Molly K. Fleming
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, MHSP, YT
East Memphis-Colonial-Yorkshire, Memphis, TN 38112
Authentic interaction, compassion, and curiosity are central to my work as a relational and experiential therapist. I believe that human development, personality, and mental health are primarily shaped by where we come from: interpersonal relationships (namely our earliest attachments) and the culture and social values that shape our lives. Building more secure connections with others is required to break repetitive cycles in life and to heal from trauma. Therapy can be that secure base.
I prioritize a whole-person approach: thoughts, emotions, body awareness, breath, nervous system, choices. We are all of this.

The clients I work with often face challenges navigating life’s complexities for various reasons. Some may be experiencing grief due to the loss of a loved one, a major life transition, or unmet expectations. Others struggle to process traumatic experiences, finding it difficult to access their emotions and turning to numbing behaviors instead. Many feel overwhelmed by the pressure to meet both external and internal standards. Whatever the obstacle, we approach it together with compassion, non-judgment, and a focus on finding clarity and healing.

I draw from several modalities of therapy, particularly Emotionally Focused Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment therapy.
Life often presents us with difficult choices and challenges that leave us feeling stressed, drained, and disconnected. In response, we may withdraw, suppress parts of ourselves, and move further away from our values and goals. While these responses are natural, they can create tension in our relationships, work, and emotional lives.
I specialize in working with teens and young adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and life transitions. Whether you're grappling with overwhelming emotions, challenges in relationship, or feeling stuck, I offer a compassionate, affirming space to explore your struggles and strengths.

You’re the first in your family to succeed—graduate, start a business, buy a home, or create a life that looks “perfect” to others—but inside, anxiety and self-doubt linger. You’ve learned hyper-independence, code switching, and emotional suppression just to get here. Overachieving became survival, not choice. Now the pressure to hold it all together feels exhausting. You deserve support to set boundaries, care for yourself, and finally enjoy the success you’ve worked so hard to build.

I use a mix of Internal Family Systems/Parts Work, EMDR, Mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Ecotherapy, Yoga, Somatic Processing, and DBT to help them find peace with the hard stuff
Sometimes life just gets overwhelming. I enjoy supporting both minors and adults in finding self compassion and growth while experiencing the uncomfortable. In sessions together, we can learn to do this by navigating trauma responses, depression, anxiety, life transitions, suicidal thoughts, relationships, body-image challanges, disordered eating, behavioral issues, and stress. Through both doing my own work and spending time with clients, I wholeheartedly feel we can find so much healing by getting curious about our emotions and greeting whatever arises with kindness, respect, and a bit of humor

How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.
What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?
The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.
Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?
Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.
How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?
A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
