Teletherapy for Pennsylvania

Waiting lists are long, situations are urgent, and help can be hard to find. Compassionate and successful therapeautic care for you or your struggling teen is available through the counseling services I offer. If you or someone you know is struggling with issues like depression, anxiety, academic struggles, obsessive compulsive disorder, ADHD, self injury, sexual orientation, gender identity, or suicidal ideation reach out to set up an appointment or brief introductory virtual meeting. Weekend and evening appointment times are available. I know first hand how scary it can be to watch an adolescent you love struggle and suffer.

Currently I am accepting new clients with immediate openings during daytime hours. I focus on treatment for LGBTQAI and Non Binary clients struggling with trauma, dissociative disorders, transitioning, depression and anxiety. I also have a passion for helping other therapists in their own journey to wellness. I am EMDR trained, a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and use trauma informed therapy, internal systems, psychodynamic, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I have over 20 years experience and am compassionate and well informed. I also offer a tele group for transmen who are my clients. Age range is from 18 to 64.

Have you been struggling with trauma, codependency, anxiety or grief and loss issues? Are you looking for effective strategies to help you overcome these problems and get your life back on track? Using evidence-based techniques can help you identify the barriers to living the life you want and learn the skills to achieve the goals that are important to you. I am passionate about empowering clients to make useful changes in their lives. I provide a path to those changes through various therapeutic techniques, such as DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and CPT (Cognitive Processing Therapy).

Hi, I'm Derik Moore, LCSW. I worked as an outpatient psychotherapist and clinical supervisor for 10 years in the community mental health realm prior to establishing my own practice. I began my career working with those living with HIV as an activist in the mid-1990s in Newark and New Brunswick, NJ, where I engaged in street outreach and advocated for a harm reduction approach. This work informed my commitment to public health and to exploring how economic and sociological factors play significant roles in the ways we move through the world. I have also been a musician for nearly 40 years and offer virtual and in-person drum lessons.

I define myself as an IFS-informed EMDR therapist. I believe that therapy's main goal is to help us come to terms with our past and move on with our lives. What helped us adapt to our environment before, may be maladaptive now. We may experience stressful situations, and these situations may negatively impact the way we see ourselves, the way that we see others, the way that we see the world, and the way that we see our future. The good news is that with courage, curiosity, and introspection, we can change even the most deep-seated negative beliefs about ourselves and others; we can become aware of, and change the way we react.

I am a licensed Professional Counselor in PA, DE, and NJ. With over 18 years of experience, I have worked with all different ages, populations, and concerns. I am a seasoned therapist with training in CBT, DBT, and Trauma. I will help bring back balance in the client's life by addressing their emotional and behavioral needs. I have extensive knowledge and experience addressing blended families, parenting challenges, and conflict resolution. We will work together to understand the "whys" and build better strategies to improve the areas in your life you want to change. We will look at ways to improve communication with others.

Are you tired of struggling with with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, low self-esteem, grief, trauma or self-harming behaviors? Are you going through a major life transition and need support and guidance? I can provide you with a safe space to build the skills to overcome these problems and move closer to the life you want. My primary strategies draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, DBT skills training, Solution-Focused and Strengths Based approaches. We will work together to pursue the goals that are important to you provide you with the skills to accomplish them.

I work well with mood problems, anxiety, substance use problems and trauma. I also enjoy helping clients who are struggling with low self-esteem, codependent relationships, and those uncertain about their purpose or direction in life. If you're feeling lost, therapy can help you to find a sense of meaning.

Are you feeling anxious or depressed? Are you having substance use problems? Are you having trouble with your identity? Difficulty managing emotions? Making changes can be overwhelming, but I am here to guide you through this journey. I will listen and give feedback. We will practice going over different types of techniques in order to improve your daily life and to reach your goals. This is a safe space that is nonjudgmental where you can feel comfortable to be who you are.

Are you tired of feeling down, stressed, overwhelmed or just not yourself? Do you need help to address your obsessive thoughts, insomnia, or problems with eating, getting things done or your relationship? As a licensed PhD-level clinical psychologist trained at top-ranked universities, I help many adults in Pennsylvania and other states feel better using individual and couples therapy approaches with effectiveness supported by scientific research: Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT, CBT-E, CBT-I), Exposure Response-Prevention (ERP, ExRP) Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Prolonged Exposure (PE), and Gottman Couples Therapy.

Healing is a lifelong journey, and it is not one you must do alone. You are taking a courageous first step towards realignment with yourself. By untangling the past, we can begin to heal these wounds and reclaim the narrative of our lives. I companion clients navigating trauma, relational distress, gender and sexuality exploration, sexual concerns, and neurodivergence. In and out of the therapy space, I am sex-positive, sex worker friendly, poly-friendly, kink aware & affirming, and Health at Every Size (HAES) aligned.

If you've been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, trapped, or like your brain just won't stop ruminating and you're tired, but don't know how to make it stop, I'm here for you. When we're low, life can feel scary, lonely and confusing without a roadmap. I help clients find energy, mental rest, and stability in their lives. We'll take it one step at a time and walk you through mental health recovery at the pace that feels right to you, so you can gain control of your life. I’ve personally dealt with severe anxiety, depression, suicide attempts, trauma, alcohol abuse, and the loss of a brother to addiction, so I'm no stranger to the journey.

My ideal client is a young adult or adult who wants help in improving their lives. I treat clients that want more in their lives, want to work on self-improvement, motivation to meet goals and flourish in their lives. I can also help clients struggling with anxiety, depression, and an unhappiness with the direction of their lives. I believe that the relationship between the therapist and the client is very important, and I feel I listen well and help the client where they are at and move forward in the right direction.

I practice both flexibility and adaptability in building a strong therapeutic relationship with my clients and finding the evidenced-based approach that will best resonate with their experiences. I provide therapy and evaluation services to children, adolescents, young adults, and families. With evaluations/assessment, I seek to help my client learn and understand their own strengths first and foremost. I enjoy helping families to modify their communication styles with one another in order to ensure that all parties feel heard and improve their relationships overall.

Is the weight of the world on your shoulders? Do you need to feel seen and heard? My clients are mostly adults and older adolescents who experience a myriad of concerns such as: loneliness; grief; infertility; divorce; relationship difficulties; communication difficulties; and more. I offer a holistic counseling experience in which you are considered as a whole person, in all of your complexity. I will listen as well as provide meaningful feedback. Together we build on your strengths to establish a strong foundation that will sustain a mindset of growth and healing.

Feeling stuck and wondering why? Or what you can do about it? Let’s work together to identify your goals and create a path towards them. Along the way we will work on self-acceptance, self-love and developing an understanding of all spheres of yourself. My ideal client struggles to find their words, has difficulties describing what’s happening to them, and often needs validation and acceptance. All stressors, regardless of intensity, can leave us feeling powerless and hopeless as they accumulate. Sometimes people fall short and are not sure why, working with a therapist can help you understand what might be getting in your way.

My goal is to guide people toward making meaningful change. My patients can vary from people who have experienced acute traumatic events, suffered from health-related problems, or are struggling with the problems of everyday life. Utilizing a trauma-informed treatment perspective, I invite my patients into a safe and collaborative therapeutic relationship. I have a decade-plus history of helping individuals experiencing issues ranging from social anxiety to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.
