Cassandra Moore
Hello and welcome to BetterHelp! I am a Licensed Master's Level graduate of Auburn University at Montgomery (AUM). I have worked with individuals (adolescents and adults), couples, and families in several different non-clinical and clinical settings including residential and intensive outpatient in both non-profit and private facilities. My specialties include treating individuals with communication issues, intimacy-related issues, depression, stress and anxiety, low self-esteem, ADD/ADHD, family conflict, relationship issues, death of a loved one, substance use/abuse. As your therapist, we go through your journey together to decrease and/or eliminate distress of your mind and within your relationships through "talk therapy". My approach to your treatment depends on your goals for therapy and the issue(s) that you present. At times, we delve in your family background and how you were raised as a child and into your past relationships as I have found that what's going on presently is a direct result of unresolved issues from the past. At other times, there is just a need to find a solution and/or come to a resolution of an issue. I utilize a few treatment modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT). I look forward to working with you and helping you achieve your goals!

Sabrina Shaw
Hello and welcome. My name is Sabrina, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). While I work with individuals, couples, and families, my training is rooted in a relational approach to therapy. I believe our relationships—with partners, family members, friends, and even ourselves—play a powerful role in shaping our experiences, emotions, and patterns of behavior. Together, we can explore those patterns, strengthen relationships, and create meaningful change. I work with adults, adolescents, couples, and families facing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, communication difficulties, family conflict, trauma, grief and loss, life transitions, self-esteem concerns, emotional regulation, and personal growth. I also have experience working with individuals navigating recovery, women facing major life changes, adolescents and young adults, and those struggling with the impact of difficult family dynamics. Before becoming a therapist, I spent years working in Emergency Medical Services, where I gained firsthand experience supporting people through crisis, trauma, loss, and some of life's most difficult moments. That background continues to inform my work today, allowing me to approach clients with both compassion and practical understanding. I have a particular appreciation for the unique challenges faced by first responders, healthcare professionals, caregivers, and others working in high-stress helping professions. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs. I draw from evidence-based approaches while recognizing that no two people are the same. I strive to create a space where clients feel safe, respected, and understood while also being encouraged to challenge unhelpful patterns and move toward their goals. Whether you are facing a specific challenge, feeling stuck in recurring patterns, experiencing difficulties in your relationships, or simply looking for support and personal growth, therapy can provide an opportunity to gain insight, build resilience, and develop healthier ways of coping and connecting. Taking the first step toward change can be difficult, but you don't have to do it alone. I would be honored to support you on your journey toward healing, growth, and stronger relationships.
Margaret Silva
Hello! I’m Margaret Silva, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with resilience, creativity, and confidence. I believe that therapy should be as dynamic and unique as the people I work with. Rather than just sitting and talking, my practice often incorporates creative, activity-based interventions—such as art, games, and media—to make the therapeutic process engaging, accessible, and deeply meaningful. I specialize in helping clients build vital social-emotional skills, strengthen emotional regulation, and develop practical problem-solving strategies for everyday life. I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationship issues, family issues, behavioral challenges, and life transitions. My goal is to create a safe, collaborative, and uplifting space where you (or your child) feel truly heard, supported, and empowered to grow.
