President and CEO
Dr. Adi Loebl is President and CEO of the Ackerman Institute for the Family, one of the first and most influential institutions in the world dedicated to couple and family therapy. He leads Ackerman’s three integrated missions — clinical care for families, training for therapists, and research that advances the field — with a single organizing conviction: the relationship is the unit of healing.
Dr. Loebl has spent nearly two decades at Ackerman, in almost every seat the Institute has to offer: student, faculty member, Medical Director, Chief Operations Officer, Chief Medical Officer, and Interim Co-Training Director. He was appointed President and CEO in 2024. Under his leadership, Ackerman has strengthened its foundation and sharpened its focus for the decade ahead — bringing the full power of emerging technologies, including AI, to the full complexity of human relationships, always with the therapeutic relationship at the center.
A graduate of the Sackler School of Medicine at Tel Aviv University, Dr. Loebl completed his psychiatry residency and served as chief resident at Montefiore Medical Center, followed by a fellowship in geriatric psychiatry. He is board certified in adult and geriatric psychiatry, serves as Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, taught family and couple therapy to psychiatry residents at Montefiore for more than a decade, and maintains a private practice in psychiatry and couple and family therapy.
