About Moira
LCAT
Moira is a dance/movement psychotherapist with a license in creative arts therapy. She is the founder of True Oak Healing, a practice devoted to helping people find a greater clarity, connection, and calm.
Her work is grounded in a deep understanding of the nervous system, the power of authentic communication, and the belief that healing happens when people feel safe, seen, and supported.
​
Since the start of her career, Moira has worked across a wide range of clinical settings. She began in early intervention and day programs for children and adolescents, helping young people navigate developmental and emotional challenges. She later served as a school-based clinician and worked closely with high-risk youth throughout the COVID-19 pandemic—an experience that deepened her insight into trauma and resilience.
​
In 2020, Moira launched her private practice, Dalton Creative Therapy, which is now known as True Oak Healing. She continues to support clients through life challenges, difficult experiences, mental heath needs and more.
Moira brings a warm, collaborative, and attuned presence to her work. She integrates somatic approaches, intuitive guidance, creative expression, and practical therapeutic tools to help each client on their individual path.
​
At True Oak Healing, Moira welcomes clients into a space that honors their authentic self and supports the journey toward rootedness, resilience, and growth.

What is Dance/ Movement Therapy?
Dance/Movement Psychotherapy is a somatic therapy that combines the body, mind and soul into the healing process. It is psychotherapy with embodiment. Instead of thinking your way out of anxiety you will learn to feel your way to safety, and watch as the anxiety dissipates. It is that step that integrates healing into your life.
Does Moira facilitate groups?
Yes, Moira facilitates both groups and workshops. Please inquire if interested in a group. Moira offers different groups both in person and virtually. Some groups that have been offered recently have been
