Meet Yechiel Aharonof

I'm Yechiel Aharonof, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 12 years of experience working with young adults and men. My work focuses primarily on unwanted sexual behaviors, pornography and sex addiction, and trauma. I help clients better understand what's driving their struggles, work through underlying emotional issues, and develop practical ways to make meaningful changes in their lives. I also provide training and presentations for therapists, Rabbanim, Chosson Rabbeim, and educators on understanding and addressing these challenges. One of the things I've come to recognize through my clinical work is that the behaviors and emotional struggles we see on the surface often have deeper underlying causes. Rather than focusing only on stopping a behavior or managing a symptom, I work with clients to understand what's driving these struggles in the first place.

The easiest way to get a sense of me is a short conversation. The free 15-minute consultation exists for exactly that — no forms full of personal details, no commitment.

Education and fuller biography — to be added in Yechiel's own words.
