Individual therapy sessions take place masked or outdoors at your home, or via remote session. Some of us who need extra support have a hard time getting to appointments precisely because we are stressed out, ill, or overwhelmed. I travel all over the Greater Sacramento Area and Davis, California to bring the support you need straight to the comfort of your home.

When you need someone to talk to, when anxiety or depression, move you to call a therapist, I am available to listen and to help. I am a licensed professional, with over 42 years of experience specializing in psychotherapy for individuals, couples and families. People in all phases of life- from young teens to older adults- find my office to be their safe place.

I enjoy working with clients who are ready to figure out how to be happpy. Barriers to happiness are not limited to the mental realm and may include physical issues, sexual issues, relationship issues, and spritual issues. These issues interrelate and thus must all be addressed as possible roadblocks to happiness. The symptom is not the cause and is often key in figuring out the cause. I believe in the power of the human beings to heal themselves. I see my role as helping identify, educate, and move past roadblocks to this process.

I believe that we all have an innate desire to become the best person that we can be and we all adjust to difficulties in life in ways that work in the moment but which frequently then become routinized and prevent us from being fully alive and authentic. I work with people to help them sort through what is not working in their lives and help them access deep internal resources so that they are able to experience greater freedom and choice in their lives.

My goal is to help you feel less alone and overwhelmed by the challenges life can present. Whether it's panic attacks, social anxiety, sadness, apathy, lack of motivation, anger, relationship conflict, or other concerns, we'll work on a solution. I understand how limiting psychological distress can be and am passionate about helping you start living a more meaningful and engaged life. I draw from the insights of psychodynamic theorists to explore unconscious motivations, from the wisdom of interpersonal thinkers to understand your relationships, and from the science of cognitive behavioral researchers to change your thinking and attitudes.

Therapy can be a powerful tool in deepening relationships, moving through pain, understanding the unknown, and tolerating discomfort. My therapeutic work is rooted in an awareness that people have the desire and the resources within to meet their potential. I feel that it's the empathic relationship that I develop with you that generates this kind of self directed change. By meeting you where you are, and helping you to see parts of yourself that may feel inaccessible, we will engage on a journey together that will move you forward in living your life the way that you want to.

Hello, I am Judy Moore. I bring an exciting range of life experience and professional training to the therapy setting. I honor the stories and narrations you share with me in therapy and believe that the slow formation of trust between us creates a sacred ground for healing. Through this relationship built on trust and respect, you can find a way to more confidently navigate your life in a calmer way. I enjoy working with mood disturbance, anxiety, relationship issues and existential life situations. I am particularly fascinated by cultural diversity and am committed to helping you grow in a supportive and encouraging environment.

I have worked as a psychotherapist for over 20 years. I meet you where you are, attending to the particular needs and goals you bring, helping you discover more meaning, wholeness, and pleasure in your life. The daily choices we make are often informed by our early life experiences. Despite our best efforts to change, we often find ourselves repeating unwanted patterns over and over. As we sit together, exploring your feelings, your stories, and listening to your dreams and longings, we will find ways you can open yourself up to the possibility of change, finding new energy and meaning.

My practice focuses on helping people develop healthier relationships with themselves and others. I believe in building a safe, respectful and compassionate relationship with my clients where we can exchange direct, honest, and meaningful feedback. Within this trusting relationship, we can explore your challenges and strengths so that you have more healthy choices regarding your life goals. Whether you struggle with anxiety, depression, stress, anger, isolation, grief or relationship issues, or if you simply want to live more authentically and fully, there is hope. Key elements in the change process include curiosity and a desire to learn about yourself.

I believe that therapy can be a rewarding and life-changing experience. I became a therapist to help people lead happier, more productive lives. Clients need a sense of connection and trust, but also need someone who will gently challenge long-standing beliefs and patterns in a way that leads to positive change. I have been a therapist in the Davis community for 20 years, and have extensive training in Biofeedback, Neurofeedback, Coherence therapy, and Long term psychodynamic psychotherapy.

Mental health is a part of living a healthy and happy life. It is closely connected to our emotions and it could affect us physiologically.

Are you suffering from anxiety, depression or the aftermath of trauma? Do you struggle with painful patterns in your life that persist despite your best efforts toward change? Are you nervous to try therapy because of the expense and exposure? Have strong effort and promising insights in previous therapy failed to bring you relief? Are you struggling with a difficult child or teenager and feeling like your good intentions and best efforts are not reaching them? Traditional, insight-oriented therapy may help with such challenges--but if not, behavioral therapy may help, regardless of success with mental insight and understanding.

I believe we all hold an innate capacity to gain perspective, repair, and thrive. But sometimes this can feel unimaginable. We feel a loss of control and certainty. In times of stress and uncertainty, therapy simply provides a safe space where all feelings are welcome. Therapy helps us cope and uncover strengths. It can guide us back to our essential self and support us to process our past. As a social-justice oriented therapist, I find it important to contextualize how larger systemic forces impact our world. My style is collaborative and we will develop a process that honors your story and authenticity.
