Terry Moore, MSW, LCSW, LIMHP
licensed clinical social worker
licensed independent mental health practitioner
I'm proud of my affiliation with Associated Counseling Professionals, PC. We opened our
doors in August of 1993. Since then, we have had just a few changes in personnel - and have
discovered a lot about the art and science of running a small business. Whew!
Previously, I worked in at Children's Hospital, the child & adolescent psychiatric unit
Midlands Community Hospital - in the days before they became part of Alegent Health, and
the community mental health center in Kearney, NE.
I grew up near Chicago, Illinois, but Omaha has been my home for over 30 years. I earned
my Master of Social Work degree from the University of Nebraska at Omaha in 1980. My BA in
Psychology and Sociology [1977] came from Creighton University, also in Omaha. I have an
appreciation for the power of growing up in a small-town environment, along with the fun of
the Omaha metropolitan environment. I also have an appreciation of how frustrating it can be
to be to be gridlocked on the way to O'Hare Airport!
Hypnosis
My specialty is clinical hypnosis. I've been studying and using this fascinating tool since
1982. I find that it has wide application, and brings satisfying results. It has the potential of
assisting with stress & anxiety [phobias, too], depression & self-esteem issues, along with
pain management, and habit control. Since 1997, I have held the title of Certified & Approved
Consultant in Clinical Hypnosis. This allows me to supervise other mental health
professionals who also want certification from the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis.
To say that there are misconceptions about hypnosis is a substantial understatement. Most
of what you will find on the Internet is unregulated & unsubstantiated bunk. Please -- call with
you questions before you schedule a time to come in. I am always happy to answer your
questions.
- Can I be hypnotised?
- Will it help with my particular problem or concern?
- How soon will I get results?

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
OCD is a tricky problem to solve, for a number of reasons. It is tricky because, in the short
run, it is tantalizingly easy to just give in to obsessions, do the compulsive behavior, and
hope it won't come back.
The problem is that it always does. OCD is persistent, and can be tremendously disruptive to
one's life. It can invade work, relationships -- and often leads to deep depression. The good
news is that there are treatment strategies that help. Sometimes that includes medication;
behavioral therapy is always part of the plan. If you need more information, start here.
I've been active in my professional organization -- the National Association of Social
Workers. Having previously held several regional and committee appointments, I was
elected President of the Nebraska Chapter for 1997 through 1999. I currently serve on the
Chapter's Ethics Committee.
I am very interested in the use of technology.. I am responsible for the purchase and upkeep
of all the computers our office, and try to stay up with the latest trends.
