Moji Dabney
Hi, I’m Moji, a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner who helps teens and adults find balance, clarity, and relief from anxiety, depression, and life’s everyday stressors. I know how hard it can be to reach out for help when you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin. My goal is to create a space that feels safe, supportive, and judgment-free, where you can take a breath and start untangling what’s been weighing on you.
I’m especially attentive to the needs of neurodivergent individuals, caregivers, and those who may feel overlooked in traditional mental health settings.
My approach is collaborative and compassionate. I combine evidence-based psychotherapy including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and mindfulness with thoughtful, individualized medication management when needed. As a yoga instructor, I also value the connection between body and mind. I often incorporate grounding, breathwork, and gentle awareness techniques that help clients reconnect with their bodies and find calm from within. Together, we’ll explore not only symptom relief, but also what brings meaning, strength, and resilience into your life. Clients often share that they feel heard, grounded, and empowered after our sessions. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, or a major life transition, I’ll meet you exactly where you are and help you take steady steps toward healing and growth. Above all, I believe in your ability to change, heal, and thrive...and I’m here to support you every step of the way.
First session
Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and begin building a trusting therapeutic relationship. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable sharing at your own pace. Together, we'll discuss what brings you to treatment, what is affecting your well-being, and any past experiences that may be important to understanding your story. There is never any pressure to share more than you're ready to, and your questions, thoughts, and feedback are always encouraged. As we learn more about your strengths, challenges, and goals, we'll work together to create a treatment plan that reflects your values, priorities, and the meaningful changes you hope to achieve.
Strengths
I strive to create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel truly seen, heard, and respected. My work blends strong clinical expertise with genuine empathy so clients feel both understood and thoughtfully guided as they navigate emotional and mental health challenges. I use evidence-based approaches while providing culturally responsive, individualized care that honors each person’s unique identity and experiences. I’m especially attentive to the needs of neurodivergent individuals, caregivers, and those who may feel overlooked in traditional mental health settings. Clients often share that they appreciate my authenticity, clear communication, and ability to help them feel grounded, validated, and empowered as they build insight, resilience, and overall well-being.
Ideal clients
I work with individuals navigating burnout, life transitions, and mood changes who are seeking both clarity and practical support. Many of my clients are high-functioning but feel stretched thin, mentally fatigued, or not quite like themselves. They’re often ready for change and want a thoughtful, collaborative approach to care. My practice focuses on medication management, complemented by brief, supportive, and skills-based therapy. I help clients better understand what they’re experiencing, whether it’s related to stress, hormonal changes, or other underlying factors, and guide them toward personalized treatment that feels sustainable and effective. I’m best suited for clients who value a balanced approach, those who are open to medication when appropriate, but also want to build coping strategies, improve daily routines, and strengthen boundaries. Together, we focus on restoring energy, improving focus and sleep, and helping clients feel more grounded and in control of their lives. My style is warm, attentive, and practical. I aim to create a space where clients feel heard and supported, while also offering clear guidance and tools they can apply in their day-to-day life.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I often use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients understand how their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected. Together, we’ll explore patterns that may be keeping you stuck and learn practical ways to shift them. My goal is to help you feel calmer, more confident, and in control as you navigate daily life.
Strength-Based
I use Strength-Based Therapy to help clients recognize and build upon the strengths, abilities, and resilience they already carry within them. Together, we gently explore what has helped you navigate challenges in the past, while identifying the qualities, resources, and supports that can help you move forward. Rather than focusing only on what feels difficult or overwhelming, we also make space for what is working and what feels meaningful to you. My hope is that through this process, you’ll begin to feel more confident in yourself, more connected to your strengths, and more empowered to create positive changes in your life.
Attachment-based
I often draw from attachment-based therapy to gently explore how your early relationships may have shaped the way you connect with others today. Together, we look at patterns around closeness, trust, and safety and notice how they show up in your everyday life. My hope is that this work helps you build more secure and meaningful connections, not only with others but also with yourself, and begin to truly feel that it’s safe to be seen, understood, and supported.
Motivational Interviewing
I often use Motivational Interviewing to help you explore your own reasons for change and reconnect with the confidence that’s already within you. Together, we take an honest and compassionate look at what’s working, what feels stuck, and what seems possible right now. I’m here to walk alongside you in the process, not to push or pressure you, but to support you in rediscovering your strengths and taking steps that feel authentic and right for you.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I often incorporate mindfulness into my work with clients to help them slow down, notice what’s happening in the present moment, and respond with more compassion toward themselves. Together, we practice building awareness of thoughts and emotions without judgment, creating space for calm, clarity, and balance. Over time, this helps you feel more centered and capable of handling life’s challenges with greater ease.
