Zachary Moeller, ASW
Hello, my name is Zach Moeller! I am an Associate Clinical Social Worker here at FWC. I enjoy working with lots of different folks, ranging from those dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, substance abuse, transitional issues, and relationship conflicts, to anyone who is thinking “something isn’t right.”
I have extensive experience in community mental health, including Assertive Community Treatment and coordinating Peer Support services for the San Diego Mountain Rescue Team (SAR).
I also have lived experience as a member of a military-affiliated family, supporting Responders with managing occupational stress, and am comfortable facilitating faith-based therapy as well.

I love creating space for people to bring their whole selves to therapy, including their spiritual beliefs and questions. Prior to joining the Freedom Within team, I worked with people across many walks of life – people pursuing recovery from substance use and severe mental health diagnoses, and those seeking new life and safety from domestic violence. I have lived experience as a military spouse to my husband who is Active Duty Navy.
