COLLABORATION & TRUST

I'm so happy you've chosen to stop in here.  Let me tell you a little about myself...

I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist with a practice in Pasadena, California.  But I'm not here to address only marriage and family issues, although these are included.  The purpose of your visit with me will be established collaboratively with you, in an environment of trust and openness. 

Therapy is helpful for clarfying goals and desires, figuring out what might need changing, and also noticing what's okay to just leave alone.  We can discover who you want to be, and what is standing in the way of you being that person.  We will see that, although it often doesn't feel like it, you make sense.   I believe that some of our deepest despair originates with a belief that what we think, feel, and do, is senseless and incomprehensible.  It's not uncommon to hear people say, "I don't know why I did that. "  "I don't want to be this way, but I am."  "I feel like I don't fit...with my vision of myself, the expectations of my partner, my responsibility to my kids, what I've chosen for my work life, etc."  All of this can be made clear when issues, ideas, beliefs, history, and choices are seen in the light of open acceptance and clear thinking.  We can figure it out. 

This website is under construction, so check back later to see what's new.  In the meantime you can reach me at (626) 793-1078. I look forward to hearing from you.

IIf I'm new to you, and your  first contact with me is online: I would be pleased to hear from you! Please let me know what your needs and questions are, and I will be more than happy to help.  You can also reach me at emily@emilymoore.com or emooremft@sbcglobal.net.
