“Shaya is a great psychologist, and I highly recommend him to anyone who genuinely wants to get better. After working with him for about four months I’ve seen more significant improvement with him, than I did in an entire year with another psychologist. This isn’t just talk therapy, Shaya uses practical somatic tools that actually help you work through your issues. If you’ve been struggling without making progress, if you want more than just talk therapy, or if you feel like every psychologist you’ve seen doesn’t really understand you; I strongly urge you to try a session with Shaya. You will see results! ”

Even when the process is challenging, he creates a space where you feel comfortable, supported, and genuinely understood. He truly has a gift, and I would highly recommend him.”

Getting to know Avrohom Schtroks
Have you ever looked at your life and thought, "This isn't how I pictured it"? I'm Avrohom (AKA Shaya), and I love helping people who are ready to roll up their sleeves and dig into what's really holding them back. Whether it's past trauma, phobias, unhealthy relationship dynamics, or habits like phone/media overuse, substance abuse, or pornography-can feel like quicksand. Together, we'll tackle your specific challenges, whether that's depression that won't lift, anxiety that keeps you up at night, or trauma that still affects your daily choices. I've watched countless people transform these struggles into stepping stones toward a more purposeful life.
Think of me as your co-navigator in this journey-I bring the roadmap of clinical expertise, but you're the one who knows your terrain best. I won't just nod and ask "how does that make you feel?"

Whether you want to stop being in survival mode, kick a habit that's overstayed its welcome, or find your footing after life has pulled the rug out from under you, we'll develop practical strategies that actually fit into your real life.
Here's the thing about making changes-the perfect time doesn't exist, but the right time is when you decide enough is enough. If you're still reading this, part of you is ready for something different. Schedule an appointment, and let's have an honest conversation about what's going on in your life and how we might tackle it together.

Before working with Shaya I had been to multiple therapists and none helped really dig deep into the root cause of my anxiety. He helped me see things differently allowing me to “go with that” and find out so much more about myself than I thought possible.Thanks so much Shaya!

even though our time was short, Shaya really helped me learn about myself, my past and present. Shaya also made it very easy to talk and I was very nervous to speak in the beginning. i would talk to Shaya every day if I could!

He is really great. I’ve done three sessions and already see a change and progress. It’s not just talk therapy, we are finding true solutions to fix core issues. I can’t recommend him enough and look forward to our sessions every week! He’s truly helping me with coping skills, finding happiness and wanting to be a better person. I’ve seen so many therapists that never seemed to have helped and he’s truly made an impact already. Schedule a session, you won’t regret it!

I was extremely hesitant about starting therapy and even canceled my first appointment. But Shaya reached out and let me know he’d be available to talk beforehand if I needed. That small gesture made a big difference. He’s incredibly encouraging, understanding, and easy to talk to. Shaya has helped me grow in ways I never thought possible. I can’t recommend him enough!

I highly recommend Avrohom Schtroks. From the very first session, he made me feel comfortable, understood, and supported. He listens with real care and patience and guides the conversation in a way that helps you truly open up and process what you’re going through.

He is a great guy and listens to you for who you are. He has made me feel a different perspective on life that I didn’t know I had capable in myself.

I cannot speak highly enough of my experience with Shaya! He has been truly exceptional—always showing deep care, empathy, and incredible knowledge in various therapeutic methods. From our very first session, I knew this wouldn’t be like my past failed online therapy experiences, because I felt a genuine sense of care from him.
Shaya does an amazing job of creating a safe space where I can express myself freely and without judgment. I’ve experienced a tremendous amount of emotional growth during the time I’ve seen him. He is highly professional, always punctual, and takes therapy very seriously.
Shaya has helped me become more secure in myself, develop better relationships with my partner and family, and work through my anxious attachment. Through our work together, my life has shifted from feeling insecure and fearful to feeling more grounded, secure, and happy—one session at a time.
Highly recommend him!!!

It’s hard to put into words what Shaya has done for me.
For years I’ve been stuck—repeating old patterns, carrying shame, feeling disconnected from who I really am. I didn’t realize how much I needed healing until I sat across from someone who made it feel possible.
With Shaya, it’s not just therapy. It’s soul work.
It’s remembering the parts of me I forgot.
It’s breaking down walls I didn’t know I built.
It’s hearing, maybe for the first time, that I’m not broken—I’m becoming.
He tells me I’m the perfect candidate for healing. And somehow… I believe him.
I’ve longed for this kind of support for so long, and I finally found it.
Shaya is a gift. A guide. A mirror. A godsend.
I’m not who I was when I started.
And I know I’m not done growing yet. But I’m on my way.

