Who we are

At A Perceptual Shift, we believe growth isn’t linear—neither in life nor in a career in social work.

Founded by Matthew Breiner, MSW, LCSW, MBA, our mission is to support people in transition—whether you’re building a clinical career, navigating aging, or simply looking to reconnect with your strengths.

We offer:

  • LCSW supervision for emerging and established professionals

  • Consultation for families and individuals navigating aging or care planning

  • Counseling grounded in systems thinking and a strengths-based lens

We meet you where you are—with clarity, respect, and practical guidance.

Every session is a space for insight, reflection, and forward movement. Sometimes the shift is subtle. Sometimes it’s life-changing.

A small shift in perception can make a big difference.
