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 am a clinical psychotherapist with almost a decade of experience working with couples and adults who want to better understand themselves, and work towards creating the lives and relationships they crave. I am passionate about helping people reconnect to themselves, their hopes, and their autonomy. I specialize in relational/marital challenges, anxiety, grief, addiction, eating disorders, and trauma.
When we feel othered, alone, or hopeless — it's hard to ask for help. Talking to a therapist can help you feel like yourself again. I help my clients discover the root of their concerns through storytelling, reflecting on their values and desires, and understanding in what ways they’ve adapted to being in the world.
I utilize a multi-theoretical basis for all my clients. For my practice, trust, warmth and communication are the foundations of a good therapeutic relationship. I have a specialty in child/adolescent/family issues. However, I see many young adults who have issues feeling at ease and confident in their relationships and workplace. I endeavor to lift my clients out of the dark place that may be weighing them down to finding the solutions that will enable them to live freely.
Hi there and welcome!
My priority is supporting clients on their journeys towards personal healing & growth.
In 2010, I received my MSW/LMSW. While doing outpatient clinical work at the NYC non-profit agency JBFCS, I became an LCSW. In 2016, I began to establish my private psychotherapy practice, focusing on young and professional adults presenting with a broad variety of life challenges.
I've worked successfully with race-and class-diverse, LGBT and straight clients from teens to seniors. Many are new to NYC or in other life transitions. Clients come with anxiety, identity issues, relationship or work problems, trouble managing anger...My style is warm yet analytical, and interactive. I encourage laughter! I find that people want to understand themselves, break free from self-damaging patterns, and live more fully--and joyfully.
Hello, I’m Vincent. I am a Licensed Psychoanalyst/Psychotherapist (LP) with a private practice in Manhattan, offering both in-person and telehealth sessions. I bring my own lived experiences and cultural attunement into the room to build a deeply trusting and authentic therapeutic alliance with my clients.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Forest Hills, NY
Searching for therapists in Forest Hills starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, or major life changes. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match what you want to focus on. A therapist’s bio can also show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, psychodynamic therapy, or trauma-informed care.
Forest Hills has local therapy options, but the right fit may depend on schedule, office location, and appointment format. If nearby offices around Forest Hills, Kew Gardens, or Forest Hills Gardens have limited availability, virtual sessions can expand your options across New York. As you narrow your search, check whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that work for your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style and what sessions may look like.
Therapy in Forest Hills can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway helps you search for licensed therapists who match your preferences and are available for in-person or virtual care. Nationally, Headway partners with 70+ insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to confirm coverage for care in Forest Hills. You can review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
