No trust falls. No death-by-powerpoint. No eyerolls. Just breakthroughs.

You’re working hard to build awesome workplace culture

But even after the soft skills trainings, feedback surveys, and team outings, you’re still dealing with
Communication breakdowns
Accountability issues
Playground politics
Motivation lags
Collaboration fiascos
Leadership failures
Lots and lots and lots of complaining
Which makes sense. Because here’s the thing:

Wherever you have People, you also have Stuff.

Insecurities. Status anxiety.

Childhood baggage.

You wish they’d leave their Stuff at home and show up like the rockstars you interviewed. But Stuff is sneaky.  It hides under their blazers (or in their laptop cases) and derails their good intentions.
The best way to fight stuff?

With safety

When you create an environment where your people feel psychologically safe, their stuff gets triggered less. And they perform a whole lot better.
The best way to create safety?

Through playfulness

When you give your people permission to have fun, make mistakes, and show up as their REAL selves… they figure out how to show up as their BEST selves.
I’m Mordy. The safe connection guru

As an LCSW, I built a super-unique toolbox of experiential modalities for cleaning up Stuff and creating safety.

In my office, I’ve used them to cut through the therapy fluff and get clients to real breakthroughs.

In your office, I’ll put them to work cutting through your people’s Stuff. Creating that crucial team cohesion. And unlocking a level of performance you’ll rub your eyes when you see

Workshops

Need to book a team-building event that’s 100% non-cheesy? Check these out:
Cut the act:
Help your team stop performing for each other (so they can, like, perform at work)
How much potential is your team wasting because they’re so busy managing their image? Hint: a LOT. They're avoiding hard conversations. Keeping bold ideas quiet. Burning mental energy that should be powering productivity.
Through science-backed fun 'n games, I help them recognize where they're performing instead of producing. Then I help them break out of the fear that keeps them stuck on managing their image. So they can drop the pressure, show up real, and deliver those the results they've been leaving on the table.
The brainstorm breakthrough:
how to make it safe for your team to think dangerously
Coming up with bold, killer ideas under pressure is hard enough. What if your team's already blocked because they don't feel safe taking creative risks?
This workshop helps them master the art of generating wild concepts, building on crazy ideas, and creating solutions competitors can't imagine — all while the stakes are high. They walk out with a proven framework for rapid awesome ideation. Plus the confidence to use it.
How to talk so team members listen
(and not hate you or each other afterwards)
Your team playing too much broken telephone? When you're scared of hurting relationships or looking stupid, tough-love feedback and tough conversations don't go over well (or don't happen at all).
The Fearless Communication workshop throws your team into powerful role-playing that (aside from being seriously fun) teaches them how to do communication and conflict the right way. So hard conversations can go respectfully and end productively. And constructive feedback starts feeling good both to give and get.

“But will my people think your stuff is garbage?”

They’ll be having too much fun
We aren’t just funny (cue polite laugh). We’re very serious about fun and its powers of transformation. Your people will engage, interact, laugh, and enjoy. Guaranteed.
They’ll be busy with new and different
Ever heard of psychodrama? Clown theory? No? Good. These unique techniques, like others we use, are pulled from cutting-edge psychology. The funnest parts of it.
They’ll walk away concretely changed
We’re not here to throw out cute insights. Your teams will walk out with concrete changes that visibly boost their cohesion, performance — and their happiness at work.

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!
