Zachary Moeller, ASW

I am an Associate Clinical Social Worker here at FWC. I enjoy working with lots of different folks, ranging from those dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, substance abuse, transitional issues, and relationship conflicts, to anyone who is thinking “something isn’t right.”

I have extensive experience in community mental health, including Assertive Community Treatment and coordinating Peer Support services for the San Diego Mountain Rescue Team (SAR).I also have lived experience as a member of a military-affiliated family, supporting Responders with managing occupational stress, and am comfortable facilitating faith-based therapy as well. My approach to therapy is focused on connection, not a blank stare sitting across from you. My goal is to co-create a space where you feel comfortable to be your truest self, to laugh, be awkward, and lean into the things that aren’t quite right for you.

I will incorporate several tools that you may be familiar with, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Mindfulness, and the Community Resilience Model.I offer a non-judgemental and client-centered environment, where exploration is welcome and where you feel emboldened to ask the deeper questions. There is a lot of stigma attached to seeking therapy, but I believe we should treat mental health as seriously as we treat chronic pain, medical conditions, or other physical wounds. I have a strong interest in supporting anyone who may be thinking “it doesn’t have to be like this,” and trust that we can figure out the rest together.
