Teletherapy for Edina, MN

Hi there! I’m so glad you’re considering therapy, a brave first step in itself. I enjoy working with adult and emerging adult populations, and I have a particular affinity for working with emerging adults and college/grad students. I believe that a large part of healing happens in relationship with others, and I’m here to build a collaborative partnership with you where together we can create a path towards a more fulfilling life. I use a person-centered, interpersonal, & psychodynamic approach to therapy, while remaining adaptive to the unique needs of each client. I look forward to hearing what brings you here.

Feel disconnected from others or dissatisfied with life? Feel like the promises that were made have not been kept? Many people feel disconnected right now and are struggling with finding a healthy balance to find connection again. I can help you with those daily struggles as well as facing painful issues from the past. My co-therapist is a 125lb therapy dog named Anya; her job is to help in whatever way works best for you.

I specialize in working with high achieving young adults and professionals who are in transitional phases of their lives, whether it be applying to or attending college, career exploration or advancement, or relationship/ family dynamics. These exciting times are full of opportunities and yet they can also feel overwhelming. I offer therapy that is tailored to your specific needs and help you cope with issues such as academic pressure, career development, relationship problems, and identity formation. Having support and someone to cheer you on during these pivotal moments can ease the challenges and uncertainties that may arise.

Some disorders such as Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Specific Learning Disorders can go undiagnosed or be misdiagnosed, which can lead to academic, career, or social impairments. Twin Cities Psychological Testing specializes in providing comprehensive and individualized neuropsychological evaluation and testing to children, adolescents, and adults. We utilize gold-standard, empirically validated assessments to help identify potential attention, learning, and related disorders in order to determine potential treatment options and accommodations.

I work with couples, families, individual adults and teens struggling with ADD/ADHD, the effects of anxiety, self-esteem, adjustment difficulties, depression, bipolar, and trauma. And I work with parents whose children struggle with these presentations. I also work with individuals and families struggling against the effects of general parenting and adolescent issues, strained family and couple relationships, general mental health therapy as well as job-related stressors and life transitions, such as college, job and career change, retirement, divorce, cohabitation, remarriage, and step-parenting.

Mollie believes in approaching therapy with genuine care, concern, and unconditional positive regard.

I am currently only accepting new neurofeedback clients. I offer free consultations. I know that finding the right therapist can be an overwhelming task. Here's what you should know about me as a practitioner: I have an enduring belief that human beings have the inherent capacity to heal, become whole. This belief informs everything I do within the therapy process. Our work together becomes a collaborative process meant to faciliate your healing: my job in this process is to use my knowledge, experience and skills to help you heal and grow; your job is to show up fully and commit to active engagement in the the work of therapy.

It takes a lot of courage to come to counseling and work through life's challenges. My first priority in working with you is to build a genuine and safe relationship that encourages sharing, connection and authenticity. My combined education and background in corporate leadership and counseling psychology results in a therapeutic atmosphere that is affirming and encouraging but also holds you accountable for the changes you wish to see in your life. I look forward to walking alongside of you on this journey, encouraging you, helping you re-discover your strengths and having some fun along the way!

I'm so glad you're here. I know how hard it can be to make it through each day when your heart is hurting & your body feels weary. Right now, it's important to know that you're not alone... I'm here to help!

I help middle-age couples who are stuck in the same fight over and over again break their cycle. People who see me long for their best friend to come back and want to reconnect with their partner.

I offer a collaborative holistic and strengths based approach that empowers clients. I provide a supportive environment for self-expression to help return clients to a sense of wellness and health. I believe that through embracing creativity client's can find relief from emotional pain, gain self-awareness and insight, and heal from trauma. I help others empower themselves to heal through compassionate presence.

I believe people need a therapist they can trust and who has the ability to understand their experience. My focus is to help bring awareness to a client through the understanding of influences of the past and their affect on present behavior. My strengths lie in the ability to connect and create a safe and trusting environment in order to work on and through difficult issues to provide a more meaningful and balanced life.

Licensed for 17 years, serving clients via teletherapy in the Mpls/St Paul metro and surrounding areas (including Hennepin, Carver, Scott counties), as well as outstate Minnesota, my focus in therapy is to: 1) assist individuals and couples to clearly identify the root causes of the challenges and difficulties they are facing; 2) work together to identify real-world solutions which they feel will best address and resolve their unique life situations. I do not use a one-size-fits-all, or cookie-cutter approach.

Life is magical and messy, often at the same time; I am here to support you. These are times when connection, though made much more difficult, is even more important. Together, we will work on changing the narrative, coping with the intense pressure and stress you are facing, focusing on your strengths, and allowing space to connect to compassion for yourself. I work with people who struggle with mental health and addiction, relationship issues, self-esteem, isolation and loneliness, and a myriad of other issues that create a block from connecting to authentic contentment.

Positive mental health is a right for all, critical to managing daily life, and necessary to realize one's full potential and authentic self. Although life can saddle us with trauma and extreme stress, counseling gives us the tools and support to understand the roots of our stress and develop through it. Therapy promotes and emphasizes wellness, empowerment, and growth. It's a powerful way to explore and optimize our holistic wellbeing. Contacting a professional for therapy can feel intimidating. However, seeking counseling early on can help deescalate issues and equip us with tools to manage and prevent future issues.

Finding your ‘Aha’ moment is something that we can strive for together. I truly believe in the power of self, while also empowering, validating & advocating for you to tell YOUR story! I am sex positive & have experience working with adults, adolescents, couples & families from all walks of life & with a variety of mental health backgrounds; sexuality, depression, anxiety & life transitions, etc. My therapeutic style will feel very conversational & less psychoanalytical. I also propose therapy from a humanistic & solution- focused approach, while also being flexible to adjust my therapy style to best fit your needs.

**Currently accepting new clients** At the Center for Collaborative Health (CCH), we believe that every person is resilient and has the strength to grow and thrive. We employ a collaborative whole-body approach to healing that leads to proven positive change. At CCH, we are actively reimagining mental health culture by building initiatives to cultivate a healthy mind and body and to better withstand future challenges.

I work best with people who are highly motivated for personal growth and self discovery even if it is painful at times. I have a non-judgmental and empathic engagement style - placing emphasis on the therapeutic relationship itself. Most of my clients are looking to gain deeper insight into themselves, recognizing and changing internal thought and behavioral patterns, discovering the true depths of their feelings, and create new tools or skills to cope with speed and stress of modern day life. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, transitions, shame, relational dynamics, Autism, and identity. Email is best way to reach me.
