Clinical and Teaching Background
Stephanie Moore, PhD, LPCC-S, is an Assistant Professor in the Mindfulness-Based Transpersonal Counseling program at Naropa University. She is joining Naropa after more than ten years working as a professional counselor with a broad variety of clients in such diverse settings as community mental health clinics, crisis units, in-school and in-home with families and children, and in traditional private practice. She has a heart for working with those struggling with addiction and most enjoys working with dually diagnosed clients working through substance abuse and co-morbid mental health concerns. In addition to having a broad variety of clinical experience, she has also been teaching and supervising counselors in training both on-site and in counselor training programs. She is currently teaching CNST631E Counseling and Helping Relationships 1, CNST661E Counseling and Helping Relationships II, CNSM871E Internship 1: Mindfulness-based Transpersonal Counseling, and CNSM891 Internship II: Mindfulness-based Transpersonal Counseling. Prior to joining Naropa, she has taught a broad variety of counseling courses including Diagnosis of Mental and Emotional Disorders, Substance Abuse Theory and Practice, Psychopathology and Treatment Planning, Counseling Theories, Counseling Methods, Practicum and Internship, Research Methods and Program Evaluation, Trauma Counseling, Assessment, Family Counseling, Play Therapy, Group Counseling, and more. She is currently working toward a health coach certification that will support a more holistic approach to her work with clients. She is a passionate supporter of her clients and students and looks forward to the opportunity to learn alongside the students and faculty of Naropa.

Research Interests

Stephanie’s research interests have primarily revolved around advocacy and social justice initiatives and improving counseling access and competency for LGBTQIAA+ individuals through research in developing LGBT+ ally identity competencies. Future research interests include self-care, burnout avoidance, holistic wellness initiatives, and the use of mindfulness in both the counseling and supervision process.

Self-Care and Family

Stephanie is a mom to two beautiful boys and enjoys exposing them to all the beauty the world has to offer. She is an avid reader, loves to hike, and enjoys yoga and mindfulness practices in her spare time. She can often be found sipping coffee and reading, with a highlighter in hand. She considers one of her greatest achievements to be that her boys both love books, as well. Her preferred genre is nonfiction, and she is always open to recommendations! She considers Anatomy of the Spirit, by Caroline Myss to be one of the most influential books she has read.
