Hello! My name is Genai Moore and welcome to Moore Abundant Life. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a passion for guiding individuals on their journey towards healing and creating the life they desire – a life that encompasses physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. I believe in the power of therapeutic work, and it's my pleasure to assist you in your path to personal growth. I teach my clients that therapy is a collaborative effort, and you can only reap the benefits based on the effort you invest. But don't worry, we will proceed at your pace, respecting your unique journey. My treatment approach integrates a modern and holistic perspective on wellness. While my toolkit is extensive, it primarily draws from evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and incorporates the vital components of nutrition, movement, and the intricate mind-body connection. I specialize in helping individuals overcome and cope with trauma, depression, anxiety, and grief. These are complex challenges that can weigh us down, but with the right support and approach, you can navigate through them and heal. I offer individual and couples therapy, where I create a supportive space for clients to explore their challenges and strengths. I am particularly passionate about serving people of color and the LGBTQAI community, acknowledging the importance of culturally competent and affirming mental health care. With a focus on empowerment and resilience, I strive to help clients navigate their mental health journeys authentically and achieve positive, lasting changes. If you're tired of feeling stuck, I invite you to join me in a process of self-discovery and forward progress. Together, we can work through the obstacles, unlock your potential, achieve the life you desire. Remember, it's your journey, I'm here to provide the guidance and support you need.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During our initial session, we will discuss the mutual expectations of both therapist and client, establishing a framework for our collaborative work. I will guide you through a comprehensive psycho-social assessment, delving into relevant aspects of your personal history and current circumstances. This thorough examination aims to provide a nuanced understanding of your unique experiences and challenges. Additionally, we will explore your therapeutic goals, identifying the milestones you aspire to achieve. This collaborative goal-setting lays the groundwork for our shared journey towards your desired outcomes. Our first session is designed to be a thoughtful and purposeful commencement of the transformative work that lies ahead, ensuring that our therapeutic alliance is not only meaningful but also tailored to your specific needs and aspirations.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
One of my most profound strengths as a therapist lies in my capacity for empathy, creating a space where clients feel truly seen and heard. I take pride in fostering an environment where individuals can explore their vulnerabilities while concurrently empowering them to embark on a transformative journey towards their goals. Clients frequently express appreciation for my therapeutic approach, which incorporates elements of "tough love"—striking a balance between compassionate support and a candid, motivational push. Drawing from my own life experiences, I strive to establish a genuine connection that transcends the clinical setting, allowing clients to feel not only understood but also genuinely related to on a human level. In essence, my therapeutic philosophy revolves around the art of compassionate empowerment, aiming to unlock each client's fullest potential.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
With ACT we focus on accepting our thoughts and feelings rather than attempting to change or eliminate them. It encourages individuals to identify their values and commit to actions aligned with those values, promoting psychological flexibility. ACT incorporates mindfulness techniques to help individuals be present in the moment and observe their thoughts without judgment. We emphasize the importance of accepting discomfort and moving towards valued goals, fostering a more adaptive and meaningful life. ACT is used to effectively treat various mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and chronic pain. As a certified mental health and nutrition practitioner, Genai helps clients make healthier lifestyle choices and incorporates movement and selfcare as strategies as part of treatment.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a widely practiced form of psychotherapy that focuses on identifying and challenging negative thought patterns and behaviors. It operates on the premise that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected and influence each other. Using this treatment modality, individuals recognize and reframe irrational or harmful thoughts, promoting healthier cognitive patterns. We incorporate goal-oriented strategies to modify behavior and develop coping skills. CBT is evidence-based and has been successfully applied to treat various mental health issues, including anxiety disorders, depression, grief and post-traumatic stress disorder.
Couples Counseling
As a couples therapist, Genai primarily utilizes ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy). Couples therapy utilizing Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) integrates the principles of psychological flexibility into relationship dynamics. It encourages partners to accept each other's thoughts and feelings without judgment, fostering a more compassionate and understanding connection. ACT in couples therapy emphasizes the identification of shared values and goals, promoting a commitment to actions that align with those values. Mindfulness techniques are incorporated to help partners be present in the relationship, improving communication and reducing reactive patterns. The overarching aim is to enhance the couple's ability to adapt to challenges, build resilience, and create a more meaningful and fulfilling partnership. We address communication issues, healing from infidelity, enhance understanding, address intimacy concerns and promote positive changes in the relationship dynamics. We take accountability, discuss expectations, and have open discussions about the relationship. The ultimate goal is to strengthen the relationship, enhance mutual understanding, and equip clients with tools to navigate challenges collaboratively. I make it fun and teach my clients to attack issues not each other!
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a goal-oriented and time-limited therapeutic approach that focuses on identifying and building solutions rather than dwelling on problems. I encourage clients to envision their desired future and explore the steps needed to achieve those goals. The goal is to stay present and future-focused, minimizing discussion of past issues unless relevant to finding solutions. We amplify strengths and resources, promoting a positive and empowering therapeutic process. This approach is known for its efficiency and effectiveness in helping individuals create tangible and sustainable changes in a relatively short period.
