Moshe Aryeh Kushner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience in the mental health field. As Clinical Director at Serenity Center, Moshe leads and supports our team of dedicated therapists, guiding them in providing high-quality, compassionate care.

Moshe earned his MSW from Long Island University, where he focused on clinical social work practice. He has extensive clinical experience as a psychotherapist and clinical supervisor in clinic, school, and private practice settings. Most recently, he served as Clinical Director at an OMH outpatient clinic for four years. In addition to his current role at Serenity Center, Moshe maintains a part-time private practice and teaches as an adjunct professor at Touro University’s Graduate School of Social Work.

Moshe has experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and couples presenting with a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, ADHD, social skills, self-esteem, and relationship or family issues. He utilizes client-centered and psychodynamic therapy approaches, and integrates techniques and skills from multiple modalities he is trained in, including CBT, DBT, Somatic Intervention, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS) and the Nurtured Heart Approach (parenting).

Moshe works from a holistic perspective and appreciates each person’s individuality. He views the therapeutic relationship as a foundation for growth and healing, as it provides a warm, safe space to explore experiences and emotions — while helping clients develop practical tools to thrive independently.

In clinical supervision, Moshe integrates case consultation with personal process work to enhance therapists’ clinical competence and self-awareness. This approach balances reflection, practical techniques, and best practices, fostering clinical growth and professional development.

Moshe’s approach to leadership centers on collaboration, clinical excellence, and creating an environment where both clinicians and clients can thrive. His goal is to ensure each clinician feels heard, valued, and empowered in the important work they do, promoting high-quality client care and cultivating a culture of continuous growth.
