Sarah Moore (she/her)

Master of Social Work (qualifying)

I'm currently a student in the Master of Social Work program at Wilfrid Laurier University and have an Honours Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, a Post-Graduate Diploma in Addiction Studies, certificates in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and Concurrent Disorders, as well as specific education in Trauma.

As a child growing up in a home with parents who struggled with problematic substance use, I experienced poverty, neglect, and abandonment and wasn’t able to have my emotional needs for love and belonging met. This resulted in low self-worth, anxiety, depression, unhealthy relationships, and unhealthy cyclical patterns in my life. However, with the help of therapy and faith, I have overcome these issues and am excited to support you in doing the same.

My goals in supporting you include working from an empathetic, warm, compassionate, and curious space as I learn what it is like to be in your shoes. I believe that our therapeutic relationship is the best predictor of change and healing, and I work hard to create a safe, non-judgmental space for you to explore your feelings. My goal is to foster a therapeutic relationship that is sensitive, respectful, full of openness and self-awareness. I will listen, support, encourage and challenge you as we work collaboratively to reach your goals.

​I'm passionate about healthy living and you will often find me out walking my rescue doggos, hiking new trails, biking, or at the gym. I love cooking and trying out new recipes. In my spare time, I love reading a good fiction novel or spending time at the beach. I love to laugh and never take myself too seriously!

Thanks for taking the time to read a bit more about me and how I might be able to support you on your journey.
