Hello and welcome! I’m Emily Moore (she/her), a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) providing therapy for adolescents and young adults in the State College area. Reaching out to start therapy is a meaningful first step toward becoming the best version of yourself, and I’m glad you’re here.
I specialize in counseling children (6+), teens, young adults, and adults, for anger management, anxiety, behavioral issues, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, self-harming behavior, stress, suicidal ideation, and more.
I strive to create a warm, welcoming environment for everyone who walks into my office. My therapy style is collaborative, and I believe in working closely with clients to find the approaches that fit them best so they can make meaningful progress and feel supported along the way.
My therapeutic approach incorporates my training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy-Informed (DBT), Children’s Therapy (not Art therapy), Mindfulness-based (MBCT) Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Strengths-Based therapies.
I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Kent State University and my Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Robert Morris University. I have worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings, with much of my experience in K–12 school-based environments.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my two dogs, Pancake and Peppermint. We love going on walks and exploring nature around the State College area. I’m also a fan of keeping up with the latest TV shows, especially reality TV or a good documentary.
In my downtime, I enjoy reading and crocheting, and I’m currently teaching myself to knit. On the weekends, my husband and I love trying out new coffee shops together and always love a new recommendation!

Emily Moore offers in-person therapy at the State College therapy office and online therapy sessions for anyone in Pennsylvania.
Whether you are suffering from panic attacks, obsessive – compulsive disorder, or generalized anxiety we have therapists who use evidenced-based treatments, such as cognitive-bahavioral therapy, to help you.
Caregiving for a loved one can be challenging even in the best of circumstances. Often we don’t think about how the caregiver needs support, too. If you are experiencing burnout, our therapists can teach you skills to help you cope.
Depression, one of the most common mental health disorders, is very treatable. Our therapists are specially trained to help individuals with depression get back to feeling like themselves again.
Life transitions encompass many things, including starting or ending a romantic relationship, changes with work or school or making any big life change, such as a move. Often we underestimate how these changes will affect us emotionally until we find ourselves struggling with the ups and downs of the life transition.
While we don’t provide couples counseling at Move Forward, many individuals seek counseling to discuss how they can have healthier relationships. Our therapists can help you learn new ways of communicating, setting boundaries, and other ways to have more positive relationships with others.
Moving into adulthood brings its own set of challenges. You may feel pressure to have a “career” or find your life partner. You may be unsure of making these big life decisions and may feel lost because you no longer have school or other adults in your life telling you what you should choose.
Being a kid can be difficult sometimes. It’s a crucial developmental period of growth and change during which children learn about the world and themselves. This can be overwhelming to some children since many are still learning all the tools and skills to help them cope with their emotions and life’s stressors. This is where therapy can provide support.
The period of adolescence can be exciting, but also challenging for many teens. Difficulties with friends, school, anxiety, depression, cutting, and substance abuse are all common issues for this group. Due to a lack of life experience, teens may not know how to manage these problems which is why therapy can be especially helpful.
Reach out today to get started. Our supportive staff will help guide you through the scheduling process, discuss special requests and consult your insurance needs.
