Supervised by Ashleigh Gore, LCSW-S

Hello! My name is Abigail (Abby) Moore and I’m so glad you’ve taken that first step towards healing. It can be challenging to take that first step and reach out for help whether it’s due to social stigma, family stigma, cost barrier, time constraint or other barriers, chances are it’s taken some bravery and fortitude for you to reach out. 

In our work together it’s important to me to emphasize you are not alone. Whatever you’re going through, big or small, recent or decades ago, there is hope for healing. My belief is that the move towards mental health counseling is rooted in our intense need for connection. As humans we have evolved in community. What separates us from other species is our ability to work together. I see therapy as the smallest unit of working together – that is, working with ourselves. From the inside out, we work to understand ourselves so that we can understand others. Understanding others so that we can participate meaningfully in the communities we find ourselves in. 

My approach draws on various disciplines, including humanistic approach, cognitive therapy and systemic theories. I am rooted in liberation, decolonization, anti-racism, and feminist theory. In order for our work to be effective and positive, we’ll focus on your strengths to move forward, circle back, retrace, and grow. Let’s get down into the nitty gritty to harness your inner – peace in a way that will stay with you for the long run. 

I got my bachelors in communication at Texas A&M and then wanted to expand my knowledge and grow, so I joined Teach for America. Learning about various barriers to education, I became interested in social work. I moved home to Texas and continued teaching high school while earning my masters degree from University of Houston. I continue to work full time as an elementary school counselor. I fill my free time with friends, family, sports, thrift shopping and snuggling with my dog. 

I would be honored to work with you. Please reach out to me at 512/201-4501, ext. 386 I look forward to hearing from you.
