Meet Yael Eiserike
A former lawyer turned therapist helping attorneys in California and Washington, D.C. find balance, clarity, and connection in both their careers and their lives.
Hello, I’m Yael
As a former lawyer now practicing as a therapist, I bring a unique perspective to the challenges attorneys face. I understand billable hours, the pressure to always be available, and the constant drive to prove yourself because I lived it before choosing this career.
That background allows me to meet clients with both professional insight and therapeutic support without requiring you to explain the realities of firm life. We can get straight to the work that matters.
Today, I work primarily with attorneys who want to excel in their careers without losing themselves in the process. Many clients come to therapy experiencing anxiety, burnout, insomnia, or a quiet fear that this level of exhaustion is simply the price of success. Together, we focus on managing the intensity of legal work while protecting health, relationships, and a sense of self outside the office.
If you are looking for therapy for lawyers in California or Washington, D.C., my work is designed to be both practical and sustainable.
How Therapy With Yael Works
Therapy with me is straightforward and practical. I don’t believe in generic advice or long theoretical conversations that don’tt translate into real life. Our work is focused, collaborative, and built around strategies you can actually use both in and out of the office.

My Beliefs
I believe therapy should be practical, relatable, and tailored to you. It is not about abstract theory or quick fixes. It’s about creating a process that helps you live with more clarity and ease.
My approach integrates cognitive behavioral techniques with common sense, humor, and lived experience. I want clients to feel empowered to assert their needs, push back on self-doubt, and build a version of balance that actually works in their lives.
While we address what feels most urgent, I also care deeply about long-term growth and fulfillment. Therapy isn’t only about solving today’s problems. It’s about creating lasting change so you can navigate your career and life with resilience, clarity, and alignment with your values.
