Yisroel’s clinical social work experience includes working with children, teens, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, trauma, and complicated grief.

Prior to social work practice, Yisroel helped run a pediatric speech, occupational, and physical therapy clinic and taught elementary, middle, and post-high school students, opportunities that provided valuable insight into diverse areas of childhood and adolescent development. Yisroel speaks English (native) and Hebrew (conversational) and has been writing and presenting on topics of emotional wellbeing through an Orthodox Jewish lens since 2017.
