Yeshaya Kraus's style

Why Yeshaya Kraus chose to be in the helping profession

I've always been a listener. Even when I was young, I was the person whose friends would come to with their challenges. I'd put in my two cents, and they'd leave feeling better about themselves. When it came time to enter the workforce, I knew that I could make a real impact on people's lives with the right training. I got that training, and here I am.

Yeshaya Kraus's approach

I use a number of modalities when working with clients, including IFS, CBT, and EFT. My job is to help my clients see themselves as more than just the sum of their challenges, and as more than just "People with problems". People are storehouses of tremendous emotional strength and power. I help my clients get to know the that side of themselves in order to tap into that strength and resilience. That's where the capacity for change comes from, whether it's an individual looking to overcome an emotional challenge, a couple trying desperately to change the way the interact, or parents looking to learn and implement new methods of parenting.

What you can expect from sessions with Yeshaya Kraus

Whether we're meeting online or in person, my sessions run for between 45 and 50 minutes. During that time, we'll talk about your experiences, whether it's something we've left off from the previous session, or something new that's come up. By the end of each session, we hope to achieve a higher degree of clarity on how you react to whatever it is that's happening in your life, and a clearer idea of how to approach it in a way that works for you.

Although therapy, by necessity, means bringing up and exploring uncomfortable feelings and situations, I strive to make our sessions a safe place to feel uncomfortable, and to meet those feelings and get to know them.

Yeshaya Kraus's experience working with the Jewish community

On a personal level, I've lived my entire life in the frum community, and know it well. I'm familiar with both the pitfalls and supports it can offer. Professionally, the bulk of my career has been spent working in the community, as a school-based social worker, clinician and supervisor in outpatient mental health settings, and as a private practitioner.
