Yossi Hacker is a psychotherapist in private practice who specializes in OCD and trauma therapy with adult men and teens. He brings a unique blend of clinical training, life experience, and emotional insight to his work with individuals navigating anxiety, self-esteem challenges, and trauma-related disorders.

Yossi’s therapeutic approach is trauma-informed and rooted in evidence-based practices, including EMDR Therapy and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD. What sets Yossi apart is his ability to integrate a trauma-sensitive lens into OCD treatment—an approach that acknowledges the emotional roots and life history behind intrusive thoughts, not just their biological basis. This perspective offers clients a more compassionate and holistic path to healing.

Yossi helps clients not only manage their symptoms but also understand themselves on a deeper level—building confidence, emotional resilience, and meaningful relationships along the way. He is known for creating a safe, supportive space where clients feel truly seen, heard, and empowered to grow.

With a background in both education and mental health, Yossi has served in diverse roles—including most recently as Dean of Admissions and Counselor at Talmudic University, where he supports students and faculty alike.

Yossi's work is grounded in empathy, authenticity, and a commitment to clinical excellence. His warm, client-centered style ensures that each person receives care that is thoughtfully tailored to their individual goals and life context.
