Therapy for Higher Education
Working or studying in higher education can be deeply meaningful, but mentally exhausting. Faculty, staff, administrators, and students often navigate complex systems, heavy workloads, unclear expectations, emotional labor, and institutional pressures that are rarely acknowledged and understood.
At I AM MOORE, LLC, we provide therapy for individuals across higher education who are navigating the emotional, relational, and professional realities of academic life. Our work is informed by direct experience within academic institutions and a systems-oriented understanding of how colleges and universities shape well-being. We recognize that stress in higher education is often not a personal failing, but a response to layered systems, roles, and expectations.
