Lucia Moore

I completed my Masters in Counseling Psychology in 2018 from the Wright Institute in Berkeley and started practicing therapy with individuals and couples in the Bay Area in 2017. Much of my work has been informed by my own experiences in therapy. I strive to integrate clinical interventions that affirm diverse identities, open our emotions, and invite curiosity towards our inner world.

I focused my training on providing LGBTQIA+-affirming care, including gender spectrum medical advocacy. I worked with trauma survivors through advocacy in the legal system while training in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) to support folks through providing couples therapy. I received sex therapy certification from the California Institute of Integral Studies in 2022 and am passionate about serving clients that have been systemically and erotically marginalized.

I use a warm approach by incorporating empathetic listening and authentic affirmative communication. I am gentle, focused, and honest, compassionately challenging at times. I incorporate consent around interventions, empowering clients to understand their agency moment to moment in our sessions and, by extension, in their own lives. Body-based awareness is a consistent part of my practice, as I believe that the mind-body connection is a powerful space for healing.

Clients can expect to create a safe space with me so that we care and heal deep bounds. Clients can expect therapy to be collaborative, consent-based and empowering. Couples therapy clients will leave sessions with tools related to communication and emotion regulation. Individual clients will leave sessions with more understanding of themselves, a more compassionate lens towards themselves, and a sense of trust.
