Therapist

Virtual & in-person • <1 mi away • 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.

Sara McDaniel

Therapist

Virtual • California


There's a version of getting through life that looks completely fine from the outside and feels exhausting on the inside. I work with teens, young adults, and adults who are carrying more than it shows: anxiety, the aftereffects of trauma, major life transitions, or relationship patterns that keep repeating in ways that are hard to explain. I have a particular focus on trauma and attachment wounds and work with many clients who've spent years managing symptoms without ever addressing what's underneath them. My practice is warm and genuinely collaborative. I'll show up as a real partner in your growth, not a distant presence behind a notepad.

Alecia Singer

Alecia Singer

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • San Francisco, CA


I’m a licensed therapist in San Francisco with over 15 years in private practice. I specialize in Eating disorders, body image and trauma and work primarily with adults who are exhausted by the cycle of restriction, compulsive eating, shame and self criticism and are ready for something to genuinely shift. My training includes, IFS, Somatic therapy, EMDR, CBT and Expressive Arts therapy, which means we will not only engage in supportive talk therapy, but also have real tools to work with. My clients often express that not only do they heal and find peace with food, disordered eating and body image, but they also become more able to feel and tolerate emotions and regulate moods, while building trust in their bodies and discover true hungers, desires and enhance creativity and vitality. This can lead to more ease and comfort in your own skin, with the potential of more meaningful work and healthy relationships.

Therapist

To be heard and understood is one of our most basic, fundamental human needs. Losses, life transitions, relationships, and even extended periods of stress can cause us to feel confused, overwhelmed, and even hopeless. You are not alone if you have found yourself struggling in any of these areas. My primary goal is to welcome you into a safe and collaborative space where personal growth can be fostered, and hope can begin.

Seeking help takes strength. Making the decision to reach out to a therapist is a courageous first step and you are one step closer to getting the judgment-free support you deserve.
