Training in Addiction and/or Lust Addiction

Approximately 1 year intensive study and supervision with a Board Certified Psychiatrist specializing in sexual addiction.

Clinical Experience with Orthodox Community

I’ve been working exclusively with the Orthodox community for the past 20 years.

Certifications & Degrees

  • MD (Board Certified M.D. Psychiatrist)
  • LCSW (licensed in New York and Israel)
  • Association with organizations

  • I used to be a member of Nefesh but I haven't had time to keep up with it.
  • Intervention Model

    I have seen the best results from a disease-model similar to Alcoholics Anonymous. Ideally all addicts should attend SA. Therapy is sometimes necessary too, usually more in the beginning stages of recovery. I use 12 steps, Hypnotherapy and Chasidic Thought in my therapy work with clients.
