Meet The MoonChild Team: Therapy That Feels Human

At MoonChild Counseling, we believe healing doesn’t have to be clinical, cold, or one-size-fits-all. We create a warm, space for women and teens to reconnect with themselves, process life’s transitions, and reclaim a sense of safety in their bodies and minds. Whether you’re navigating burnout, breakups, trauma, or the “becoming” era of your life, our somatic, trauma-informed therapy meets you where you are with compassion, depth, and intentional care.

Supporting You Through Burnout, Breakups, and Becoming

Our therapy combines somatic practices, trauma-informed techniques, and evidence-based methods like CBT and EMDR to address both the mind and body. We honor the subtle messages of your nervous system, guide you in processing emotions safely, and provide tools to navigate life’s challenges with confidence. At Moonchild Counseling, therapy isn’t about fixing what’s “broken”—it’s about reconnecting with who you truly are.
