Molly M. McCarthy, MA, LMHCA
Psychotherapist
(she/her)
Do you have a sense that your life could be better, less stressful, or more fulfilling? Do you feel overwhelmed, worn out, anxious, or depressed? I’d love to work with you to find the root causes of the challenges you face and find paths forward that are uniquely suited to you.
I help individuals age 11+ ease suffering and become their fullest selves. I specialize in working with individuals who have a history of chronic illness, medical trauma, or who are neurodivergent in a world with neurotypical expectations. I also work with a wide range of people, including those who live with anxiety, depression, PTSD, C-PTSD, and more.
I believe that healing happens in relationship, and I take time to get to know my clients deeply. I am not judgemental; I believe everyone’s behavior makes sense when you understand their past and current challenges.
I work from a psychodynamic perspective, helping you tune in to the unconscious patterns and feelings that underlie your conscious behavior. If you are looking to go beyond a “quick fix,” I may be the right therapist for you.
For individuals with trauma, I am also EMDR-trained and we can explore how EMDR and other somatic therapies might work for you.
I am neurodiversity-affirming and I love working with folks who are LGBTQIA+. I take a health at every size (HAES) approach. I am an antiracist who works constantly to understand and undo my privilege as a white woman. My work is informed by lived experience with chronic illness, disability, and neurodivergence.
I have a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Antioch University New England with a certificate in treating trauma and a bachelor’s degree in Sociology from Seattle University. Before graduate school, I spent several decades in executive positions in nonprofit and academic marketing.
