The Moore Center’s Clinical Services

Who We Are

The Moore Center’s Clinical Services Department is comprised of a team of Master’s level and Licensed Social Workers/Mental Health Counselors, Behavioral Consultants, Risk Assessors, Social Work Interns, and Clinical Specialists.

What We Do

Our clinical team provides specialized evidenced-based therapies/mental health services and skills-based services, both individually and in a group setting; provides specialized assessment through risk assessment and service evaluations; offers specialized clinical trainings and consultations; and provides behavioral consultation. The department services individuals from any Area Agency who are 18 and older, and is able to bill directly to Medicare and Medicaid for most therapy services; as a Medicaid provider, the department can access specialty services funding in most other cases.

Healthy Relationships Skills Groups and Internet Safety
The Department regularly offers skills groups using the Healthy Relationships Curriculum. These groups include psychoeducation in a group setting, team consult and training, and have an adjunct option for clients to dive deeper into topics such as dating and internet safety.

Specialized Treatment

Therapists and Clinical Specialists provide individual therapy, therapeutic and skills groups, and clinical consultation to clients with dual diagnosis who may struggle with symptoms of mental illness or who are processing difficult, dynamic issues in their lives. 

While therapy services are offered from the region’s community mental health centers, we have found that clients with intellectual and developmental disabilities often benefit from modalities other than talk therapy by trained clinicians, including adapted DBT through art and evidence-based skills groups.

Residential Treatment Options

The Clinical Services department operates a residential treatment program for clients who require vigilant supervision and structured support at home and in the community, while seeking to learn new skills and expand their independence.

We also operate a temporary placement program for those individuals who may be suddenly displaced from their homes for reasons beyond their control. 

We Work Closely With Community Partners

Members of our Clinical Services department also facilitate a Local Risk Management Committee, a Human Rights Committee and participate in the Statewide Risk Management Committee and the Statewide Community of Practice. 

Our Local Risk Management Committee reviews expert evaluations and from those develops individualized plans to mitigate risk for clients and their service providers while optimal treatment recommendations are monitored. The department provides risk management plan writing and training. 

The Human Rights Committee meets monthly to review any restrictions in place for our clients to be sure that they are least restrictive and aligned with progress in treatment, better outcomes and improved quality of life.

The Moore Center’s Clinical Services department offers training internally and externally, and collaborates with local law enforcement agencies to offer specialized training and relationship building. We also host master’s level interns, provide supervision for therapists working towards licensure within the state of NH, collaborate with local agencies – such as the YWCA and Greater Manchester Mental Health – and act as a liaison to New Hampshire Hospital. Our training and collaborations cover topics such as:

• Trauma-informed care
• Risk management related topics
• Dual diagnoses
