About me
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Portland, Oregon since 2012. I work with individuals on a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, gender and sexuality, life transitions, stress management, and relationship matters. I use empathy, compassion, and openness to help my client's feel comfortable and confident in their decision to address difficulties in their lives and create fulfilling paths for the future.
I believe that counseling is most effective when the client and therapist work together to identify strengths and areas of opportunity in an effort to create a richer life experience for the client. I believe that it is important to use treatments and techniques that have been carefully researched and found effective, so I take an evidence-based approach to therapy.
I have in-depth training in cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy, and experience using mindfulness, solution-focused therapy, and motivational interviewing. I pull from each of these domains to create a therapy experience that is tailored to the needs of each individual I work with.
I hold a B.A. in Psychology from Arizona State University and an M.A. in Counseling Psychology from Pacific University. I have specialized training in working with LGBTQ individuals and in trauma-informed care. I have varied experience including work with youth and adults, mandated clients, community mental health, and private practice.
I look forward to working with you!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Alyssa Moore. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Alyssa is patient and kind! She always knows what to say and can always offer another perspective in difficult situations or when I am looking too narrowly. She rocks!

Alyssa has helped me control and manage my anxiety in many ways. In 5 months I've noticed a huge change in how certain situations effect me and how I react to them. It's been extremely helpful talking to her.

Counseling with Alyssa has been a huge help to my mental health. She is very knowledgeable in her field and sends me links to articles and research from reputable, peer-reviewed sources pertaining to my specific issues. She has a quick response time and always checks in if I go MIA. She's been an excellent counselor for me and I absolutely recommend her.
