Serenity Center is a dedicated mental health facility committed to providing accessible, premium, and versatile services within a multicultural framework. Their person-centered approach ensures that each individual's unique story is honored and addressed with empathy and professionalism.
Founded by Mordechai Weinberger, LCSW, in April 2022, Serenity Center emerged from his extensive two-decade journey in the mental health field. Initially embracing holistic methods, Mordechai recognized the need for a more comprehensive approach, leading him to pursue formal education in social work and various therapeutic modalities. His vision materialized in the Serenity Center clinic, which rapidly expanded to include over 36 clinicians, offering comprehensive mental health services across the lifespan. The center underscores his commitment to making mental health care accessible by accepting all insurances and serving hundreds of clients weekly.

I joined the anxiety workshop with the most dedicated therapist, Iām in therapy for 3 years and I never saw such great results as I did in the group the last 3 weeks. Seeing that Iām not alone and the professional way of coordinating everything and all the information given over so clearly makes a huge difference in my life.
