Getting to know Yael Zeffren

I specialize in providing compassionate support to individuals facing a range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem issues, life transitions, and relationship difficulties. I hold a Master's in Social Work from Touro University, Graduate School of Social Work (GSSW) - Manhattan Campus. My approach is rooted in meeting clients where they are, fostering a safe environment, and empowering them to navigate toward their desired outcomes. Recognizing the distinctiveness of each person's journey, I prioritize individualized care and firmly believe that each client possesses inherent expertise in their own life.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Guided by core values of empathy, acceptance, and empowerment, I employ a person-centered, strengths-based and trauma-informed framework, tailored to the unique circumstances of each individual. Utilizing modalities such as CBT, TF-CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Psychodynamic Therapy, I integrate mindfulness techniques to promote holistic healing. My practice welcomes adolescents, young adults, and adults. Let us collaborate to uncover the answers within you and embark on a journey of growth and healing.
