Integrating Attachment-Focused EMDR, Gestalt Therapy, Somatic Experiencing® and other experiential, trauma-informed approaches

I'm a psychotherapist, business consultant, and clinical supervisor. I practice through a social justice, trauma-informed, and Health at Every Size (HAES)® lens. I specialize in working with folks who have a disrupted relationship with their body for reasons such as trauma, eating disorders, chronic illness/disability, gender/sexuality dysphoria, and things of the like.

Hi there! Do your emotions feel like a tangled knot inside you? Anytime our feelings or behaviors interfere with living our best life, therapy can help. I am passionate about working with adults, children and couples dealing with emotional struggles.

Dr. Yvette Fruchter is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist who specializes in OCD, anxiety, and OC spectrum disorders (hoarding, body dysmorphia, body focused repetitive behaviors). She received her PhD in Clinical Psychology from Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology at Yeshiva University. Dr. Yvette Fruchter utilizes evidence-based treatments including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.

With a background in social work, I believe that effective psychotherapy involves treatment that includes a bio-psycho-social approach. Clients receive a comprehensive assessment, then collaboratively outline treatment goals. Treatment is always tailored to the individual person, using their strengths in combination with my experience and training, to help them achieve their treatment goals.

My goal as a therapist is to create a supportive environment for folks to explore their gender and sexuality. Perhaps you identify as queer, bi, lesbian, gay, pan, ace, trans, nonbinary, agender, poly, kinky, something else, all of the above, or nothing at all. You deserve to have a space where you can learn more about the different parts of yourself without judgment or pressure. As a queer person who has sought out therapy myself, I know how challenging it can be to find an affirming therapist. Even if your identity isn’t central to your therapy goals, I will always aim to honor and validate every part of your identity in our work.
