OUSIA MOON
(they/them/theirs)
MSW / APSW
I am an Advanced Practice Social Worker with additional certification in Trauma Informed care. For much of the past decade, through a variety of interdisciplinary paths including direct mental health practice, pregnancy options/abortion counseling, community-based research, full-spectrum doula work, conflict mediation, and therapeutic group work, I have provided compassionate listening and support for people with a variety of identities and backgrounds. It is always an honor to build trust with clients, and to witness their growth, self-discovery, and transformation.
​
Some of my areas of interest and clinical experience include queer, trans, and neurodivergent affirming therapy, anxiety and depression, blended and/or queer families, reproductive transitions (pregnancy, abortion, postpartum, parenting, loss), consensual non-monogamy, relationship and sexuality issues, and healthy communication. I offer in-person, telehealth, and walk-and-talk sessions for individuals and couples.
​
Creativity is not a limited resource reserved for a special class of professional providers, academics or artists, but rather a fundamental human quality required for our personal healing and collective liberation. Therapy can be a time to use this creativity, mindfulness, movement, and dialogue to explore one’s own internal world, make meaning, claim new narratives, practice healthy coping skills, and work towards personal goals. In my therapy room, we do this using evidence-based practices, taking into consideration larger contexts and systems. My foundations and experiences as a neurodivergent queer/trans cultural worker have taught me to approach problems with a sociological imagination, and I strive to approach my work through an intersectional feminist, abolitionist, decolonial, and anti-racist lens.
Outside of work, I am a musician, community-choir facilitator, proud parent, contemplative writer, and book dragon.
