About
My work centers on offering a space to explore inner experience, uncover meaning, and engage deeper processes of growth that support authentic self-expression, relational healing, personal transformation, and deeper connection.
Dr. Brenna Moore works with individuals and couples navigating relationship distress, life transitions, identity development, and patterns rooted in attachment and family-of-origin experiences. She has a particular interest in helping clients better understand their emotional worlds, strengthen communication, and develop more secure, fulfilling relationships. Dr. Moore works especially well with clients seeking an insight-oriented therapeutic process to deepen self-understanding, explore their internal worlds, and examine how unconscious patterns, emotional defenses, and relational dynamics shape their experiences.
Dr. Moore’s clinical approach is integrative and attachment-focused, informed by principles from depth and transpersonal psychology. She draws primarily from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS), while incorporating somatic and mindfulness-based interventions. Her work emphasizes awareness, meaning-making, and the integration of emotional, relational, and embodied processes. She collaborates closely with clients to identify protective patterns, access deeper layers of emotion and self-understanding, and foster greater self-compassion, agency, and connection.
Her therapeutic training spans diverse clinical settings, including Veteran Affairs hospitals, academic hospitals, community counseling centers, university counseling centers, and K–12 schools. She has received specialty training in individual and couple therapy, trauma-focused therapies, addiction treatment, women’s issues, and health psychology, informing a flexible, context-sensitive, and whole-person approach to care.
Committed to ongoing professional growth, Dr. Moore continues to deepen her expertise through advanced training in relational, systemic, and trauma-informed modalities. Most recently, she completed Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFCT) Level 1 and Level 2 trainings and Internal Family Systems (IFS) Level 1 certification. She also pursues training in approaches that support nervous system regulation, embodied processing, and integrative healing, allowing her work to remain responsive to both conscious insight and deeper, implicit layers of experience.
Dr. Moore values creating a therapeutic space that feels warm, thoughtful, and non-judgmental. She is attentive to the ways culture, identity, and relational context shape emotional experience and approaches therapy with curiosity, respect, and a belief in clients’ innate capacity for growth, transformation, and healing.
