Phase Two - Candidate

About Me

Joseph “Joey” Moore is a retired Navy SWCC with nearly 23 years of active service. He deployed seven times during his tenure and spent another three years overseas as a strategic advisor for an operational command in Southeast Asia. Towards the end of his military career, he began therapy, which inspired him to pursue a new role of service as a Licensed Professional Counselor in Oregon. In his words, he wants to “leave life better than he found it.”

Joey prides himself in helping people thrive. He believes nurturing mental health is often not considered in the veteran community, but it is essential to total wellness. He understands firsthand how veterans may struggle with compartmentalization, pressure, maintaining interpersonal relationships, and the stress SOF careers put on the family dynamic.

Joey is in his first year of a master’s program for clinical mental health counseling at Northwestern University. He resides in Oregon with his wife of 14 years, 12-year-old daughter, and 10-year-old son. You may find them all on Mt. Hood snowboarding, playing in a river, or on one of the Pacific Northwest’s extraordinary hikes.
