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 have been trained in expressive arts therapy and is a certified gestalt therapist. I utilizes the arts according to each person’s abilities to imagine and develop body awareness. My eclectic approach suits people who seek to find themselves in mental health. As a blind Japanese immigrant, I work especially well with differently-abled people and Pan Asians.
I believe the potential for healing is inherently human - and incredibly accessible. My goal is to partner with you in looking at your Life-Story and to identify and evolve past wounds or challenges holding you back from a peaceful way of being. I've been practicing for over 20 years and specialize in anxiety, depression and trauma.
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 work with people who are stuck at certain crossroads in their life. Typically, the external problems seem to solve themselves once therapy reaches a certain point. This applies to work, relationships, life goals, and creative pursuits. My job is to help you transform mental or physical pain into something that is bearable and makes life worth living.
I work with a wide range of clients.
I welcome any questions you have. Feel free to give me a call or email with any questions you have about starting therapy.
I have over 10 years of experience working with individuals who are struggling to find their way in a complicated world. My practice offers a space for anyone who is looking for a sense of shelter and refuge where they can breathe, process their thoughts and feelings and find meaning in their life. I believe that everyone has the capacity to change and develop internal strength and resilience. It is my goal to empower those who are seeking new ways of looking at themselves and their relationships. Talk therapy has the ability to soothe our hearts and minds. More than ever, we need to find ways to reprogram our fear-driven minds.
I am a psychiatrist and psychotherapist with a professional background focusing on mood disorders, anxiety, and challenges in relationships. I attach importance to the ways issues of culture, race, trauma, family dynamics, and migration influence how we carry ourselves in the world and approach our experiences.
I am a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in individual and couples therapy. I have over twenty years of experience working with a wide variety of clinical problems. I am most interested in working with individuals who are curious about themselves and who believe that they may find some relief from their struggles by examining their thoughts and feelings in the context of their relational history.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Port Washington
Searching for therapists in Port Washington starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. Therapists may work with concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for specialties and approaches that fit your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or family therapy. A therapist’s bio can also help you understand their style, focus areas, and what sessions may be like.
Port Washington has a smaller local therapy market than nearby New York City, so virtual appointments can give you more options while still keeping care connected to New York-licensed therapists. Some people prefer an office close to home, while others look for virtual sessions that fit around work, school, caregiving, or commuting. To narrow your search, check whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that work for you, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, session structure, and areas of experience.
Therapy in Port Washington can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and Headway helps you see your estimated cost before you book. You can search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review bios, compare virtual and in-person availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
