About

Yifat Block, Psy.D., L.C.S.W.

Therapy is an investment in yourself. It can deepen your self-awareness and lead to long-term change in your life. The relationship that you will form with your therapist is what paves the way to growth. I work to provide a safe environment for my clients where together we can better understand past patterns, current struggles, and create positive ways to move forward. I alter my approach to best suit each client's individual needs and I integrate techniques from many theories to do so.

Years In Practice 16
Primary Specialty

Psychoanalyst

Gender Female
Education I attended Mount Holyoke and Dartmouth Colleges for my undergraduate degree and I graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Southern California with a Masters in Social Work (MSW). I’m currently working on my doctorate, a Psy.D. at the Institute of Contemporary Psychoanalysis.
Training I was a primary therapist at Oceanaire, a residential treatment facility for eating disorders. I provided individual therapy multiple times a week for each of my clients and ran process groups, a sexuality group, and a cognitive behavioral (CBT) group. At The Gathering Place, a bereavement center, I provided individual short-term and group therapy to those who lost a loved one. At the USC Counseling Center I worked with undergraduate and graduate students providing short-term psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral therapy and ran a social confidence group. At the Older Adult FACTS program I provided in-home psychodynamic therapy to older adults struggling with severe and persistent mental illness.
