🌄 A Tale of Two States: From Colorado to Texas

I'm a proud product of two distinct states: I spent my formative years growing up in Colorado before a major shift landed me in Pflugerville, Texas, as a high school junior.

That move—especially navigating a new culture and community during those challenging teenage years—was a profound adjustment period. It was this early, personal experience with transition and change that fundamentally shaped my path and inspired me to choose counseling as my career. Now, I carry the influence of both states with me.

I've been in private practice for 20+ years. I treat teens and adults.I specialize in Marriage and Family concerns, addiction, eating disorders and Trauma/PTSD. I collaborate with clients on what will be useful to them to help clear what's getting in their way.

Hello! I specialize in supporting teenagers and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, relational wounds and trauma. My goal is to provide a safe and welcoming space for healing and growth. I am passionate about meeting you where you are and empowering you to take the next step towards reaching your goals.

True North vs Magnetic North

Magnetic North:

The places in life that we are drawn to naturally based on our upbringing, experiences, personality, strengths, weaknesses, our victories and our defeats. This is what I refer to as "Magnetic North."

True North:

The places where we would like to be in life, but obstacles are in the way of us arriving at our destiny. Our potential for a better life is what I refer to as "True North.'

Hello, I'm Liz! I have over 5 years of experience working inpatient, outpatient, and varying levels of severity. I enjoy getting to know people and be an extra ear to their troubles. I can be sarcastic at times, and consider myself a person talking to people!

I’m Thomas Moore, LPCC, a licensed professional clinical counselor providing therapy for individuals navigating anxiety, trauma, emotional overwhelm, identity development, and complex relational patterns. Many of the people I work with feel stuck in repeating cycles such as overthinking, people pleasing, emotional shutdown, intense reactions, or difficulty maintaining stable relationships even when they logically understand what they should do. My goal is to help you translate insight into real change.

My approach is structured and compassionate. I integrate evidence based methods including cognitive restructuring, emotional regulation training, interpersonal effectiveness skills, and trauma informed therapy. Sessions focus on understanding why your brain reacts the way it does and building practical tools you can actually use outside the therapy room. This is not only about talking through problems but learning how to respond differently when they show up in real life.

I work well with clients who want more than passive support and are ready to build skills, increase self awareness, and interrupt patterns that no longer serve them.

What clients should know before starting

Therapy with me is collaborative and active and you will learn strategies rather than only venting. We will work on understanding both the emotional and neurological side of your reactions. Sessions focus on present day functioning while also addressing past experiences that still affect you. I may gently challenge patterns when it supports growth while maintaining a supportive and respectful space. Progress often comes from small repeated changes rather than sudden breakthroughs.

If you are looking for therapy that combines validation with practical change, we will likely work well together.

I am so glad you're here! Reaching out for support takes courage, and I'm honored to be a part of that next step. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado, as well as a wife, mom and rancher with deep roots in agriculture. I believe counseling should feel welcoming, supportive and genuine. My background and education in grief, trauma, and experiential equine-assisted practice has shaped a grounded, connection-focused style that helps people feel seen, supported and understood to create meaningful changes with hope for what's ahead.

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and a Master's degree in Social Work. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), with extensive experience in both community settings and private practice. I specialize in supporting women through the unique challenges they face in life. I offer a compassionate, empathetic approach to help women navigate anxiety, depression, struggles with identity, and the journey toward recognizing their self-worth.

From a young age, I’ve been drawn to people who don’t look, sound, or live like me. I believe the human story is one of the most powerful and inspiring elements of life; and I believe sharing our stories with others is medicine to both listener and teller. Curiosity is a big part of why I became a therapist. Glad Acres is named after the street my grandmother lived on. Her home was a safe and hospitable abode for many people to share their stories, and I seek to emulate the same in the therapy room.

Outside of work, you can find me on my yoga mat, outside on a walk, deep in a craft project, or nursing a good cup of coffee. Music and shows have always been where I go to feel, process, and connect with myself and others. I've also had the opportunity to travel to Greece to work with women who survived trafficking, an experience that shaped how I understand resilience and what it means to help someone reclaim their story.

I've been in therapy myself for 13 years, and I know how exhausting it can be to talk in circles; understanding why you feel something and still feeling stuck in your body. That's why I bring somatic, nervous-system-focused work like EMDR into my practice: healing isn't just intellectual, it's felt.

I love working with people ready to do that inner work: a little nervous maybe, open to being gently challenged, showing up not perfectly, but consistently and with curiosity. Therapy is challenging, and I've seen its rewards in my own life, and in the lives of the people I've had the privilege to sit with. I'd be honored to walk alongside you throughout some of your journey.

If any of this lands for you, I’d love to connect!

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of experience supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds. I’ve worked extensively with clients navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, and military and Veteran-related concerns, as well as a wide range of life challenges. These include relationship and family conflict, parenting stress, career transitions and workplace challenges, financial stress, grief and loss, identity and self-esteem concerns, major life changes, caregiving stress, burnout, and adjusting to new roles or stages of life such as pregnancy, postpartum, or empty nesting. I also have experience supporting individuals managing mood disorders, family-of-origin dynamics.

What I want you to know about me as a therapist is that I learn from and alongside the people I work with. Curiosity is vital to my work. As a person, I value storytelling of all kinds, be it through conversation or creative outlets (like theatre, art, music, etc.). As someone who spent much of my life on a stage, I show up in therapy as a dynamic collaborator. Regardless of your age or perspective, I want to work with you and what is important to you to provide the best care I can.
