The Greater Good

Moses received his bachelor’s degree in psychology in 2000 from Siena College. He also had strong interests in sociology and social work. He went to graduate school immediately after at the University of Connecticut and received his master’s degree in Human Development and Family Studies with a concentration in Marriage and Family Therapy. These early influences would inform his career in mental health, gaining broad experience at first, but by 2008 he ran the Intensive Family Preservation program contracted by the state of Connecticut. In 2010, he took the offer to run the Post Adoption Resource Center for an adoption agency where he provided educational workshops, support groups, counseling and a summer program for adopted youth. He was also elected to the board of directors for ATTACh.org

Over the next several years, he worked at a counseling center on Long Island, NY specializing in adoption issues. He also volunteered for the National Brain Tumor Society. Upon returning to Connecticut he continued to see therapy clients in his private practice. In 2020, he was named an Agent of Change by a local affiliate of ABC for his work on anti-racism and adoption advocacy. He had spent that year in self-quarantine offering interviews for various podcasts and the media raising awareness of the mental health and suicide crises among adopted people. He started the #truthislouder movement. In 2021, he was elected to the board of directors for NAAPUnited.org and he shifted his therapy practice to focus more on education and consulting. He currently speaks passionately about adoption trafficking, suicide awareness, and adoption trauma.
