I’m a licensed professional counselor and the owner of Moran Mental Health Counseling, PLLC, where I provide individualized, evidence-based care to support clients in their recovery journeys. In addition to my private practice work, I also currently serve in the Partial Hospitalization (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient (IOP) programs at Esperanza Eating Disorders Center. These experiences allow me to bring a depth of clinical knowledge and real-world understanding into my work with clients and families in private practice. My work is rooted in supporting clients struggling with eating disorders and co-occurring anxiety, depression, OCD, and trauma. I help clients and their families build practical coping skills, strengthen self-awareness, and reconnect with their values, while supporting them in applying these skills to real-life challenges and navigating difficult emotions and relationships. My approach in individual therapy is straightforward and supportive, creating a space where you feel understood while learning to face challenges, make values-based choices, and take steps toward your goals. I earned my B.A. in Psychology and Criminal Justice, with a minor in Sociology, from The University of the Incarnate Word. I went on to earn my M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from The University of Texas at San Antonio, where I gained diverse clinical experience through internships in inpatient, PHP, IOP, and outpatient settings. During my training, I worked with children and adolescents at Clarity Child Guidance Center in both inpatient and outpatient programs. I also provided individual therapy to young adults at UIW Behavioral Health Services, supporting clients through a wide range of mental health concerns. In my work, I often draw from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Temperament Based Therapy with Supports (TBT-S), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). I believe in meeting clients where they are, fostering self-compassion, and helping them develop the skills necessary for lasting change.
