Shmuel Brachfeld

Shmuel Brachfeld, PhD, is a compassionate psychologist who earned his PsyD in clinical psychology from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine in 2017. With extensive experience in addressing addictions and the underlying traumas that often accompany them, Shmuel fosters an environment of hope and healing. His expertise extends to supporting concerned family members, aiding them in cultivating positive surroundings for themselves and their loved ones. By employing a blend of Evidence-Based Practices, Shmuel tailors his approach to accommodate the unique requirements of each individual client. Grounded in attachment theory, he artfully integrates somatic interventions and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to empower clients in establishing a sense of safety and self-mastery. As clients embark on their journey, Shmuel guides them in exploring the roots of their addiction and trauma, fostering a deeper understanding of their experiences. This heightened self-awareness allows clients to engage more mindfully and compassionately with themselves and the world around them. Ultimately, this transformative process leads to a reduction in negative behaviors and symptoms, guiding clients toward a more fulfilling life.