I have had the most amazing experience with Shaya. He has been able to really help me transform my life and help me heal from past traumas. I ve been working through things for years with other therapist and no one has been more helpful or healing than Shaya.
Less than 1 year agoBK
Shaya Is an excellent therapist. He was prompt and responsive immediately after I booked my appointment. His approach is very helpful and effective, focusing not solely on the problem, but on the person you’re meant to become. He’s frank and honest with me. His guidance has instilled me with a more optimistic attitude and outlook on life. I’d highly recommend him if you’re looking for transformative changes in your life.

Shaya (Avrohom) is an incredible therapist. I have complex PTSD, and he has been an immense help in relieving my symptoms. After over 50 years of feeling constantly triggered and scared, I now experience feelings of safety and hope for the future. The work is challenging for me, but Shaya knows when I'm getting overwhelmed and eases up, giving me a much-needed break. I still have a lot more work to do, but I am so grateful we found each other. Do not hesitate to try his treatment.

Working with Shaya has been the most transformative experience of my healing journey. Unlike any other therapist I’ve worked with, he has an incredible ability to guide deep healing in a way that feels both profound and natural. His expertise in EMDR has helped me connect with my highest self, heal my inner child, and cultivate a deep sense of self-love.
Through our sessions, I’ve learned to live in a state of abundance, with the knowledge and understanding that I am innately good inside. Shaya has helped me see aspects of myself that I was never able to recognize before, and his ability to truly listen and hold space is unmatched.
If you’re on a path of growth and healing, I couldn’t recommend his work more highly. He has changed my life in ways I never thought possible, and I am beyond grateful for his guidance and support.

Avrohom's expertise with EMDR therapy has been life-changing for me. His gentle approach helped me work through trauma I'd been carrying for years. He carefully guided me through each EMDR session, making sure I felt safe and in control throughout the process. Thanks to his skill and support, I've finally found relief from symptoms that I thought would be with me forever. I'm deeply grateful for his help.

Shaya is an amazing therapist! No matter what I've told him or said to him, he has kept his patience. He treats me as a human, equal to everyone, and has no agendas, other than to help me heal and reach my utmost potential. Shaya has helped me heal through the most horrific times in my life and I now consider myself free and happy. I could not have done it without him .

Avrohom really helped me work through some tough family and relationship stuff. He's super easy to talk to and made me feel comfortable opening up about things like how much time I was spending on social media. With his help, I learned better ways to communicate and set boundaries. He's got a great way of really listening and helping you find solutions, not just giving advice. I'm in a much better place now thanks to Avrohom's

Working with Avrohom has been life-changing. When I first reached out about my struggles with technology overuse and isolation, his warm and understanding approach made me feel safe to open up. He helped me understand my patterns and develop healthier habits without any judgment. Thanks to his expert guidance, I've regained control and balance in my life.
More than 1 year agoBS
Working with Avrohom has been a real turning point for me. When I first started therapy, I was struggling with anxiety, depression, and an eating disorder that were really impacting my daily life. What made Avrohom different was how down-to-earth and genuine he is. He listens without judgment and has helped me work through my issues at my own pace. Over time, I have been learning better ways to manage my anxiety, I am developing a healthier relationship with food, and have started to feel more like myself again. What I appreciate most is how he makes therapy feel like a normal, honest conversation. I would definitely recommend giving Avrohom a try.

I remember how scared I was before my first session with Shaya, but he immediately put me at ease. My anxiety and eating struggles had taken over my life, but his caring and patient approach helped me open up. He taught me ways to quiet my anxious thoughts and make peace with food that actually work for me. I'm so grateful for how he's helped me find my way back to a healthier, calmer life.

I've had an incredible experience working with Shaya, who specializes in men's issues and habit change. His warm personality immediately put me at ease, and his approachable style made it easy to open up. Thanks to his expert guidance, I've made real progress in my personal growth journey. Couldn't ask for a better therapist!

I cannot say enough good things about Shaya. From our first session, he made me feel completely at ease discussing things I'd never talked about with anyone before. His warm and genuine approach helped me open up about my struggles with internet addiction without feeling judged or ashamed. Thanks to his support and guidance, I'm finally making real progress and feeling more in control of my life. If you're a guy struggling with similar issues and feeling nervous about therapy, trust me - Shaya is the person to see.
