I value honesty and openness in relationships. Sharing your story is a gift I don’t take for granted.
When I started my practice, I used my given name (Meredith) for work instead of the name I’ve always gone by (Molly) to set a boundary. It wasn’t my most successful work/life balance strategy—it’s caused some confusion! I’m comfortable with both, so call me whichever feels right.
My Therapeutic Approach
I work from a cognitive-behavioral foundation, using empirically supported strategies to help you understand the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and actions. My approach is collaborative and rooted in empowerment, integrating positive psychology and feminist therapy. I emphasize the power of self-talk and a growth mindset, incorporating mindfulness and narrative techniques to help you make sense of your experiences in a meaningful way.
I prioritize taking care of myself so I can show up fully for my clients. Time with family, walks with friends, being outside, yoga, and reading help me stay grounded and present in each session.
My Professional Values
Integrity
I believe in growth—not just for my clients, but for myself. Like anyone, I make mistakes, learn lessons, and continue to evolve, both personally and professionally. Therapy isn’t about being perfect—it’s about showing up for yourself even when things are uncomfortable and hard, and I hold myself to that same standard.
Compassionate Competence
I’m committed to continuously learning—both personally and professionally—so I can show up in real, meaningful ways for the people I work with. I engage in regular continuing education, consultation with colleagues, and professional development.
Additionally, I actively support and participate with organizations that advocate for social justice, mental health access, and Indigenous sovereignty.
Respect for Autonomy & Equity
I honor each person’s right to make their own choices and recognize the impact of systematic factors on mental health. My goal is to create a space that is inclusive, affirming, and respects diverse identities and experiences.
I also acknowledge that I live and work on the traditional land of the Haudenosaunee. I honor the sovereignty of the Six Nations—the Mohawk, Cayuga, Onondaga, Oneida, Seneca, and Tuscarora—and am committed to supporting Indigenous-led initiatives in meaningful ways.
*I’m not sharing this to check a box or for self-promotion, but because accountability matters. Inclusion isn’t a one-time statement—it’s an ongoing effort, and I’ll keep doing the work.*
