I am Dr. D.J. Moran, a trailblazer in the field of behavioral science with over thirty years of experience dedicated to improving lives through innovative, evidence-based strategies. My business stands apart by merging this extensive expertise with a warm, personable approach that makes even the most complex behavioral science concepts accessible. I leverage my credentials as a board-certified behavior analyst, licensed clinical psychologist, and certified school psychologist to deliver tangible, measurable outcomes using strategies like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Clients choose me because I combine global experience—from working with Fortune 500 companies to NCAA championship teams—with genuine care, innovative leadership, and a dash of humor that turns every challenge into an opportunity for transformation.

For over thirty years, I’ve been committed to improving lives and boosting organizational performance using applied behavioral science. As a consultant, clinician, and coach, I’ve partnered with thousands of individuals and hundreds of high-performance teams—from Fortune 500 companies and Inc. 5000 start-ups to NCAA National Champions—to overcome obstacles and achieve their mental and behavioral health goals.

My journey as a board-certified behavior analyst, licensed clinical psychologist, and certified school psychologist has been driven by a genuine desire to understand and effectively intervene in my clients' challenges. I’ve harnessed the power of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for over three decades—writing books and articles, demonstrating its potential on The Oprah Winfrey Channel, Discovery, and TLC, and even serving as president of the international ACT organization. I’ve also delivered training across all 50 U.S. states and on 6 out of the 7 continents (the penguins haven’t asked for help... yet!).

Through my companies, Pickslyde Consulting and Optimize Assessments, I’ve built passionate teams dedicated to making a tangible difference. I’m eager to bring that expertise and heart to help you and the people you care for lead a Life Well Lived.
