MY STORY
Welcome!
​
My name is Natasha Hope-Moriarty and I am a licensed masters social worker (LMSW) with the state of Georgia. I received my Bachelors and Masters degrees from Temple University in Philadelphia, PA.
As a psychotherapist, I have been providing therapeutic services to children & adolescents (ages 3-21) in a school and agency setting since 2009. In 2015, I was asked to take-over as lead teacher of a preschool classroom that I was observing and overseeing as to provide therapy to the students. In doing so, it ignited my passion for teaching as I realized that I could go a step further with my skills in applying them over the course of an entire day, as opposed to timed sessions.
​
My experience is with providing individual and group therapy, as well as providing intake assessments to identify treatment needs and goals. In addition to therapy & social work, I am a former preschool teacher.
​
I have learned throughout my professional career that I possess certain skills and attributes that allow me to form bonds with children and connect with them on a deep level. My goal is to use my skills and expertise to help children learn and understand themselves in a way that promotes emotional, social, and behavioral growth. In doing so, I hope this leads to future generations of children growing up with an emphasis on Love.
​
Let's work together to help children Love more, Heal more, and HopeMor.
