Rob Moore

LCSW (he/él)

Biography:

When survival demands the impossible, we try to meet the demand anyway. Trauma removes our ability to be present and convinces us we are broken. Therapy gives us space to confront the blocks—intellectual, emotional, existential—that keep us feeling fragmented. Our work isn’t about fixing the past—it’s about integrating it into who we are. Together, we witness what once had to be endured alone, and learn to honor the adaptive strategies you developed to survive overwhelming experiences, even when those strategies later create disconnection or pain.

Rob works with individuals carrying the burden of complex and early-life trauma. His approach is direct, grounded in curiosity, and integrates psychodynamic insight with a collaborative, relational presence. His background in teaching and social services informed a perspective on how systems of meaning and power shape our identity and influence our thought processes. Sessions focus on understanding yourself more clearly, feeling more fully, and exploring the deep structures—cultural, personal, inherited—that give your life meaning.

You’ll usually find him outside in warm weather—working on conservation projects or playing soccer—and inside hibernating with video games when it’s cold. His clinical interests include identity, meaning-making, and long-term trauma recovery.
