Today I am joined by Abby who is a Chinese adoptee and a therapist from Colorado! We get to talk about important things related to mental health of international adoptees. I learned a lot myself and am very thankful for the opportunity to collaborate with her. Check out her bio and websites below for more information:

Abby Derr-Moore is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Colorado. Abby received her Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy from Colorado State University. With an enthusiasm for learning how nature heals itself, Abby has spent over a decade’s worth of education and clinical experience learning how to tap into one's innate ability to heal.  After several years of working with at-risk individuals and families in community mental health, Abby started her own private practice specializing in complex trauma, attachment, and dissociative disorders. She has a particular focus working with international adoptees, forensic populations, personality disorders, Dissociative Identity Disorder, and couples and families stuck in emotional gridlock. Abby uses EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, Mindfulness, and IFS throughout much of her work with complex trauma survivors to help them find balance within and to heal throughout. Couples and families benefit from attachment-based approaches such as the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy.  Passionate about being able to provide opportunities for all, Abby also provides supervision, consultation, and nationwide presentations and trainings in the areas she specializes with the hopes of destigmatizing complex mental health issues and advocating for those who have been in hard places.
