Portrait of Michla Ekstein, LCSW

Michla Ekstein

LCSW(she/her)

As a licensed social worker, I have received my master's degree from New York University's Silver School of Social Work. Having been raised in both London and Brooklyn, and in both cases within a traditional religious community, I have a particular interest in working with members of the Chassidic community. I'm fluent in English and Yiddish, which provides me with a unique ability to communicate with and understand the challenges faced by people who are part of, or who grew up in, similar settings.

While I specialize in issues concerning females and couples touched by the traditional Jewish world, I welcome all clients. I approach each person with the attention, compassion, and commitment they deserve.
