Yochanan Eskenazi

I earned my Master of Social Work from the Wurzweiler School of Social Work and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Alongside private practice, I have worked as a school social worker, helping children, adolescents, and families navigate emotional, behavioral, and academic challenges.

My clinical focus includes OCD, anxiety disorders, and related concerns. I work with children, teens, and adults experiencing intrusive thoughts, compulsions, excessive worry, panic, perfectionism, depression, and stress. I use evidence-based approaches and remain committed to ongoing clinical training and development.

I welcome clients from all backgrounds and have significant experience working with individuals from the Orthodox Jewish community, incorporating cultural and religious considerations when desired.

My approach is collaborative, structured, and compassionate. Therapy should help you feel understood while also providing practical strategies to address the patterns that keep you stuck.

I use evidence-based treatments, including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and SPACE-informed strategies when appropriate. We work together to help you respond differently to anxious thoughts, reduce avoidance, and take steps toward what matters to you. Treatment is tailored to your needs, goals, and circumstances.

Our first session is an opportunity to understand what brought you to therapy, discuss your history and current concerns, and identify what you hope to change.

You will have time to ask questions and share your goals. Together, we will begin developing a treatment plan tailored to your needs. My goal is for you to leave with a clearer understanding of how we might work together and what the next steps could look like.
