No Man's an Island

Secure Attachment for Dads - Faith, Class and Masculinity with Dr Moshe Moeller


Listen Later

Welcome to Episode 23 of No Man’s an Island – a podcast powered by Men’s Therapy Hub, a directory of male therapists for male clients.


In this episode, Dr Jett Stone speaks with Dr Moshe Moeller, clinical psychologist, assistant professor at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and associate director of the Hero Dads programme at Montefiore Medical Center in New York City.


Moshe shares his journey from rabbinical study into clinical psychology and how fatherhood became the centre of his academic and clinical work. They reflect on being two of the only men in their doctoral cohort and what it was like training in environments where masculinity was often framed through deficit.


The conversation explores masculinity in Orthodox Jewish communities, shifting gender roles, religious responsibility and the tension between tradition and modern fatherhood. Moshe speaks candidly about patriarchal norms, financial pressure, stigma around therapy and the evolving expectations placed on men.


They then turn to Moshe’s work in the South Bronx with non-custodial fathers navigating poverty, child support systems and bias in the family courts. Moshe explains insecure attachment in accessible terms and describes how the Hero Dads programme creates a space where men who have never felt heard can finally lower their guard.


This is a powerful discussion about class, culture and what fathers really need to stay connected to their children.
