I primarily focused on helping adult individuals. Rather it be a neurotic disorder, a mood disorder, a psychosis, or something less complex, I have a thorough understanding of working with individuals. I have focused my therapeutic education on clinical adult mental health. I utilize system theory, cognitive behavior theory, dialectical behavioral theory, and empowerment theory. All of these concepts I have studied throughout my college career into post-graduate trainings. Each plays an important part throughout the therapeutic process and are utilize interchangeably.

I believe all people possess the courage and strength to overcome life's obstacles. I believe with the right mindset and mental health foundation, change is attainable. Is therapy something you have thought about or tried in the past? There are many factors that bring people into therapy; however, one consistent theme seems to persist throughout; the want to learn about or change one's self. I believe I can assist people with this transition in life. I feel that my empathetic and compassionate approach make it easy for people to connect with me and help build a strong therapeutic alliance.

I understand that trauma can overwhelm an individual and those closest to them. Many times, traumatic experiences cause negative beliefs about yourself, others, and the world around us. I utilize therapeutic techniques to assist the individual in developing skills to cope with these negative belief systems and daily challenges. I also want to help you improve any areas of your life that you want to focus on - relationships, work stress, home life, communication, healthy coping skills, etc.

As an ally and member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I feel a calling to help others in the community who struggle to connect with mental health professionals so they can be fully seen, heard, and cared for.

Hi, I'm Dr. Moran , a licensed clinical professional counselor. Emotional Intelligence - the core of my training, embraces the belief systems of the past that affect your present. It's a state - of - mind that defines thinking that affects emotional awareness. To become aware is not to change, but to understand and accept. Carrying guilt or shame of the past, triggers the conflict of now. I don't offer advice - I offer choices - a chance to choose your own method of healing that fits you - not something others feel 'should' be. Come. Sit. Talk. Let's wander your path together.

I have extensive training and experience in psychological testing. I provide ADHD and Autism testing for adults and children. I can help clarify or differentiate a diagnosis as well. My strategy with psychological assessment is to help people understand their underlying condition and provide recommendations to help them thrive. I do not accept insurance for psychological testing but do accept insurance for ongoing therapy.

I believe that healing can occur when we feel seen, heard, and understood. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, or self-exploration, open and genuine connections can allow us to grow and build the skills needed for change. I approach therapy as a collaborative process in which we work together to increase understanding and awareness. A strong therapeutic relationship can be a powerful tool to promote healing, and I aim to create a safe environment that allows clients to be their authentic selves.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
