My name is Molly Higgins and I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT) in the state of California. I have been doing therapy for almost 10 years and have worked with adults through telehealth since 2020, focusing on depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions and stress. I have a background in community mental health, where I focused on strengthening parent-child relationships. I individualize treatment for each clients, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, with a foundation of a person-centered approach.

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

In an initial session, my goals are to share a little about the process of therapy, and to learn a lot about my clients. Why are they seeking help, and why now ? What changes would they like to see in their lives and where are they feeling stuck? It's also very normal to feel anxious at the start of therapy, especially if clients have never been in therapy before, so I strive to help clients feel at ease through a new experience.

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

My primary strength as a provider is the relationship I build with my clients: a relationship built on trust, safety and mutual respect. I show up as my authentic self so that my clients can do the same, and I love to incorporate humor into the therapy space. My flexibility as a provider is also a strength- I love being able to adapt my approach for individual personalities and preferences and I so appreciate my client's feedback to me.
