Michelle Moore, MSW. LCSW

Taking the first step into therapy can be overwhelming and challenging, especially for younger clients. I strive to create a safe, welcoming space where each client feels seen, heard, and accepted without judgment. I have a deep passion for working with children and adolescents and helping them navigate life’s challenges and meeting them with patience and compassion as they enter into therapy. In each session, I meet clients with warmth, acceptance, and empathy to cultivate a space where they feel open to share and explore their emotions and experiences.

Drawing from my experience in academic spaces and previous professional roles working with families and children overcoming trauma, I use my experience and strive to support young clients through difficult or complex experiences and emotions while helping them build resilience, confidence, and healthy coping skills. Understanding that young children often communicate best through play, I also incorporate play-based activities into sessions to meet young clients where they are and create a more welcoming and less intimidating space. Through play, I help children communicate and explore their emotions and develop tools for coping.

Above all, I believe that therapy should be a collaborative and uplifting experience. With optimism, I seek to help children and adolescents discover and build upon their strengths, express their emotions, and move toward healing and growth
