Therapist

There is so much growing that we do in our teens & young adulthood (and our adulthood too!), whether we want to or not. I know how overwhelming it can be, especially with so many factors at play (culture, trauma, world events, etc). As your therapist, I’m here to support you through all this.

I am someone who:

  • Works with BIPOC, children of immigrants, LGBTQ+, & neurodivergent teens, young adults, adults, & those who are grieving
  • Is trauma informed, & community/justice oriented
  • Knows how the systems at play affect us daily & at a deeper unconscious level
  • Creates a safe space for you to explore the parts of your life that may feel too difficult to hold on your own

If you want any of the following, then I am the therapist for you:

  • Work through your relationships, life events, &/or grief using talk therapy & body-centered approaches
  • Process life events, ideas, feelings with thought provoking questions
  • Support in navigating relationships & your inner world in any capacity

Therapist

I’m direct, engaged, and client-driven—and I curse a lot in sessions. I work best with clients who’ve been through hell and are ready to grow and heal from those experiences. I believe therapy works best when there’s a strong foundational fit. If what you’ve read resonates, great—let’s explore working together; if it doesn’t, that’s just as important to know as well! I’m a trauma-informed EMDR therapist who works with childhood trauma, complex trauma (C-PTSD), depression, anxiety, and grief. I take an integrative approach, pulling from multiple modalities rather than forcing you into one box. I also incorporate creative expression into sessions—especially music—because sometimes words just don’t cut it.

Dr. Denise Moore

Dr. Denise Moore

Therapist

Virtual • California


I’m Dr. Denise Moore, LCSW, a therapist with more than 20 years of experience walking alongside children, teens, and adults on their healing journey. I earned my bachelor’s and master’s degrees from CSU Sacramento and completed my Doctor of Social Work at Loma Linda University. I’ve been licensed for over 18 years and have devoted my career to trauma-informed, relationship-centered care.

My practice, Root to Rise Therapy and Wellness, is built on the belief that when we understand the roots of our patterns, we can rise into healthier, more authentic ways of relating. I help clients explore attachment wounds, communication struggles, dating and relationship challenges, breakups, and self-esteem concerns. Together, we look at how early experiences shape your current relationships and sense of self, and we work toward confidence, clarity, and deeper connection.

I offer a warm, grounded, and supportive space for anyone seeking to heal old patterns, strengthen self-worth, and build relationships that feel secure, honest, and aligned.
