His practice incorporates multiple therapeutic modalities, including Internal Family Systems (IFS), trauma-informed psychodynamic psychotherapy, and client-centered approaches tailored for clients at various stages of recovery from sex addictions.

Josh’s professional journey to his career as a psychotherapist was shaped by his prior role as a congregational Rabbi at Kehilas Beis Yehuda in Suffern, NY. He currently serves as Mashgiach Ruchani (Spiritual Advisor) for students at Yeshiva University. Through his experiences with students and congregants as a counselor, advisor and religious authority, he recognized the profound impact of therapeutic relationships on healing and growth. He also became increasingly aware of the prevalence of trauma and mental health issues, prompting him to pursue formal training at the Wurzweiler School of Social Work.

Josh draws upon techniques and perspectives from diverse modalities, complemented by insights derived from the Jewish religious tradition. He believes that treatment should be individualized to address each person's uniqueness. With advanced training and certification as a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT), Rabbi Mr. Blass possesses specialized expertise in supporting men through sex addiction recovery, which frequently involves addressing underlying trauma.
