About the Executive Director
Teresa "Tree" Moses
Facilitating Transformational Healing Across Diverse Communities
I live and lead with intention, grounded in the transformative power of healing. Across carceral settings, forensic hospitals, corporate spaces, and within community and family systems, I bring a trauma-informed, relational approach that honors each person’s dignity and capacity for growth.
One of my strongest gifts is the intuitive ability to read the emotional landscape of a room—drawing out authenticity in others while gently guiding them toward healing, self-discovery, and connection.
What sets me apart is my capacity to create safe, supportive environments with immediacy—spaces anchored in transparency, vulnerability, and deep compassion. I cultivate atmospheres of trust and belonging that not only support the moment but expand the potential for lasting change, resilience, and meaningful relationship across all levels of engagement.

Herstory of Tree’s House
Tree’s House is more than just a place—it's an experience for one's soul and sole, an intersection between one's existence and the journey toward their destiny. Every space within Tree’s House embodies three core elements: an invitation, a welcome, and a profound sense of belonging.
In 1987, the origins of Tree’s House began to take shape, symbolized by height—a representation of growth, potential, and the foundation of resilience. Over the years, as I navigated significant adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and other forms of trauma, this height was expanded to include depth, length, and width. The journey of Tree’s House is one of transformation, where the roots of lived experiences are not only interconnected but also strengthened by the wisdom and resources shared from every branch.
Tree’s House is not just about the connections formed, but also the resources offered—born from the richness of lived experiences. It is a space where individuals from all walks of life are invited to heal, grow, and find their way toward a purposeful destiny.
In 2022, I founded Tree’s House Soul 4 Sole, a nonprofit organization committed to nurturing hope and healing for individuals and families from all walks of life, especially those impacted by grief, trauma, and systemic challenges. My mission is to Build Lives and Birth Hopes through Restorative Experiences.
The work of Tree's House extends to a wide range of individuals and communities, including victims and perpetrators of domestic violence, at-risk youth, children affected by domestic violence, individuals facing teenage pregnancy, and those struggling with mental health issues such as suicide ideation. Through this work, I aim to provide a space for healing, growth, and empowerment at every stage of life—from youth to middle age and beyond.
At Tree’s House, we understand that both trauma and healing impacts are always layered. Our services offer compassionate support and resources for each unique journey, with a deep commitment to breaking cycles of trauma and building stronger, more resilient individuals and communities.
