Hi, I'm Derik Moore, LCSW. I worked as an outpatient psychotherapist and clinical supervisor for 10 years in the community mental health realm prior to establishing my own practice. I began my career working with those living with HIV as an activist in the mid-1990s in Newark and New Brunswick, NJ, where I engaged in street outreach and advocated for a harm reduction approach. This work informed my commitment to public health and to exploring how economic and sociological factors play significant roles in the ways we move through the world. I have also been a musician for nearly 40 years and offer virtual and in-person drum lessons. For the first decade of my work as a psychotherapist, I worked in HIV service centers, and for group practices. In my current practice, I take a relational, client-centered approach to individual therapy, while remaining eclectic and drawing from CBT, DBT, EFT, and Attachment Theory. I also love working with children, teens, couples and families! I have 20+ years of SW, activism, & psych experience working with diverse populations. Throughout my career, I've seen the process of earning clients' trust as an honor, & I work to sustain clinical relationships that reflect this. I value the roles art, music, and humor play- both in the healing process, & as avenues toward reaching one’s full potential.
