Dr. Kirsten Moore
If you are struggling with anxiety, depressed mood or mood swings, school difficulties, possible learning disorders, ADHD, anger, attention deficit, impulsivity, parenting difficulties, trauma, abuse, self-harming, or suicidality, I would like to help. These are my areas of expertise. Please call and schedule a visit. We will meet and discuss your history, and I'll recommend a treatment plan that can work for you, with me or whomever I believe would be best to meet your needs. My specialties include psychological assessment testing, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and psychotherapy. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you.
