*Just a quick note before you book: My evening sessions are completely booked, so I am only accepting daytime clients (before 4pm) Monday-Thursday. If you are looking for a daytime appointment, please read on to see if we sound like a good fit! Thanks! Hello! My name is Molly Monella. Do you feel like you've forgotten who you are, or maybe you've never really known? Perhaps you're struggling with dissatisfaction or overwhelm in your life roles. Maybe you've been carrying the burden of pain, shame, regret, or trauma since before you can remember. And despite all of this, maybe you're ready for change, you're looking for fulfillment, or you're seeking healing. I am well versed in the treatment of several mental health diagnoses and find that I have a particular passion and gift for the treatment of trauma, relationship concerns, sexual health and empowerment, body image concerns, the mind-body connection, self-esteem, and assertiveness. I use a blend of evidenced-based approaches to ensure that you have therapy that works for you and suits your personality. My goal is to approach therapy with a sense of curiosity, non-judgment, radical acceptance, and even humor. Together, we can help you return to yourself or even find the person you've been looking to be for a long time. I know that can be daunting, but you've been brave enough to look for a therapist and make a commitment to yourself. I would be honored to be a part of your journey. Now, let's get started!

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session, you'll be able to share what you're comfortable with, what you're hoping to get out of therapy, and ask any questions you may have. I'll answer any questions and offer any insight regarding what treatment modalities I think will be a great fit for you based on your personality and current goals. We'll go over your intake paperwork that you complete during session and elaborate on any more information you provide.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My peers, supervisors, and clients often describe me as being relatable, judgment-free, and compassionate. As a colleague of mine stated, "Molly welcomes each client with fierce empathy and warmth. I am in awe of her authenticity and attunement. I have always known Molly to lead with integrity in her personal and professional relationships, even when it is not convenient or the most popular opinion. She is eager to remind people, especially her clients, that they themselves are their number one priority."

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I work with adults (18+). I love working with clients who are ready to address the deeper meaning of their earliest childhood experiences, people who want to take a deeper look at their identities, and those who are ready to do meaningful work. I am best suited for clients who are open to using the trauma-focused approaches that I use most in my practice: IFS and EMDR. Clients should check my treatment and specialties section to see if these treatments sound like something they are interested in before scheduling an intake. I can explain more, but am a trauma therapist at heart, so if you are not interested in looking into the past or are looking for behavioral or solution-focused interventions, I'm not your girl! It's important to note that with trauma work, consistent treatment is essential. I work best with clients who can commit to weekly sessions for the first few months of our journey together. We can eventually taper, but a solid, consistent foundation is really needed before less sessions are required. Our sessions can be so much fun too, a client with a sense of humor is always appreciated.
