Free to be yourself. To connect with others.

To communicate. To take action. To be wildly successful.

Talk to Mordy

Actually, it is.

Little kids don’t perform. They don’t get stuck. They just – live life.

When we take a leaf from their book and relearn how to play – how to have fun, be spontaneous, dance like nobody’s watching even when everybody’s watching – we make the same switch.

  • We stop performing and start living.

  • Stop guarding ourselves and start genuinely connecting.

  • Stop holding back and start taking risks.

I’m here to do 3 things:

  • Create the safety needed for play

    One on one, that means teaching you how to feel safe being yourself. In group settings, it means creating an atmosphere of safe connection among a team or audience.

  • Teach you how to get playful

    Through proven techniques, I help you let loose, show up as your full, vibrant self — and feel awesome about it.

  • Guide you toward those breakthroughs

    I guide you in channeling your newfound safety and freedom to fast-track the transformation you want to see.

Like alphabet soup?

Some of the ingredients that give The Mordy Effect its magic

LCSW

I’ve been helping people navigate and heal their inner stuff for 10 years – in private practice and in group therapy settings.

Psychodrama

Psychodrama gives me powerful, experiential tools to unlock real behavior change for coachees and audiences.

CSAT

Nothing like 10 years guiding addicts toward sobriety to make you really good at helping people exchange destructive behaviors for healthy, productive patterns.

Cert ART.

I use my experience practicing Accelerated Resolution Therapy – rapid trauma resolution – to rip down blocks and get people unstuck

Cert PTP

As a Playback Theater Practitioner, I help teams and groups build safety, empathy and connection through active joint improv and storytelling

Choose your adventure:

Get outside

the box

Looking for fresh, interesting and impactful? You’ve hit the jackpot.

Buckle up for surprises

Presenter-standing-up-front-with-slides? Not here. Expect sudden music breaks and interactive stunts that keep everyone on their toes.

Have some serious fun

Not just because you’ll laugh. Meet clown theory. Psychodrama. Proven techniques that pull personal growth out of play.

Walk away with real

Zero fluff tolerance. Get (gently) punched in the gut by insights that genuinely change the way you live.

An Exceptional Therapist

If you are looking for a therapist that will walk alongside you and encourage you along the way, I highly recommend Mordy! He is compassionate and trauma-focused, and his groups are a great option if you'd like something outside of individual therapy.

A Safe, Supportive Space

Mordy is passionate about creating safe places to help people grow! Providing group therapy opportunities to clients is a wonderful compliment to individual therapy for clients wanting a little extra support.

A Powerful Community Resource

We're proud to have Mordy Gottlieb in our community, supporting men's and boys' mental health. His group therapy sessions offer a unique space for men to connect and grow-a truly transformative experience. We're grateful for his impact and dedication.

Transformative Experience

Mordy's groups are a critical resource for men to develop skills and self-awareness. We as people learn so much in groups through seeing behaviors modeled and recognizing we are never alone in our experiences. Mordy's skills are crucial for connection.

Deeply Supportive Experience

Mordy is passionate about supporting humans through life's many ups and downs! He provides a comfortable space in a group setting to allow the opportunity to be seen and heard!
