Moishe Maleh, MSW's style

Why Moishe Maleh, MSW chose to be in the helping profession

Helping people has been part of our family values for generations. From a young age, supporting others felt natural and deeply meaningful. I chose this path because I believe that every person has the ability to grow, heal, and transform. Being able to walk alongside someone as they discover a stronger, healthier version of themselves is both an honor and a responsibility I cherish.

That process of growth continues to inspire my work every day. I approach each person with curiosity, respect, and a belief in their resilience, creating a space where they can explore challenges and celebrate progress. My goal is to offer guidance and support while empowering individuals to uncover their own strengths. Seeing someone gain confidence, clarity, and hope is what makes this work truly rewarding.

Moishe Maleh, MSW's approach

My approach to therapy is rooted in person-centered principles, Child-Centered Play Therapy, and attachment-based beliefs. I believe that children and teens thrive most within safe, consistent, and emotionally attuned relationships. In therapy, the focus is on building trust and connection, meeting each individual where they are rather than trying to change behaviors. I see behaviors and emotional struggles as meaningful forms of communication, often reflecting unmet relational needs that deserve understanding rather than judgment.

I also believe that parents want what is best for their children and teens, and that therapy is most effective when it is a collaborative process. By working together, we can strengthen both the individual and the family system, fostering greater connection and understanding. My goal is to create a space where children, teens, and parents feel heard, supported, and empowered to navigate challenges. The relationships we build in therapy become the foundation for lasting growth and resilience.

What you can expect from sessions with Moishe Maleh, MSW

Clients can expect a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where they feel truly seen and respected. Sessions focus on building trust and emotional safety, understanding that meaningful change comes through connection and understanding rather than pressure. For children, therapy often incorporates play as a natural way to express thoughts and emotions, while teens engage in more conversational and collaborative sessions that honor their growing independence. I meet each client where they are, following their lead while gently guiding growth, emotional regulation, and self-awareness.

Parents can expect open communication, guidance, and a true collaborative partnership. Together, we work toward the shared goal of raising emotionally healthy, confident, and resilient children and teens. My approach emphasizes both the individual and family system, helping families navigate challenges with understanding and support. The ultimate aim is to create a space where children and teens can feel safe, empowered, and capable of expressing themselves fully.

Moishe Maleh, MSW's experience working with the Jewish community

I am a Heimish Jew and grew up in a close-knit Jewish community, which gives me a deep understanding of the values, culture, and lifestyle of the people I work with. Over the past seven years, I have supported Jewish families and individuals from a wide range of communities and backgrounds, spanning different levels of observance and life experiences. This work has given me insight into the unique challenges and strengths that each community brings, and the ways those experiences shape growth and relationships.

My experience allows me to provide culturally sensitive support that honors tradition while helping clients and families thrive emotionally, socially, and relationally. I strive to create a safe and welcoming space where Jewish clients feel truly seen, understood, and supported in ways that align with their values and way of life. By combining empathy with respect for cultural context, I help clients navigate challenges while nurturing resilience, connection, and well-being.
