This week, Achdus Magazine sat down with Toms River resident, R’ Nesanel Nagelblatt, a noted therapist and addiction specialist, for an in-depth conversation. Nesanel begins by sharing stories about his remarkable grandfather, a Holocaust survivor who endured the horrors of Plaszów and Mauthausen and lived to ninety-nine with his faith and spirit fully intact. Nesanel’s vivid retelling of his grandfather’s experiences brings history to life and offers a rare glimpse into the resilience of the human soul.
We also learn about Nesanel’s own journey and what led him to the field of therapy. He discusses how his early work in addiction treatment shaped his career, as well as the powerful lessons he’s learned working with veterans, clients battling severe mental illness, and families in crisis.
Today, Nesanel runs a group practice focused on guiding families through the challenges of addiction and mental health, with a particular emphasis on trauma, anxiety, and psychosomatic conditions. His work is deeply rooted in empathy, professionalism, and a strong understanding of the underlying struggles that so often go unseen.
We’re also excited to announce that Nesanel will be joining Achdus Magazine as a regular contributor with his new column, In the Therapist’s Room, offering readers relatable insights, practical guidance, and eye-opening stories from the world of therapy. In addition, a new podcast series in collaboration with Achdus is in the works, where these vital conversations will continue in an even deeper and more personal format.
