Rabbi Yosef Chesny, LCSW is a psychotherapist in private practice. Drawing on an integration of several modalities, including Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Somatic Resonance, he helps clients uncover the emotional currents beneath their struggles and facilitates deep transformation from the inside out.
Rabbi Chesny is passionate about helping Bnei Torah move from lives marked by intensity, anxiety, and perfectionism — rooted in guilt, sadness, and low self-esteem — toward lives of authenticity and calm, rooted in a strong sense of self, resilience, and joy.
He is equally devoted to helping talmidim and Rebbeim learn to integrate moach and lev into their learning at the highest levels — transforming limud haTorah into a pursuit that engages even the talmid who otherwise struggles to connect, and restoring the simple joy of Torah for the bachur who only feels engaged through intellectual stimulation.
Beyond the therapy room, Rabbi Chesny is the author of a weekly parsha sheet, A Deeper Dimension, and gives a weekly Zoom class to the tzibur titled Chaim Shel Shalom, focused on acquiring authentic living and inner harmony.
