Guidance, Support, and Lasting Change

For those experiencing emotional distress, speaking with a licensed therapist can be life-changing. Our professional team offers a variety of evidence-based therapies designed to help individuals cope with daily struggles, address deep-rooted challenges, and build resilience for the future.

How Counseling Can Help

According to the American Psychiatric Association, therapy has a profound impact on emotional and psychological well-being—benefiting both the mind and the body.
Through Ohel’s personalized counseling services, our clients gain the ability to:

• Overcome depression and anxiety
• Process and heal from trauma
• Improve relationships and resolve conflicts
• Develop healthier behaviors and coping strategies
• Manage stress and crises effectively
• Build resilience for future challenges

“People may hesitate to start therapy if they’re unfamiliar with it,” says Shalom Augenbaum, PhD, LCSW, CASAC, Clinical Director of Ohel’s Tikvah Clinic. “Good therapy transforms fear into insight and hesitation into growth. A judgment-free space empowers individuals to express themselves openly and comfortably.”

Flexible Counseling Options: In-Person & Virtual

Ohel offers accessible, high-quality counseling at our Outpatient Counseling Centers in Brooklyn and Far Rockaway, Queens. For added convenience, individuals can also receive telehealth counseling. Our Mobile Outreach team brings care directly to individuals suffering through a mental health crisis, offering short-term counseling and linkage to other services as needed.

If you need a Psychiatric Evaluation

At times our therapists might recommend a psychiatric evaluation. In those cases, our dedicated psychiatrists take the time to listen attentively to each person, asking thoughtful questions to gain a deep understanding of their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. This collaborative process helps us determine an accurate diagnosis and develop a personalized treatment plan that supports long-term well-being. A psychiatric evaluation is an opportunity for individuals to connect with our compassionate physicians in a safe, supportive environment.

When Is a Psychiatric Evaluation Needed?

This is a valuable tool for assessing an individual’s mental and emotional health conducted by a psychiatrist. It may be recommended:

• As part of an initial diagnosis for mental health concerns.
• Before starting a new medication or treatment plan.

Why Is a Psychiatric Evaluation Important?

A psychiatric evaluation provides a clear and comprehensive picture of an individual’s mental health, uncovering any underlying challenges and guiding the most effective course of treatment. It is an essential first step toward healing and emotional wellness.
