Amy MOOR, LPC-S

Originally from New York, Amy Moor came to the Shoals area after graduating from Lander University in South Carolina. She originally wanted to pursue a political science career, but that changed during her employment with Residence Life at the University of North Alabama. She earned her Master of Arts in Community Counseling in December of 2010, and became a Licensed Professional Counselor in 2013. Amy began her counseling career as a substance abuse counselor and then worked with adolescents in a residential outdoor program. She is currently in private practice with Valley Psychiatric Associates in Florence.

Amy has had the privilege of presenting multiple times at the Alabama Counseling Association Conference. She was also interviewed twice on the podcast On Air with Elk River. Amy enjoys connecting with others and sharing experiences.

Through her varying counseling jobs, as well as the experience of birthing her two children, Amy has become passionate about women’s issues, especially pregnancy and postpartum mental health. Her son was born in 2017 and her daughter during the height of Covid in 2020. Her two pregnancy and postpartum journeys were vastly different, as a result of Covid. These experiences led to a greater understanding of how important our support system is during such vital life chapters.

Amy currently resides in Killen with her husband, Mitchell, and two children, Wyatt and Paisley. She enjoys spending time with her friends and family, watching Marvel movies, and reading.
