“I have attended several of Yshai’s workshops, and really appreciate both the information and his presentation style. For families experiencing the struggles of parenting teens, he offers helpful, up-to-date strategies as well as a compassionate view of the challenges and opportunities these years can present.”

Mariah Lebwohl, L.C.S.W.

I graduated with my Master’s in Social Work for Portland State University in 2005. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker through the Oregon Board of Licensed Clinical Social Workers. I specialize in working with children, adolescents and families. I’ve been working with this population since 2001. I hold a Post Graduate Certificate in Work With Adoptive Families. One of my passions and areas of expertise lies in working with adoptive families. In addition to having a permanent foster child ourselves, I have a sibling that was adopted. As a result, I hold a very special place in my heart for this incredibly important, complicated and challenging decision and process.

I was born and raised in Portland. I went to Lincoln High School and graduated from Whitman College with a degree in Psychology. I enjoy my time with my family and friends, cooking and trying new recipes, going for long walks and reading good books.

WHAT WE HELP WITH

We offer a variety of different types of counseling depending on your needs and the needs of your family.

Individual Counseling

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression or stress? Are you coping with a major loss or trauma? Are you feeling stuck in your life? If any of the above are true, then individual counseling can help.

EMDR for Trauma

Are there specific traumatic or challenging experiences from your past that are still keeping you from being present? EMDR can help you unlock and reprocess those experiences from the past.

Teen Counseling

I’m at my wit’s end with my teen! I don’t know how much longer I can take all this disrespect. We really need some better tools. Do any of these thoughts ring true for you? If so, we can help.
