I’m committed to assisting you in moving forward and making changes in your life through empowerment. Often, individuals feel powerless to make needed changes in their life. As a result, they stop believing in themselves, give up and stop taking the risks they need to in order to make change.

Moshe Brownstein

Moshe Brownstein

Therapist

Virtual • Massachusetts


I received my Master's in Social Work from Loyola University Chicago in 2014. My clinical values are deeply rooted in the ethos of social work, which is that to understand any person, you must understand the context of their life. This includes your family of origin, socioeconomic status, any discrimination you face, and your religious or spiritual belief system. All of these parts of your life will be essential to bring into the therapy space to understand best what ails you and where we might find remedies within you and your community.
