Miche'l Moore LMFT
The Personal Side of Me
Hello, my name is Miche'l Moore, and yes, my name is pronounced "Michael". Don't worry, you'll get used to it. I am the founder and owner of Evolvewithin. I am excited to tell you a little about myself as well as my focus as a Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT).
I was born and raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I have a wonderful, loving family and truly supportive friends. Throughout life I have run into many ups and downs of my own; however, I have rarely given up. I have had great mentors along the way within my personal and profession life, and I would not be where I am today without the knowledge, kindness, and support of others. It truly does take a village. I have extensive past experience with families and children as I was a nanny for 10 years prior to becoming a therapist. I am also a proud and devoted mother and stepmother to my four children, my sixteen-year-old stepdaughter, my fourteen-year-old stepson, my ten-year-old stepson and my seven-year-old daughter. My role as a parent, stepparent, and co-parent of two versions has enriched my ability to understand unique situations and navigate diverse perspectives within my personal life as well. I am also a proud spouse of a Lieutenant Firefighter who, when off the job is a devoted father and helper. As a family, enjoy being silly together, learning from one another, supporting one another, hold serious conversations about life, or just simply being with one another in our day to day lives.
I received my undergraduate degree in Psychology from UW-Milwaukee and thereafter I attended Edgewood College (soon to be University) in Madison, Wisconsin for my master's in Marriage and Family Therapy under Director Peter Fabian. I held my clinical internship and later employed by The Family Center in Madison Wisconsin prior to opening Evolvewithin.
At my core, I believe we have the capability of healing ourselves, both for ourselves and for our loved ones. That is why I opened Evolvewithin. Therapy is not meant to change you, it's meant to evolve you. Sometimes we jsut need something, whether that be understanding, insights, education, guidance, practice, peace of mind, emotional safety, and/or healing. I would be happy to help assist you on your journey, whether that be with myself or another qualified and caring clinician or clinical intern here at Evolveiwithin.
My Clinical Work
I have been working with clients as a Therapist since 2013 and truly enjoy it. However, since the clinic grew into a group practice with multiple therapists, I have spent less time working directly with clients and focused more of my attention on supporting my team of Clinicians and the clinic as a whole, offering more to our community than ever before. It is important for me to have a qualified team who can make a positive difference each person, family, and couple that seeks services at Evolvewithin.
The types of folks I have enjoyed working with over the years and love to see at our clinic are those who have experienced unhealthy upbringings and/or past abuse or trauma who want to make a positive change for themselves, their career potential, and their families. I also welcome couples who seek services for communication, intimacy issues, trust issues, affairs, problem solving, mundane life, you name it. And lastly, I am incredibly passionate about parents who seek support for individual growth or growth as a caregiver, especially now. Our children and their futures depend a whole lot on those who care for them. Don't forget that putting yourself first is not just for you, it is for everyone else you care for. Become your best self for you, your relationships, your job, and most importantly, your children.
THE CLINIC
Evolvewithin opened in 2015 and it has continued to flourish ever since. In 2019, the clinic expanded from a solo practice to a group practice by welcoming additional Therapists and Clinical Interns. I am naturally a team player and love to work in a leadership role, so I am thankful to have such a wonderful team of therapists to work alongside.
Please do not hesitate to ask which therapist is the best fit for you. We all work with individuals, couples, families and groups, but depending on your needs, one therapist may fit your needs better than another.
I feel as though our pasts shape who we are today, and sometimes we are not 100% comfortable with who we have become. Evolvewithin is here to help you get a little closer to where you'd like to be. We take a collaborative approach when working with our clients. No one knows you better than yourself; you are a huge part of your treatment.
