Congratulations on taking a step toward creating change in your life. I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor. I have extensive experience and offer support for people struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, difficult life transitions, family conflict, trauma, and addictions/substance abuse.

Independent of my job at MGH/Harvard Medical School as a clinical psychologist, I see clients in my private practice (Psychological Care and Consultancy, PLLC). I provide video telehealth only. I have extensive experience treating adults and 65+ suffering from anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression, trauma, grief and loss, adjustment difficulties, low self-esteem, stresses associated with relationship and family conflicts, and educational and occupational concerns. I also have experience working with health professionals, high-functioning autism, late teens, and military service members. I am licensed in MA and RI.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, strength-based, and client-centered. I believe in the healing power that exists within each individual, which is nurtured and strengthened within the context of our therapeutic relationship. I work with children, adults, and families who are facing complex struggles, including: parent-child relationship issues, transition to parenthood, postpartum difficulties, life transitions, behavior challenges, depression, anxiety, and more. My style is warm, empathic, and compassionate, and I work to create a safe environment to help you better understand and address the challenges you are facing.

I am a psychotherapist specializing in relationship counseling. Couples most often come in saying, “we’re having difficulty communicating”. I understand relationship dynamics, emotional communication, and the neurophysiology of secure connections. I help clients better understand their patterns of connection as well as conflict, and I will help make your relationship stronger.

For over 25 years I have helped adults, couples, teens and children find ways to manage anxiety, depression and trauma in order to achieve an increased capacity for enjoyment in relationships and life. I strive to create a safe environment, where taking risks to connect with emotions leads to increased insight and motivation to change. I take an active approach to help clients achieve their goals and resolve their problems. When treating children, I work closely with parents, providing careful guidance about how to help their child develop and thrive.

Welcome! I’m Molly, a therapist trained to work with individuals and couples. I bring curiosity, warmth and humor to help you navigate life’s challenges with clarity and purpose. I primarily treat clients struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting, life transitions (job changes, marriage, divorce, loss, etc), and interpersonal difficulties. I also offer couples (heterosexual, same-sex, queer) premarital counseling or support following a significant rift.

Are you struggling with a major life transition, negative body image or stuck in a fight/flight/freeze response in your relationships with others? I specialize in helping clients navigate life transitions such as divorce, caretaking burnout, grief/loss, empty nest, midlife health and hormonal challenges, body image, fatigue and recover from toxic or narcissistic relationships. I can help you to feel grounded and whole again. I have 25 years of experience working with high sensitivity, PTSD, narcissistic abuse, women's health and wellness, and mind-body solutions.

Life offers both the opportunity and the challenge of navigating assorted relationships in our personal and professional lives. Many people struggle to thrive in these relationships because of barriers to communication, trust, or accumulated stressors - any of which can result from unresolved conflicts or traumas. I work with individuals who may be experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, or other impediments to satisfying relationships. I also work with couples and families who are seeking support in recovering feelings of intimacy or repairing painful fractures in the relationship.

You can’t stop the waves, but you can learn to surf.” – Jon Kabat-Zinn Feeling anxious and burnt out? Having a hard time getting out of bed or managing daily responsibilities? Do you find yourself having the same fights over and over in relationships? Are you struggling to find hope and joy in your life? Are you wondering if you can truly heal from traumas? You don't have to continue feeling this way. My clients have been able to regain a sense of joy, peace, life balance, and hope through their work with me.

I love helping clients who feel stuck with anxiety, depression, or trauma become “unstuck.” In my therapy space, I strive to create a supportive environment for people to explore their emotions – and the experiences that shaped those emotions. With individuals, couples, and families, I work collaboratively to understand how previous dynamics, especially with families of origin, contribute to their current thoughts and coping skills. When clients understand how their past relationships influence their current selves, they are better able to build new futures, with greater self-acceptance, growth, new skills, and overall happiness.

I am here to make the experiences of therapy and life coaching extremely easy and comfortable for you. I help people that may be feeling stuck, lost, or confused find their way again and overcome obstacles that may be getting in their way. Together, we will identify patterns in your life that you would like to change and develop the skills necessary to change them. My background includes working with a range of issues including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, family conflict, parenting, perinatal and postnatal mental health, and difficulty with self esteem.

Feeling overwhelmed by 'what ifs' and constant worry? If decision-making feels daunting and life transitions leave you paralyzed with fear, you're not alone. These struggles can manifest physically—headaches, tension, stomach issues, or panic attacks. It's natural to want to escape this discomfort, but imagine facing these challenges with confidence. In our sessions, you'll learn to manage anxiety, embrace change, and make empowered choices. Together, we'll transform your fears into a journey of self-discovery and growth. You don't have to navigate this path alone; let's find peace and fulfillment together.

I have been practicing as a psychotherapist for 40 years. My approach is interactive. A safe and trusting relationship develops over time so that dynamics can be explored and risks can slowly be taken that improve the quality of one's life.

Welcome to my practice! Are you looking for change? Whether you are seeking help with a major transition or ways to manage the problems of every day life, choosing the right therapist is a very important decision. I provide high quality, compassionate, and confidential care. Finding a therapist for the first time can be a challenging and sometimes intimidating process. I would be pleased to consult with you over the phone at no charge to see if my services are a good fit for what you are experiencing.

Feeling burdened? People come to therapy when they feel stuck, suffering, or passing through a life transition that shocks or baffles them. People come for help to learn to accept themselves or make changes in their lives. But, old habits get in the way of attaining goals, connecting with people, and enjoying the richness of life. There is therapeutic magic in understanding and expressing the internal parts of ourselves that feel in conflict. Here, you learn ways to quiet the inner dialogue enough so that you can feel free to listen and take action to promote your own well-being.

I specialize in working with couples who are experiencing difficulties. No partnership is without disappointments, confusion, and an experience of minor or major betrayals. Yet these predictable challenges invite us to broaden our capacity for understanding and enter new depths of intimacy as we repair and heal. As a marriage and family therapist with a focus on sexuality I believe that no matter what the difficulty, we can reshape our relationships to have the kind of deep connections we yearn for. I help couples strengthen relationship skills and develop tools to end negative patterns and establish deep intimacy.
