Sarah Moore

I am a Virginia licensed professional counselor (LPC) specializing in helping clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression and maternal and paternal mental health issues. I also work with individuals who are navigating life transitions, relationship issues, grief and loss, and other life stressors.

Areas I support clients with are parenthood, work challenges, recent breakups, pregnancy anxiety, postpartum depression, and issues around alcohol. For the later, I lead a small therapeutic book club, Rethinking Your Drinking, designed for women interested in enhancing their wellness in a thoughtful, supportive and positive environment. You might call it the ultimate “Sober Book Club”.

In treating adults with anxiety and depression I most often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). For clients experiencing pregnancy or postpartum anxiety or depression, I employ special training from Postpartum Support International (PSI) and Postpartum Support Virginia (PSVa), for whom I am a Preferred Provider and a former group co-lead at Virginia Hospital Center.

I am a Washingtonian, wife, and mom. My two teenagers are active in sports and have attended public, independent and boarding schools, so I am very familiar with the advantages and challenges of family life in our area. My five decades in the region enable me to call on many experiences and resources for clients.

​Prior to pursuing my lifelong interest in counseling I was a stay-at-home mom in Arlington and wrote for government relations and contracting companies. I played tennis at Washington College in Chestertown, Maryland. When not at Sunstone, the tennis court is often where you can find me. There, or walking my dogs Snickers and Goldie.

​I obtained my masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Marymount University, where I joined Chi Sigma Iota, the honor society for the counseling profession. In addition to PSVa and PSI, I am an active member of the American Counseling Association (ACA) and Northern Virginia Licensed Professional Counselors (NVLPC).
