Discover My Story
Dr. Shlomo Uzhansky
I was born in Kyiv, Ukraine, and now live with my family in Jackson, New Jersey. After receiving smicha from Beth Medrash Govoah, I founded the Staten Island Hebrew Academy—an outreach day school that continues to inspire children from marginally affiliated Jewish homes to develop a deep love for Torah and the Jewish people.
I hold a doctorate in social work (DSW) from Long Island University and maintain clinical licenses in both New Jersey and New York. Additionally, I am licensed in New Jersey as a Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC).
I trained under Mordechai Weinberger, LCSW, of The Serenity Center, and bring a broad, integrative clinical approach to my work. I am proficient in CBT, DBT, and IFS, and I incorporate select holistic and emerging methodologies to support meaningful, lasting change.
Central to my practice is the integration of Torah values and perspective alongside evidence-based clinical care. I view emotional healing and personal growth through both a professional therapeutic lens and a Torah framework, helping clients reconnect with their inherent worth, purpose, and inner strength.
My work emphasizes responsibility, resilience, compassion, and spiritual alignment—guiding individuals and families toward clarity, stability, and wholeness.

One-on-One Counseling
Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, lack of motivation, or simply feeling stuck in life—don’t wait. Change begins with a single step.
Dr. Uzhansky has helped dozens of clients release the grip of fear and hopelessness and build lives that feel grounded, meaningful, and fulfilling.

When your focus moves beyond simply escaping pain and toward discovering purpose, joy becomes possible.
Building a Bayis Neeman
We support young men in building the foundation for a thoughtful, respectful, and meaningful relationship. Many have grown up with limited exposure to understanding women’s perspectives, and I provide guidance on fostering communication, empathy, and mutual respect. Together, we work on practical tools to help them approach marriage with confidence, maturity, and a deeper understanding of their future partner.

Every strong marriage is intentionally nurtured.
Whether your relationship feels intense and emotionally charged, distant and disconnected, or strained by challenges such as addiction or crisis, meaningful repair is possible. Dr. Uzhansky helps couples develop the tools needed to rebuild trust, deepen intimacy, and strengthen emotional connection. Together, you will learn practical strategies to communicate effectively, resolve conflict, and restore a sense of partnership and stability.

There is still hope.
Dr. Uzhansky offers a compassionate, structured path toward recovery—helping clients achieve and maintain sobriety while learning how to face life with clarity rather than fear.
