Everrett Moore, PhD

I believe that life is a forever process of learning to better relate to ourselves, other people, and the environments we find ourselves in.  As we engage in this process, we tend to experience many emotions and events, some joyful, happy, and cherished, some hurtful, sad, and painful. As a therapist, I help individuals purposefully and fully engage in the process of life by meeting them where they are and assisting them in exploring and improving how they relate to themselves and those around them. Through a collaborative and integrative process, I hope to show you that change is possible. If you think that I can be of help to you, please give me a call.

I completed my PhD in Clinical Psychology at the University of North Texas and predoctoral internship in a community mental health clinic in St. Paul, Minnesota.  Through these generalist experiences, I have learned to use many modalities and interventions to work with clients with a range of difficulties, including but not limited to: depression, anxiety, trauma, problematic substance use, behavioral issues, difficulties in the family, and severe mood disturbances. I also have had the pleasure of working with children, adolescents, teenagers, adults, and older adults in a range of contexts.

I strongly believe that a therapeutic relationship operates best in an environment of mutual respect, care, and commitment, a notion well supported by research on psychotherapy outcomes. To that end, I will always strive to maintain an environment in which people’s intersecting identities will be valued and respected. By creating an environment based on these values, I hope that you will find yourself validated and ready to begin the work of healing.

Fun Tidbit?: I would describe myself as a huge nerd, especially when it comes to video games and anime communities. When I have a bit of free time, you’ll usually see me playing a game of some sort.

Populations Served
  • People experiencing emotional distress and mood disturbances

  • People experiencing general anxiety, social anxiety, or worry about life transitions
  • People struggling with past and recent trauma
  • People experiencing interpersonal difficulties
My Approach to Therapy

My treatment approach is integrative and collaborative. This means that I work closely with the client to identify things they would like to work on. We then hone in on interventions that best meet your needs through the range of methodologies that I have trained in,including psychodynamic approaches, humanistic approaches, and cognitive behavioral therapy, cognitive processing therapy, and values-oriented approaches. My style in the room tends to be more conversational and free flowing, with just about any topic being open to exploration. In particular, I focus on the dynamic process unfolding between myself and the client in order to steer us towards a more healing therapeutic relationship.

What You Can Expect

Expect respect, dignity, and to be empowered in the validity of your experience. I believe that the process of therapy is incredibly challenging as we are often discussing topics that you may not readily explore. However, this process can be incredibly rewarding as there is the potential of you relating to who you are, who you were, and who you want to be in a much more complete and intentional way. I wholeheartedly believe that this change is possible, and I plan to work with you every step of the way.

Training and Experience
  • My doctoral training program was a generalist program in which I received experience treating a wide range of concerns in multiple modalities, including individual, group, and couples therapy as well as psychological testing and assessment. I also regularly served as instructor of record for several college-level psychology courses. 
  • I completed my predoctoral internship at Natalis Counseling and Psychological Solutions, an outpatient community clinic in St. Paul, Minnesota. Through this clinic, I received general experience in a wide range of client presentations as well as in the supervision of mental health trainees. 
  • I have worked in multiple placements throughout my training, notably the Dallas Veterans Affairs Hospital, Irving Family Advocacy Center (working with children and adults in their victims services programming), a training clinic on a college campus, a rural outreach program, and a private practice.
Research

My primary research interest lies in the understanding and encouragement of constructive conversations on race and other identities, often known as difficult dialogues. I have also engaged in a number of other research contexts on topics such as critical applications of cognitive science, recognition of prejudices, exploration of stereotypes, and training on microaggressions. Overall, my research is dedicated to social justice and equity within our communities, in the hope that I may have some small part improving how we relate to one another with respect and recognition of our differences.
