Dr. Anne Moore has been actively working in the field of mental health since 1996. She attended graduate school for her doctoral coursework at the Georgia School of Professional Psychology- Argosy University. She completed pre-doctoral and post-doctoral training at the Atlanta Center for Eating Disorders and a year-long trauma practicum at Georgia State University. Dr. Moore then completed her pre-doctoral residency at Appalachian State University Counseling and Psychological Services Center in Boone, North Carolina. Her dissertation topic was the application of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) as an effective method for treating eating disorders. DBT is currently considered the gold standard treatment model for eating disorder treatment.

Upon completing her doctoral program, Dr. Moore served as the Program Director for Atlanta Center for Eating Disorders from 2000-2004. As program director, she managed the daily operations and program development of a large intensive outpatient and partial hospitalization treatment center. Additionally, she facilitated group, individual, and family therapy. Dr. Moore also participated as an Active Teacher in Family Medicine for Emory University, supervising medical residents. Dr. Moore actively supervised doctoral-level students in clinical and diagnostic training and an extensive clinical team comprised of psychologists and masters-level therapists. Dr. Moore started her private practice while serving as program director at the Atlanta Center for Eating Disorders. In her private practice, she developed and utilized the Triangle Theory model, a treatment model for treating individuals who struggle with all types of self-injury. Dr. Moore broadened her scope in 2013 and is the author of “ Living Joyfully in Our Bodies.” She also went on to manage several residential eating disorder treatment centers in the Southeast and mid-Atlantic areas of the country. Dr. Moore has experience directing treatment at all levels of care. Dr. Moore also designed specific groups for in-person care in 2020 and continues to direct and run those groups in Atlanta. Currently, Dr. Moore is in private practice on St. Simons Island, GA, and in Atlanta, GA. She is developing a new treatment model for treating eating disorders which combines the tenants of Family Based Treatment, her own treatment model, the Triangle Theory, exploration of how shame, self compassion, and mindfulness impact individuals and families, DBT skills, and family systems theory. This exciting model focuses on keeping an individual at home during treatment and offers healing for the family as a whole. It is proving to be an effective treatment model.

In her private practice,  Dr. Moore continues to enjoy working with a wide variety of individuals and the issues they face as they strive for health and fulfillment in their lives. In addition to her work with patients with eating disorders, she has worked extensively with individuals struggling with chronic pain and illness, self-injury, anxiety, OCD, depression, and trauma. She practices from both a theoretical perspective as well as a practical perspective. “ All the theory in the world does not help unless we as professionals can also be people first and connect with our patients as real human beings and honor the lives that each person we work with leads.”
