Tim Moore, LPC

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in Sisters, Oregon. My training is in Internal Family Systems, somatic therapy, interpersonal neurobiology, and transpersonal psychology — and before any of that, in wilderness education and Outward Bound.

That last part isn't decoration on a bio. Taking people into hard terrain and bringing them back out is a specific skill, and it's the same skill whether the terrain is a mountain range or a man's own history. You need to know the route, you need to know the weather, and you need to know the difference between a person who is struggling and a person who is in danger. Everything I do still runs on that.

What I believe about this work

Regulation comes before revelation. A nervous system in fight or flight cannot do subtle work. Most men who feel like they're failing at growth are just trying to do fine motor work with the alarm going off. Settle the body and half of what looked like resistance turns out to have been physiology.

There are no bad parts. The part of you that goes cold, drinks, works around the clock, or gets contemptuous took its job young and for good reason. Fighting it is how it wins. It stands down when it's known.

Insight is overrated as an endpoint. Understanding your pattern and being free of it are different achievements. The second one takes other people, repetition, and time. Usually years, honestly.

Men need elders, not gurus. Not someone with the answer — someone who's further up the trail, will tell you the truth about the terrain, and isn't building a following.

Two hats, kept separate

I'm a licensed clinician, and I also lead men's community, programs, and ceremony. Those are different roles and I don't blur them.

The clinical work — therapy and the ketamine intensives — happens under my license through Aspen Counseling, with screening, records, and everything else that entails. The community, the retreats, and the programs are not therapy: no diagnosis, no chart, no clinical relationship, and I'm not your therapist there. Men who need clinical care get told so and get help finding it, whether or not it's with me.

I keep that line bright on purpose. It protects you more than it protects me.

Bedrock is held by more than one man.
