Hello! My name is Grace Moore and I am an LPC in the State of Missouri. Previously, I have worked in private practice, as well as a nonprofit that specialized in care for clients who have experienced a level of trauma. I specialize in identity and trauma as well as anxiety and depression. I enjoy empowering my clients to get in touch with who they are and who they want to be. My hope for my clients is that I can help them identify their goals and take action in making positive change in their lives.

I'm a therapist with extensive experience supporting individuals and families through life's challenges. From young adults navigating identity and purpose to older adults facing aging, loss, and end-of-life concerns.I specialize in helping people work through depression, anxiety, stress, and relationship difficulties. My focus areas include communication challenges, grief, adjustment issues, First Responder operational stress, attachment patterns, and family dynamics. Additionally, I work with individuals managing chronic illness, caregiver stress, workplace challenges, and addiction-related concerns.

Welcome! I am so happy you have taken the first step to healing. My name is Dzenana and I work with clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, life transitions, stress, grief/loss, emotion regulation, suicidal ideation, and trauma. My master's is from University of Missouri-Kansas City. I have worked as a school counselor for 11 years before opening my own private practice. That gave me the opportunity to work not just with children, but also with parents as they navigate life stressors and raise their kids. My varied life experiences allow me to connect meaningfully with people to foster their growth. Whether you are struggling with deep past events or current daily life stress, I can work with you. If you are hesitant, give me just one hour. Let's get started!

I have twenty-three years of experience conducting psychological assessments and providing individual, couples, and group therapy for a variety of psychiatric conditions and psychosocial impainnents.

I am proud to work with fellow healthcare professionals, individuals from different cultural backgrounds, individuals in the LGBTQ+ community, and anyone who is new to therapy or has tried therapy before but without success. I believe in meeting clients where they are. I view my job as being your guide to better manage symptoms that represent barriers to you moving forward in your life, following a path determined by your personal values.

Taking the first step toward support can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to face life’s challenges alone. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I offer a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where children, adolescents, and adults feel heard, understood, and empowered. I help clients address anxiety, depression, stress, behavioral concerns, self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship difficulties. I tailor care to each person’s needs and support confidence, coping, growth, and resilience.

I get to know each client individually, so we can work collaboratively to come up with goals that we work toward at your pace, ebbing and flowing as your needs change. My clinical experience has included intensive in-home crisis stabilization therapy, complex trauma treatment, solution-focused brief therapy, and treatment of dual-diagnoses.

I moved to St. Louis, MO from Tampa, FL in 2019 to study Social Work at Washington University, and chose to make a home here with my spouse, child, and pets. I spend most of my leisure time cooking, gardening, reading, hiking, and going on crafting sprees. I also love to travel away from home, in search of grand museums and new foods.
