About

Navigating the complexities of giftedness and neurodiversity requires a special kind of guide. Dr. Emily Moran, PhD, LCSWA, is precisely that expert, offering a beacon of hope for those feeling adrift in a sea of untapped potential and misunderstood brilliance.

Dr. Moran's practice is a sanctuary for individuals, families, and couples grappling with the unique challenges that come with being gifted or neurodiverse. Her expertise shines particularly bright when addressing ADHD, adulting struggles, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and underachievement. But her compassionate approach extends far beyond these specialties, encompassing a wide range of life's hurdles including anxiety, worry, stress, boundary-setting, relational conflicts, and parental challenges.

With a PhD from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Dr. Moran brings a wealth of academic rigor to her practice. Her therapeutic toolkit is impressively diverse, drawing from evidence-based therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). This eclectic approach allows her to tailor her methods to each client's unique needs and circumstances.

What sets Dr. Moran apart is her ability to blend clinical expertise with real-world experience. Her 15 years in education, working with adolescents and serving as an Assistant Professor at the university level, inform her practice with a deep understanding of the developmental challenges faced by her clients. This combination of clinical and educational experience makes her uniquely equipped to help clients bridge the gap between their potential and their current reality.

Dr. Moran's practice is a safe haven for all. It is trauma-informed, LGBTQ+ affirming, and faith-affirming, ensuring that every client feels seen, heard, and respected. She specializes in working with clients who often feel "stuck" in their current life situation, empowering them to heal from past experiences and create a more fulfilling future. Whether you're an adolescent navigating the complexities of giftedness, an adult struggling with imposter syndrome, or a couple working through relational conflicts, Dr. Moran offers the guidance and support needed to move forward.

In Dr. Moran's own words, "The root of self-care is setting boundaries: it's saying no to something in order to say yes to your own emotional, physical, and mental well-being." This philosophy underpins her approach, encouraging clients to prioritize their own growth and well-being. With Dr. Moran as your guide, you're not just working through challenges – you're embarking on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment, learning to harness your unique gifts and navigate life's complexities with confidence and clarity.
