About Dr. Jessica Moore

I hold a doctorate in Interpersonal and Family Communication from the University of Texas at Austin and am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have integrative health training from Duke University Integrative Medicine as well as the Stanford University Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education. I also received clinical training from from the preeminent center in the country focused on relationship research, The Gottman Institute.

Prior to opening a private practice, I was a professor for more than 20 years and taught courses on Interpersonal Communication, Relational/Family Communication, Sex Communication, and Health Communication, among others. Working closely with individual adults as well as couples to improve their lives is my passion, and it is ultimately what led me to pursue clinical practice full time. I feel fortunate to say that one of the things that sets me apart from many therapists is that I am not only a compassionate and caring clinician, but also a well-respected scholar.

I see clients with a wide variety of experiences, but specialize in:

  • Individuals with Anxiety and Depression

  • Individuals with High-Pressure Careers

  • Dating, Married, & Long-Term Relationships

  • Relational Communication

  • Sex & Intimacy Concerns

  • Premarital & Discernment Counseling

  • LGBTQIA+ Clients and Couples

  • University Students, Graduate Students, & Professors

  • Mindfulness (MBSR) & Self-Compassion Training

  • Outdoor & Walking Therapy

I am a native Texan, but I have lived across the US and now call the Austin area home. In my spare time I enjoy hiking with my dogs, biking, documentary films, live music, visual art, and adventures with my spouse of over 25 years.

About Integrative Therapy of Texas

What is integrative therapy?

Integrative therapy is a progressive form of therapy in which the therapist combines therapeutic techniques to meet the needs of each unique client. In essence, it’s therapy that is tailored to fit the specific and evolving needs of each individual, couple, or family.

Where do you see clients?

I primarily see clients in my office in the Northwest Hills area of Austin and online through virtual therapy sessions. I also see a limited number of clients outdoors at select natural areas in and around Austin.

What is walking therapy?

Walking therapy is a form of eco-therapy that take place outside, often while walking a predetermined path for the duration of the appointment. I offer walking therapy in the Austin area and am happy to discuss the potential to move your sessions outdoors. Walking therapy can be wonderful for many clients, but it’s not appropriate for every person or circumstance.

What are your rates?

50 minute sessions at Integrative Therapy of Texas range from $150 for individuals to $225 for couples and multi-person sessions. Sliding scale therapy services are also offered, and special rates are offered for self-sustaining college students and those who may be experiencing financial hardship.

Do you accept insurance?

Integrative Therapy of Texas does not process insurance claims on behalf of clients, but we are happy to provide documentation necessary to request reimbursement from your insurance company.
