Getting to know Marilea Moore

I believe therapy should feel like a safe place to exhale. My practice is centered on helping individuals and families navigate life’s challenges with compassion, curiosity, and evidence-based tools. I specialize in trauma recovery, anxiety, grief—including the pain of losing a loved one—and the unique transitions of motherhood and parenthood such as fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond. My approach is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative. I integrate talk therapy with creative and trauma-informed methods such as EMDR, Sandtray Therapy, and polyvagal practices to help clients process deeply held experiences and build resilience. Clients often tell me they appreciate the balance I bring gentle support when it’s needed, and thoughtful challenge that encourages growth. Whether you’re seeking relief from anxiety, healing after loss, or support in the messy middle of motherhood, I am here to walk alongside you as you rediscover your strength and create meaningful change.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Therapy with me feels like a safe place to breathe and be real. I bring a warm, down-to-earth approach where you’ll feel supported, never judged. Together, we’ll explore what feels heavy while also building on your strengths. I specialize in trauma recovery, anxiety, grief, and the transitions of motherhood—pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting. I also welcome fathers and partners, because the whole family system matters. My sessions combine talk therapy with creative, trauma-informed tools like EMDR, Sandtray Therapy, and polyvagal practices. Clients often say they appreciate that I balance compassion with gentle challenge, helping them find clarity, calm, and hope. I offer free 15-minute consultations so you can see if we’re a good fit. My goal is simple: to help you feel seen, supported, and ready to move forward.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

We start with a free 15-minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit. If you decide to move forward, the first full session is focused on hearing your story, understanding what brings you in, and setting goals together. From there, our sessions are collaborative and tailored to your needs. Some days we’ll talk things through, other times we may use creative or trauma-informed approaches like EMDR, Sandtray Therapy, or nervous system regulation skills. I check in with you often about what’s working and what isn’t—therapy is not one-size-fits-all, and your feedback helps guide our work. The process is about building safety, exploring what feels heavy, and helping you move toward healing, clarity, and strength.
