Mandie's Bio

Mandie Moore has a Master of Science Degree in Nursing from Emory University with a certification in Acute Care. Her passion and much of her professional experiences lie in working with children, adolescents, and young adults facing mental health challenges while also supporting their families and caregivers. She has worked with both inpatient mental health as well as in private educational facilities that serve students with a variety of challenges, such as ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Depression, Anxiety, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and a variety of Mood and Conduct Disorders.

In this setting, she received training in Crisis Intervention, Emotional Regulation and Behavior De-escalation, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Trauma-Responsive Practice. She has also had experience in adoption services and family support, and residential housing, working with adolescents who have experienced trauma and substance abuse and the comorbid mental health challenges that accompany victims of trauma.

With a passion for working with children, adolescents, and young adults facing mental health challenges, Mandie focuses on understanding the individual client by practicing empathy, promoting active listening, setting achievable and obtainable goals with her clients, and helping them meet set goals that will promote autonomy and personal growth. She also understands how mental health has systemic effects on parents, families, and caregivers and is also dedicated to providing support in this area of concentration as well. Mandie is also a fierce advocate for youth with exceptional needs, including neurodivergence, cognitive and physical disabilities, and mental health challenges, specifically regarding student and parent rights within the education system.

Currently pursuing a Master of Social Work with a certification in Clinical Social Work and Trauma-Responsive Practice, Mandie practices evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to assist her clients in transforming ingrained thoughts and actions into positive behavior patterns that align with their goals. She strongly emphasizes developing healthy coping skills, transitioning from negative behaviors to positive ones, and fostering improved relationships with family members, peers, and support systems within a supportive and therapeutic environment for her clients.

As a mother of two neurodivergent children, one in early adolescence and the other a tween, who have both experienced medical trauma and mental health challenges, Mandie understands firsthand the challenges that families face in accessing resources and support for both children and parents/caregivers. This personal connection has fueled her mission to assist children, adolescents, and families in similar situations, ensuring they have the tools and guidance needed to navigate challenging circumstances. She aims to ensure clients and their families receive the holistic care and support they are searching for.
