I am a licensed psychologist and therapist with over 25 years of clinical experience. As a PhD clinical psychologist, I have a comprehensive education in mental health and ongoing relevant training.
For those exploring therapy for the first time -- welcome! Therapy involves talking honestly about ourselves in private. Some thoughts or feelings may have been kept to ourselves for a long time. They weigh us down. Maybe we feel hopeless, frightened or ashamed. But in sharing our ‘inner-selves’, our burden lightens a bit. We can begin to understand ourselves a little better. We make important changes. The goal of therapy is to create a meaningful life --a life worth living.
Each client is different. My therapy approach can differ too, depending on the individual and the situation. I will always ask questions about your life and childhood. Often, I'll ask you to consider other points of view and encourage you to do new things. Therapy sessions typically last a little less than an hour. I find that meeting every week maintains continuity and momentum. However, you are the one who ultimately decides how often we meet. We can message each other between sessions through the BetterHelp platform.
Online therapy is as effective as traditional therapy. It can provide easier and more private access to a therapist and more flexible scheduling.
However, while BetterHelp usually costs less than some others therapies, it is still not cheap. Is it worth it? Unfit can always try a few sessions (maybe 2-3) and then decide. You may decide that the longer term cost over, say, 3 months or even longer is simply too much. Or after a couple of sessions you may decide that I am not a good fit for you. So, as with anything involving money, you should understand the details of your agreement such as number of sessions, billing, etc. The introductory offers can differ situation to situation. I am not involved with this aspect of the program and will refer you to others within BH who handle that.
Finally, therapy is not a quick fix. It is not easy. Making lasting life change may involve several weeks of therapy. But I won't push for more sessions than necessary. My goal is for you to lead a contented life without therapy. We will not attempt to fix everything, but I think that together we can make many things better.

Dr. Moore has been excellent and is easy to talk to. He reserves judgment and allows you to speak openly. I’ve only had a few sessions with Dr. Moore but they’ve certainty paid dividends thus far. I look forward to future sessions and gaining more insights from Dr. More.
