Description

"Lean on your social support and create time to take care of yourself. But also, I can't imagine going through any of this without a therapist." - Julia Yacoob

Julia Yacoob, a seasoned clinical psychologist based in Manhattan, brings over 15 years of experience to her specialized work in guiding individuals through the emotional turmoil of divorce. She highlights the pervasive issue of "stuckness" during the divorce process, where negative thought patterns and cognitive errors can cloud judgment and stall personal growth. Dr. Yacoob views these challenging transitions as opportunities to address unresolved family of origin issues and heal past wounds, fostering a path toward personal healing and emotional resilience. By offering both in-person and virtual sessions across New York State, she provides a supportive environment aimed at breaking the cycle of stuckness and promoting overall well-being.
