Moss Mecury (They/Them)
Clinical Intern
Moss brings a deep respect for each client’s unique story and walks alongside them with warmth and curiosity as they navigate their healing journey.
Moss is a clinical intern completing their Master of Social Work at Rutgers University, committed to making therapy accessible, practical, and oriented toward community and justice. They believe therapy should affirm your full humanity – your culture, identities, lived experiences, and dreams for the future. Moss brings warmth, curiosity, and honesty to the collaborative space, supporting clients in exploring both joyful and painful parts of life – including anger, love, grief, imagination, shame, community, and growth. Moss is honored to work with folks with their healing journey across many paths in life, including survivors, people navigating past incarceration, disabled and chronically ill people, neurodivergent folks, people of color, LGBTQIA+ or gender-expansive individuals, and those exploring non-monogamy or handling sexual or relationship concerns. In sessions, they bring warmth and nonjudgement, but a willingness to be direct when it helps.
In their free time, Moss enjoys reading and writing across genres, gaming of all kinds, and spending time with their spouse and pets.

Moss's Counseling Philosophy
Moss practices from a trauma-informed and anti-oppressive philosophy, understanding that healing is personal, communal, and political. Their aim is to be holistic and flexible, drawing from a variety of frameworks – like relational-cultural therapy, CBT, DBT, ACT, parts work (IFS-informed), and liberation psychology – just as much as expressive arts, grounding through movement, and exploring personal narratives. Depending on your needs, you can expect a mix of conversation, reflection, movement, gentle challenges, and moments of stillness or creativity. Sessions might focus on building tools, exploring identity and values, reconnecting with your body, creating new habits, experimenting with different strategies, or holding space for what’s hard to carry alone.
Moss works with clients navigating systemic inequities (racism, ableism, fatphobia), life transitions, burnout, climate anxiety, grief, boundary-setting, substance use, complex trauma, and more. Above all, they aim to create a collaborative, respectful space – listening closely, offering options, and helping you choose what feels safest and most useful.
