Clinicians

Moore Mental Health & Behavioral Services, PLLC has clinicians at all levels of experience and training. Our Licensed Psychologists are seasoned professionals with a wide array of expertise, training, and experiences that are used to provide quality services to clients and direct supervision to pre-licensed clinicians as well as those that are licensed at the master-level, who are often referred to as Licensed Psychological Associates. Below is a link from the Texas State Board of Examiners of Psychologists discussing in detail the differences in training and education of Licensed Psychological Associates vs. Licensed Psychologists.

https://www.bhec.texas.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/LPA-brochure_BHEC.pdf

Licensed Psychologist (LP) are clinicians with doctoral degrees (typically PhD or PsyD) in psychology and have passed a series of exams and completed a minimum of 3,500 hours of supervised experience, with at least 1,750 hours having been received in a formal internship within a doctoral program and at least 1,750 hours received following conferral of a doctoral degree. Licensed Psychologists can practice independently.

Licensed Psychological Associates (LPA) are clinicians with master degrees in psychology and have passed a series of exams, completed six (6) semester credit hours of practicum, internship, or other structured experience within the graduate degree program, while under the supervision of a licensed psychologist. It should be noted that there are some LPA’s who can function “independently,” meaning without the supervision of a psychologist. Those who can do so will have the wording “independent practice” will be indicated and will have supporting documentation. A minimum of 3,000 hours of post-graduate degree supervised experience is required for “independent practice.”

Pre-Doctoral Interns are clinicians who have finished all the of their doctoral course work and are completing their first of two years (typically 2000 hours each year) of full-time supervised experience.  They are supervised by a Licensed Psychologist.

Post-Doctoral Residents are clinicians with doctoral degrees (typically PhD or PsyD) in psychology and are in the process of passing a series of exams and received one year (typically 2000 hours) of full-time supervised experienced during their doctoral program.  They are supervised by Licensed Psychologists.

Provisionally Licensed Psychologists (PLP) are clinicians with doctoral degrees (typically PhD or PsyD) in psychology and who have completed their doctoral program and have already passed their state licensure exam. They are usually awaiting to receive their full licensure (once applied for) or may be in the process of completing their post-doctoral residency.

Licensed Specialist in School Psychology (LSSP) is a licensed professional who is able to provide school psychological services in Texas public schools. The requirements for the LSSP credential includes the completion of a graduate degree in school psychology or closely related field and a passing score on the national exam for school psychology. In Texas, the title of School Psychologist is limited to those licensed psychologists with a doctorate in school psychology.

“Dr. Moore is professional yet she makes her client feel comfortable and treats you with dignity.”
I am so looking forward to working with you! I feel so blessed to have found you."
It seemed so simple, your explanation of a human need for gratification. You were right on point to explain my need for daily human contact to provide that gratification. It made so much sense to me on a deep level, like something I knew, but needed you to tell me in just the way you did. I made certain to put getting out each day my priority. I feel calmer already.
"Dr. Moore I felt so much better after speaking with you. I did not expect to get such practical homework the first session! I was truly overjoyed."
“[I am now] able to use self talk exercises to help with anxieties.”
“I have learned how to set smaller more meaningful goals that are easier to accomplish. I also have gained insight and learned how to be more assertive and not always trying to please everyone.”
“I am not being as hard on myself. Dr. Moore is helping me realize that not everything is my fault, and my partner isn't perfect. Also, she has challenged me to make sure I have some consistency in my life and stick to doing activities I love once or twice a week.”
“My daughter was given tools by Dr. Moore that are instrumental in her everyday life. The entire family has benefited from Dr.Moore giving effective counseling and tools to aid in better communication.”
“[Best part of counseling with Dr. Moore] reviewing your goals and having the anxiety rating scale that shows how you have improved or not. I found it quite useful to have something tangible to use to compare and contrast how I was doing within my therapy. I also like the cognitive worksheets we used from time to time.”
“The best part(s) [with Dr. Moore] are the extremely detailed evaluations, the care and attention for finding out needed information to develop a sound evaluation, traveling to the facility to complete evaluations, follow up to ensure the evaluations have been received, etc.”
“I felt very comfortable and cared for [with Dr. Moore].”
“[Best part of counseling with Dr. Moore] Being available on weekends. I really like Dr. Moore's voice. It is soothing. And I feel like she is really listening to me.”
“[Best part of counseling with Dr. Moore] Allowing the parent or parents to be hands on and a part of the counseling process was a great part of the growth my daughter experienced. The Family as a whole benefited from the techniques and tools that were provided.”
“Dr. Moore is the best.”
“Dr. Moore is amazing.”
“I was quite pleased with having a female young therapist ( Dr. Moore ) to work with versus an older male of a different ethnic background who could not relate to me as a female. I also felt that she was knowledgeable in her area of expertise and she was current in developing her method of treatment of her clients. She apparently keeps up with her Continuing education and the most current ways to approach treatment. I definitely would refer a friend or any person that would ask me for a name of a therapist.”
