Training in Addiction and/or Lust Addiction
I have advanced training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy and ARISE Intervention Models. I have been training families in interventions, doing 12 Step work and working with addictions for over 15 years, both in private treatment centers, hospitals and outpatient practice. I specialize in treating patients with addictive and self-harming behaviors including but not limited to chemical dependency and behavioral addictions.
Clinical Experience with Orthodox Community
I was formerly the Director of Specialized Treatment Programs at Ohel Children's Home and Family Services from 1999-2004. I have maintained a private practice in Flabush Brooklyn and Manhattan New York, treating primarily the frum community and Orthodox patients since 1999.

Intervention Model
In treating patients with any addictive disorder, I find it helpful to look beyond the substance or behavior they are engaged in and to focus on the core issues that are underlying it. After abstinence is achieved, the deeper work of understanding why the behavior began and what feelings it is masking begins, along with relapse prevention and continued care.
