"Difficult Roads Often Lead to Beautiful Destinations"

Welcome

Are you stressed, overwhelmed, unmotivated, defeated, lost or confused?

Does it seem everyone has this life thing figured out except for you?

Are you struggling with finding a reason to smile through all the struggles?

Have you tried to solve the problems in your life on your own and realized you need help from someone else?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you have made the right choice by being here. I know seeking help can be hard. You've likely been debating seeking help for months, if not years, but I'm so glad you have taken the courageous step of being here.

Together I can work to help equip you with the necessary tools to help you face and overcome your challenges. Whether you're struggling with anxiety and depression, life transitions (grief, divorce, co-parenting, loss of job, new mother), or low self-esteem, it is important that you know you don't have to be alone in this journey. I have the experience to help you achieve your goals, overcome these struggles, and live a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

I understand no two individuals are the same, and I tailor our sessions together to address challenges unique to you. I will work together to understand the root cause of your struggles and address them with long-lasting strategies, helping you get closer to the life you've always wanted.


If you're ready to work towards the life you've always wanted, I'm ready when you are. Contact me today and let's get to work.

"As a black man experiencing so much at the time, I had no answers or sense of self. Dennareo challenged me in a way where I didn't feel judged but he also held me accountable so that I could eventually do the same. I HIGHLY recommend him as a therapist to any man currently running away from himself like I was"

-Sherrida and Andre (Couple's Therapy)

"I am incredibly grateful for the support my dad received from Ms.Natashia Moore during an incredibly difficult time. After my dad suffered a stroke, he was not only facing physical recovery, but also the emotional strain of going through a breakup. Ms. Moore was not only professional and knowledgeable, but also compassionate and patient, taking the time to understand the complexities of his situation.What stood out the most was their ability to balance both his physical rehabilitation and emotional well-being. They helped him navigate feelings of loss and isolation from the breakup, while also guiding him through the challenges of stroke recovery. The therapist provided practical strategies for coping with his emotions and helped him build resilience, which was crucial for his mental and emotional health during such a tough period. Thanks to Ms Moore’s expertise and unwavering support, my dad made significant progress both mentally and emotionally. We could see a positive difference in his outlook on life and his overall well-being. I would highly recommend Ms.Natashia Moore to anyone going through a difficult recovery or emotional crisis—there’s no doubt they played a huge role in my dad's healing journey."
