Cathi Moore

I believe in a client-centered, client-led approach to therapy, and our initial session will be an assessment about what brings you to therapy and what you’d like to change. I cater each session to meet your individual needs and goals based on your family, health, treatment history, future goals, and present circumstances. My approach to therapy is holistic, and I believe that we are not just our thoughts or symptoms but rather an interconnected system consisting of mind, body, spirit, and soul. Therapy is a very interactive process; the more you put into therapy, the better results you will get. The clients who experience the best results are the ones who are motivated for change and take consistent actions to change. We will discuss what kind of outside assignment feels useful and aligns with your style and broader goals.

My path to becoming a therapist was somewhat meandering, though that allowed me to land in exactly the right place. It involved a variety of life experiences, both professionally and personally. Personally, I have participated in my own therapy and have reached a place of self-awareness and acceptance. I have always been interested in people's stories, how we perceive things, what drives our decisions, and what we do. As a therapist, I have curiosity about you and there is no judgment about your past, your experiences, or your feelings. Professionally, I have worked as a mental health crisis assessor, worked with homeless veterans, provided counseling to family systems, and provided support and counseling in hospice settings. I integrate my experiences with compassion, sensitivity, and creativity so that you may experience acceptance, a sense of belonging, and a chance to process thoughts and feelings in a warm, nonjudgmental space.
