Carmen Moore

Therapist

Virtual • Georgia


Sometimes the hardest part isn't what happened to you—it's carrying the weight of it every day while trying to be there for everyone else. Anxiety, family conflict, grief, trauma, or difficult life transitions can leave you feeling emotionally drained, disconnected, and unsure how to move forward. You deserve a space where you don't have to carry those burdens alone. I work alongside individuals, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, family issues, grief and loss, women's issues, and trauma so they can strengthen their relationships, build emotional resilience, and create healthier, more connected lives. Working with adolescents, adults, and families, I strive to create a compassionate, supportive environment where healing feels possible and lasting change can begin.

Beginning or restarting therapy can sometimes feel overwhelming, but it is a courageous step toward your wellness. Whether you are facing difficult life changes, have a desire to address ongoing struggles, or need help getting "unstuck," I will provide support as we explore ways to alleviate your distress.


I specialize in substance abuse, co-dependency, anxiety, depression, self-harm, and life transitions. I have a preference toward Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, but I use an integrative approach to develop a treatment plan specific to your individual needs.

I value a collaborative approach and welcome client's input throughout the process. I look forward to providing support and direction as you work toward reaching your treatment goals.
