Dr. Yisroel Loeb is a Psychologist, educator, and the founder and CEO of Empower Mental Health.
Dr. Loeb moved from New York City to Phoenix, Arizona to complete his residency/internship training at Southwest Behavioral & Health Services within an inpatient crisis facility. He then completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Arizona Department of Child Safety working with high-risk parents and their children as well as the court system.
With a focus on preventative psychology, Dr. Loeb has dedicated his career to empowering others by helping them build resilience and address emotional challenges before they become crises. A focus on empowering others is not something he leaves at the door when he puts on the CEO hat. Getting to know employees and the unique ways each individual can be empowered is just as important to Dr. Loeb in his role as CEO. Dr. Loeb is dedicated to creating systems and tools that make a meaningful difference for both providers and the people they serve.
Outside of his professional life, Dr. Loeb is a published poet who enjoys using writing as a way to explore the complexities of human emotion and experience. A point of pride for Dr. Loeb is that when he first moved to Arizona, he did not own a car and rode a motorcycle for 3 years in full protective gear, despite the extreme summer temperatures reaching 120 degrees. These personal pursuits reflect his belief in the importance of balance, creativity, and embracing life’s opportunities—values he strives to instill in his work and in those he mentors. Dr. Loeb is known for having a dry and some might say "dark and colorful" sense of humor, which might be why he has chosen to start his own company and "work for himself."
Dr. Loeb is recognized for his dry, and at times, uniquely dark and colorful sense of humor—a trait that may have influenced his decision to establish his own company and pursue independent entrepreneurship!
