Frequently Asked Questions
?
Couples
-
Only one partner needs to complete the secure intake form on behalf of the couple. You’ll share details about your relationship, needs, preferences, and budget. Our team personally reviews your submission and identifies the therapist who best aligns with your goals.
Once matched, the therapist reaches out directly to schedule the first session or consultation. No directories. No searching. No profiles to scroll through. Just quiet, intentional matching designed for Black couples.
-
Each therapist sets their own rate. When you complete our intake, you’ll indicate your comfort range for session fees, and we’ll match you with therapists aligned with that budget. Generally, rates range from $50–$99 (reduced rate) to $150+ (standard or premium private pay).
Rates vary based on education, credentials, specialty, geographic location, availability, and clinical expertise.
Love Moore™ is intentionally private-pay. Couples therapy is rarely covered by insurance, and our philosophy centers on decolonizing therapy — prioritizing genuine healing rather than care shaped or restricted by third-party payers.
All fees are paid directly and privately to your therapist. No insurance, no intermediaries… because no one needs to be all up in your business, except you, your partner, and your therapist.
-
Absolutely. Privacy is at the heart of everything we do.
Your information is securely stored and encrypted within our platform. Nothing you share is public, and your details are only shared with a therapist once you’ve been officially matched.
We never sell or share your information with advertisers, directories, or third parties. Your story stays between you, Love Moore™, and your therapist — quietly, as it should.
-
Love Moore™ was created to uplift, honor, and celebrate Black love in all its forms. For us, a Black couple includes any partnership in which one or both partners identify as Black or of African descent.
We affirm the full spectrum of Black identity — including Afro-Caribbean, Afro-Latinx, African American, African immigrant communities, mixed-race individuals, and interracial couples where Black identity is part of the relationship story.
We believe that love shaped by Black identity deserves care that is culturally attuned, respectful, and healing.
-
Yes. Love Moore™ affirms couples across all relationship structures, orientations, and gender identities. Whether you’re dating, engaged, cohabiting, married, or in a long-term partnership, you’re welcome here.
Our mission centers Black love — and we embrace the full spectrum of Black relationships, including LGBTQIA+ couples and gender-diverse partnerships.
We connect you with therapists trained in culturally responsive, identity-affirming relationship care — ensuring every couple feels seen, respected, and supported.
At Love Moore™, love is love — and healing belongs to everyone.
Therapists
-
Love Moore™ operates on a flat-rate subscription model. Therapists pay a monthly or annual fee to receive unlimited referral invitations and access to our curated network—no per-client fees or hidden costs. The current cost is $49 a month.
-
No. At Love Moore™, therapists have full autonomy. You’ll only receive referrals that match your preferences, and you can choose which ones to accept. If a referral isn’t the right fit, you can simply pass — without penalty.
-
Love Moore™ is not a directory — it’s a quiet referral management system designed to connect you only with clients who are a strong fit. Unlike public directories, where anyone can browse and reach out, Love Moore™ screens clients for readiness, budget, relational needs, and cultural alignment before you ever receive a referral. You’re never one name among hundreds — each connection is intentional and curated for your expertise.
-
That’s great! Love Moore™ is currently launching in Georgia, with plans to expand to additional states soon. When new states go live, therapists will receive information about how to update their licensed locations and preferences. If you’re licensed in multiple states or practice exclusively via telehealth, you can still join now — early members will receive priority access when their licensed states are added.
-
Culturally responsive therapists tailor their care to the unique identities, values, and lived experiences of their clients. They adapt their approach in real time, recognizing how culture, race, gender, and family systems shape relationships and mental health.
Love Moore™ welcomes therapists of all backgrounds who demonstrate cultural humility and allyship in their work with diverse couples. Our focus is on sensitivity, respect, and genuine understanding — not identity alone.

Our Founding Story
How Love Moore™ Was Born
Love Moore™ was born from a simple yet powerful realization: that love, when nurtured intentionally, has the power to heal individuals, families, and entire communities.
The idea first took root while Darren D. Moore was completing his Master of Public Health at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, where he studied public-health leadership. During a course in Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Healthcare, he began exploring new ways to close the gaps he had witnessed throughout his clinical and academic career.
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and educator, Dr. Moore saw how difficult it was for couples—especially Black couples—to find care that truly understood their cultural, historical, and relational experiences. He recognized that access alone wasn’t enough; couples needed a private, trusted, and culturally responsive pathway to connection and healing.
Family Wisdom That Became a Philosophy
Dr. Moore’s vision was grounded in family wisdom passed down by his aunt, (who is a Doctoral Level Nurse Practitioner and Certified Nurse midwife). One day, she stated, “When women are healthy, we all are healthy.”
Through his work with men and fathers, Dr. Moore expanded that truth to include.
“When men are healthy, we all are healthy.”
Eventually, these insights converged into the philosophy that drives Love Moore™ today…that is, “When couples are healthy, we all are healthy.”
From Relationship to Community
Love Moore™ embodies this belief — offering a quiet, concierge-style referral experience that centers trust, fit, and cultural integrity. The goal is not simply to connect couples to therapy, but to create a model of care that honors love as a form of healing.
When couples are healthy — when they love, respect, protect, and honor one another — their bond overflows into the lives of their children. Those children grow up emotionally secure, capable of both giving and receiving love, and they carry that legacy forward into their families and communities.
In this way, relational health becomes community health — and love itself becomes a form of collective healing.
