Thomas Moore

Thomas Moore

Therapist

Virtual • Colorado


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.

My name is Teresa Hernandez and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I have 20+ years working with Mental Health and Substance Abuse challenges.

I love working with adults and youth ages 11-80. I have worked with many modalities such DBT, CBT, Anger Management, Crisis intervention, Suicide Prevention, and Substance Abuse. I've worked with clients from many walks of life and with varied needs.

I earned my Master's Degree in Social Work at the University of Wyoming. Wyoming is my home state. It is filled with wildlife and the worst snow you can image. I moved to Colorado in 2010 to continue my quest for helping others. Many years ago, someone helped me and I having been giving back for more than 20+ years. Together, we will develop a comprehensive plan so that you can get the tools you need to help you reach your goals. It takes a lot of courage to reach out for help and for that I appreciate you. Please contact me to see if we're a good fit.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Colorado


As a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-BC), I bring a compassionate, collaborative, and evidence-based approach to mental health care. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing and hold active licensure in Colorado, where I practice both in-person and via telehealth.

My clinical background spans psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and supportive therapy for individuals across the lifespan. I have extensive experience treating depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma-related disorders, substance use disorder, and women’s mental health concerns, including perinatal and perimenopausal transitions.

Clients can expect a nonjudgmental and patient-centered environment, where treatment decisions are made together. I believe mental health care is most effective when it is personalized, transparent, and rooted in trust. My goal is to help clients achieve lasting stability and improved quality of life through thoughtful medication management, supportive dialogue, and coordination of care.

Stacia McNeely

Stacia McNeely

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • Parker, CO


I’m a psychiatric nurse practitioner who works from the belief that people are not broken—and that many of the struggles we call “mental illness” make sense when we look at trauma, context, and lived experience. I’m especially attuned to the ways mental health systems, stigma, and labels can unintentionally cause harm, and I aim to practice in a way that feels respectful, collaborative, and deeply human.

My approach is unconventional and trauma-informed, influenced by perspectives like those of Gabor Maté, which emphasize compassion, curiosity, and understanding symptoms as meaningful responses rather than defects. I do not believe in rushing to pathologize the human experience. As Joni Mitchell once reflected about depression, sometimes what we’re feeling is not an illness to be fixed, but a signal—an honest response to pain, loss, or a world that has not been kind.

Erin McMahon

Erin McMahon

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Colorado


Hi, I’m Erin McMahon, a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (DNP, PMHNP-BC) providing telehealth care across Colorado. I focus on outpatient medication management for adults navigating anxiety, depression and other mood disorders, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia spectrum disorders, and women’s mental health.

Before becoming a psychiatric NP, I spent more than a decade as a nurse in emergency and critical care, along with inpatient psychiatric experience — so I bring a steady, grounded presence, even when things feel complicated. My care is rooted in shared decision making: you’re an active partner in your treatment, not just a recipient of it. I take time to understand not only your symptoms, but your history, your life, and what matters most to you before we talk about next steps. I’m trauma-aware, identity-affirming, and comfortable with complexity, and I offer culturally humble care to clients of all identities and backgrounds, including LGBTQIA+ individuals.

I have a particular soft spot for high achievers, eldest daughters, and the people who quietly hold everything together for everyone else. Your first visit is about getting to know you — not rushing to a diagnosis or a prescription. We’ll talk about what brought you in and what you’re hoping for, and my goal is for you to leave feeling genuinely listened to, with a clearer sense of what working together might look like. I’m not your typical provider, and I tend to attract clients who aren’t looking for typical care.
