Sophia Moore, MS, LPC, NCC, DCC

Fayetteville, North Carolina

Thank you for selecting me as your professional counselor. This disclosure statement will  provide you with a better understanding of my education, professional certifications and background as a clinician, my philosophical beliefs and the expectations in our professional relationship. Also, I will discuss issues of confidentiality and grievance procedures.

I successfully completed my undergraduate program at Fayetteville State University in Fayetteville, North Carolina.  I obtained a BS Degree in Criminal Justice in 1991.  I obtained a MS Degree in Guidance (Agency Counseling specialization area) from Virginia State University in Petersburg, Virginia in 2000.  Currently, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in North Carolina, National Certified Counselor (NCC) and a Distance Credentialed Counselor (DCC).  Currently, I am pursuing a PhD in Psychology.

I have 17 years of counseling experience which stems from working with students in the Juvenile Justice System, the at-risk population, school counseling setting, and individuals receiving services in mental health  populations, both children and adults. It is my belief that the focus of treatment for many consumers will be what the person is currently experiencing. My counseling style will vary depending on the individuals presenting problems. My approach may stem from Carl Rogers' Person-Centered Therapy, William Glasser's Reality Therapy and Albert Ellis' Cognitive Behavioral Therapy/ Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapy.  I may be eclectic at times and utilize other schools of therapy when deemed necessary. This will be explained to you in an understandable manner at the first session.
