Thomas Moon

My communication style

My approach is conversational and interactive. I don't hesitate to offer my own observations and opinions, and I give advice when requested. You won't find me just sitting silently—I believe therapy works best as a genuine dialogue.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became clear as a young person that becoming a therapist was my sole career goal. I've been in private practice for decades, and I'm also a writer whose column on psychology appeared in newspapers for over twenty years.

My goals for you

In our first session, I usually ask: If our work together is successful, how will your life be different from it is today? Together, we formulate specific goals and evaluate our progress after four to six sessions. We periodically review your goals throughout the therapeutic process.

Our first session

I'll ask you to describe the events and issues that led you to seek therapy. We'll discuss your personal story and family history. If you've had previous therapy, I'll ask what you found helpful or unhelpful. You'll have an opportunity to ask any questions about me.
