Family therapy and counseling in Modesto, CA

Hello my name is Sandra Moore and I have had the heart for helping others for as long as I can remember! I recall seeing my first client at the age of 22 and felt the passion I had to help others. I have an Associates degree in psychology, a Bachelors degree in psychology, a Masters degree in Social Work and I am Licensed by the Board of Behavioral Sciences. I love working with a variety of populations.

Fun fact: I'm a proud boy mom—my son and even our pup are boys! Living in a house full of boys has taught me flexibility, resilience, and a good sense of humor, so not much scares me.

I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT 123208. I worked as a teacher and decided to go back to school and continue my education, to enable me to work with families, couples and individuals in a therapeutic setting. My focus is family, marriage and couples counseling. I have experience working with families that have unconventional lifestyles. In addition, I have experience working with couples, teens, groups and children. I have worked with the school district as a mental health counselor, as well as conducted group therapy in all settings. I am trained in Gottman Method for Couples and Bariatric Assessment certified.

I believe that each individual has a purpose and that sometimes we need assistance in finding our purpose. Let me help you find your own purpose or regain focus on your life's path to feeling satisfied in the life you are living. I am available via online or in person and licensed in California and Arizona.

Life can feel unbearably heavy sometimes. Unjust, exhausting, overwhelming, and terrifying all at once. And asking for help in the middle of all of that takes more courage than most people give themselves credit for.

If you're here, you've already done something brave.

I'm Sara, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Associate Professional Clinical Counselor. My work is rooted in the belief that you are not broken. You are a person carrying real pain, and you deserve a space where you feel genuinely accepted, supported, and safe enough to actually exhale.

I enjoy working with individuals in the recovery community, first responders, and those who have experienced traumatic childhoods. I don't just talk the talk, I walk the walk.

I'm an open minded individual and welcome any topics in treatment

Helping people find joy and meaning in their lives is my biggest passion in my work. However, life has its difficulties, including painful experiences, and when you need help solving what is in the way of getting from one day to the next or pursuing dreams, I want to help you figure out what is happening and help you develop tools to empower you to manage what seemed impossible and to create the life you desire.

I have been a therapist for 52 years. Due to a long history with many types of people in many settings, I am able to work with a wide array of people. I am well known for my capacity to listen, my warmth, and my ability to connect. Gentle humor is an important part of my work and personality.

I genuinely like people, have always love to help ,

Will take my clients through the therapeutic process, with empathy and care for their experience in therapy to be a positive one.
