showing up exactly as you are. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, and other emotional stressors.
My clinical experience spans a variety of mental health settings, where I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, and families facing diverse emotional and behavioral challenges. Throughout my training, I gained experience conducting comprehensive assessments, developing individualized treatment plans, providing individual, family, and group counseling, and collaborating with multidisciplinary treatment teams. I have supported individuals living with serious and persistent mental illness, trauma, co-occurring mental health concerns, and behavioral disorders, while also working closely with children and families using evidence-based approaches such as Solution-Focused Therapy, behavioral interventions, play-based techniques, and family-centered care.
Hi, I’m Yitzchok Wagshul. One day, my young grandson asked me what kind of doctor I am. I’m a clinical psychologist, so I replied, “I’m the kind of doctor who helps sad people feel happy.” He looked at me and said, “Zaidy,” (that’s “Grandpa” in Yiddish) "that’s not being a doctor, that’s just being nice!” That’s a cute story, but I want to tell you something: the better part of therapy is “being nice.” I know a lot of psychology. But if I didn’t respect each person I work with, if I didn’t view them with complete acceptance and unconditional positive regard, all of that would be worthless, because no one would listen to me.
I want you to know that when you come into therapy with me, you don’t have to pretend, minimize, or hold everything together. You get to show up exactly as you are — overwhelmed, hopeful, exhausted, confused, motivated, or anything in between. We take it from there together.
My favorite part of this work has always been sitting with people one‐on‐one. That’s where real connection and real healing happen. I genuinely enjoy getting to know who you are, what you’ve been carrying, and what you’re hoping might feel different.
My style is warm, steady, and honest. I listen closely, ask thoughtful questions, and help you understand the experiences and patterns that are shaping your life. I’m also practical — I like to offer tools and strategies you can actually use in your day‐to‐day life, not just in the therapy room.
I work with people dealing with anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, major transitions, and substance use concerns. But most importantly, I work with people who feel stuck or weighed down and aren’t sure how to move forward. Everyone deserves a space where they can breathe and be supported.
Something I tell clients often is this: I don’t want you to just feel better — I want you to be well. Feeling better can be temporary. Being well means building insight, healing, and lasting change.
My goal is simple: to help you feel safe, understood, and supported as you find your footing and move toward what’s healthier and more meaningful for you.
