Moshe Maness is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor from Brooklyn, NY but now online in NY. CT, MA, PA, FL, AK and WA. Moshe is passionate about showing individuals that their mental health doesn’t have to control their lives. Moshe helps clients who face depression, anxiety, stress, and difficult emotions that hold them back from living full lives. These individuals might also face perfectionism or burnout. Their mental health may get in the way of succeeding in the workplace, building healthy relationships, or feeling confident in themselves. Many of Moshe’s clients also experience overwhelming and at times confusing feelings of anger, frustration, loneliness, or regret. Moshe’s approach to therapy is psychodynamic, person-centered, and emotionally-focused. Clients talk openly about what’s on their mind, including their past, recent or current emotions, situations that made them react in a certain way, or ideas that came to them since the last session. Moshe helps clients make connections between the past and the present. He also teaches clients how to pay close attention to how they’re feeling, both emotionally and physically. Clients practice mindfulness to develop a keen sense of awareness that can help them better understand their reactions. Moshe also helps clients align their lives closer to their values and what’s important to them so that there’s no dissonance between how they live and how they want to live. He encourages them to consider existential questions about their life’s purpose and what it means to them to be fulfilled. Moshe earned a Master’s degree from Columbia University. He empowers clients to live confidently and with a sense of worthiness, even if they’re facing mental health challenges. He values creativity, compassion, and acceptance in his work with clients and strives to build a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship from the very first session.

Associate Marriage and Family Therapist
Online & In-PersonAccepting New Clients
I am an Associate Therapist and have provided support to children, adolescents, adults, couples and families from diverse backgrounds. A significant part of my work has focused on adolescents and young adults who have experienced domestic violence and sex trafficking. In these roles, I have supported clients as they navigate the impacts of complex trauma, helping them build safety, resilience, and a sense of control over their own lives. My therapeutic approach is grounded in trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, solution- focused therapy, emotionally focused therapy (EFT), and narrative therapy. I believe healing happens when clients feel empowered and understood, so I integrate these modalities in a flexible and collaborative way. Treatment is always tailored to the individual, honoring their strengths, cultural background, and personal goals rather than relying on rigid or prescriptive methods. As a mature female clinician, I bring both life experience and empathy into the therapeutic space. I returned to school later in life, which gives me a personal understanding of what it means to start over, face uncertainty, and pursue growth during times of transition. I am deeply passionate about helping people feel genuinely heard and seen—something many individuals have never experienced while simply trying to meet their most basic needs. Creating a safe, respectful space where clients feel valued is at the core of my work.
