About Atiya Moore
Atiya Moore is a seasoned clinician with 20 years of experience working across a range of behavioral health settings. She holds an MD (Medical Doctor) and LCSW-C (licensed clinical social worker) credential, which combine clinical training with specialized social work practice. Over two decades she has partnered with individuals facing mental and emotional health challenges, trauma recovery, and sexual health recovery, bringing a steady, experienced presence to complex cases.
Her practice emphasizes trauma that is chronic, historical, multi-generational, community-based, or interpersonal in origin. She helps clients move past patterns of victim mentality, self-doubt, and self-sabotage that often block progress, applying both structured and experiential methods to support meaningful change. Her approach blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) with mindfulness and motivational interviewing, and she integrates somatic practices, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) when appropriate.
Atiya also explores creative, non-traditional tools such as energy management and therapeutic gardening when they fit a client’s goals and lifestyle. She frames therapeutic work as a collaborative process, supporting clients who are ready to do personal work and manifest the changes they seek. Individuals ready to begin that process can expect practical strategies, compassionate guidance, and tailored interventions from her practice.
