We’re thrilled to welcome Crosby Franklin, LCSWA, LCAS (she/they), to the Half Moon team!

Crosby creates a therapeutic space where people of all identities and experiences — including q***r and neurodivergent folks, those navigating substance use or recovery, and anyone seeking to better understand themselves and the world around them — can show up fully as themselves. With a foundation in social justice, harm reduction, and anti-oppressive care, Crosby brings warmth, humor, and deep presence to the therapy room.

Whether you’re seeking support with trauma, identity exploration, motivation, or just figuring out what healing looks like for you, Crosby is here to walk alongside you with curiosity and compassion.

Crosby is currently accepting new clients in person in Raleigh and via telehealth across NC. Click the link in our bio to schedule a consultation!

Let’s talk about the BACE-ics of maintaining your mental and physical wellness. By checking something off the list of each of these categories every day you might see a huge difference in your quality of life.

For some it’s as simple as a 20 minute walk around the neighborhood or a high intensity workout. However you get your body moving — it’s so important!

These are just a few of our favorite examples of B.A.C.E. Which one are you going to try first?

Safety should never be negotiable. We are devastated by the recent violence against trans folx in our community. Half Moon stands with trans and q***r folx and recommits to creating spaces where everyone is seen, affirmed, and celebrated. We invite dialogue on how we can all do better—our DMs are open.
