Mary Saunders Moore, MA, LMFT, ACC

As a licensed psychotherapist (Licensed Marriage , Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT)) providing telehealth in California, I work with adults, especially high-achieving women, who are navigating grief, anxiety, burnout, trauma, and life transitions that leave you questioning everything. Whether you're new to therapy or returning after a break, I'll meet you where you are. My approach is approachable, warm, somatic, and trauma-informed. This means we work with both your mind and body to help you feel better, not just manage better. As we begin, I'll ask questions to understand what's bringing you in, what's felt hard, and what you're hoping for. Together, we'll begin to identify what healing or growth looks like for you, whether that's relief from anxiety, working through grief, or simply feeling more like yourself again. I work to create a space that is warm, honest, and grounded, where you can say the thing you haven't been able to say anywhere else. By the end of our first session, you'll have a clearer sense of how I work and whether we're a good fit, because the right relationship is the foundation everything else is built on.

I work with high-achieving adults, especially women, moving through grief, anxiety, burnout, trauma, and major life transitions. My approach combines AEDP, somatic, and IFS-informed work, so we’re not just managing symptoms; we’re working with the full pattern underneath them. For a lot of my clients, especially high-achieving women used to handling things themselves, asking for help can feel like an admission of failure. It isn’t. Needing support isn’t a flaw in your competence; it’s a sign you’re paying attention to something real. The people who do best in therapy are usually the ones who’ve been carrying the most on their own for the longest.
