Dr. Molly Arnold

Our relationships can hold great rewards, and, at times, great pain. People require physical and emotional contact with others, but this need is complicated...relationships are complicated. Because relationships are so important, it is equally important that those relationships be part of emotional healing, even when others cannot be present in the counseling room. My philosophy is that work with clients is collaborative. I may be seen as an expert regarding certain issues, and a neutral person to introduce a new perspective, but my clients are the experts on themselves and their families.

I have a diversity of education and specializations that can meet many needs. My PhD is in Family Therapy. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Supervisor (LMFT-S), a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S), and a former Registered Play Therapist. I work with couples, families, adults, adolescents, and children as young as 2 years.

I believe the therapeutic relationship is the most powerful tool I can bring to the table. Although I may present many methods to assist clients in healing, I believe that a trusting relationship with a client is the foundation to all other work done.

I prioritize collaboration. I know a lot about human and relational dynamics, but you are the expert on yourself. I want to work with you to make your life better, and I want you to define what “better” is for you.

The first session is about me getting to know you and reducing your anxiety about starting this process. You are so courageous for doing this! This time is about getting the ball rolling!
