Meet Molly Sanders, LPC (she/hers)

My approach to therapy is all about warmth, openness, and working together—with a bit of humor sprinkled in.

I aim to create a supportive space where you can explore and process tough experiences, helping you move toward healing and personal growth.

I pull from Attachment Theory, Neuroscience, and Polyvagal Theory to take a holistic view of your experiences and challenges. I’m also trained in EMDR, which I use to help people process and integrate difficult experiences, building resilience along the way. A big part of my work is helping clients recognize that patterns or beliefs that once helped them cope might now be holding them back—and together, we explore new perspectives and ways to connect with yourself and others.

Molly Sanders

I work with people facing a wide range of challenges, including life transitions, depression, anxiety, parenting struggles, relationship difficulties, and complex trauma.

When working with children, I use play and creativity as tools to help them process tough emotions. I also focus on helping parents with strategies that go beyond traditional behavioral approaches, emphasizing connection, empathy, and co-regulation in their relationship with their child. I love partnering with caregivers to understand their child’s unique strengths and needs, creating a supportive space for everyone’s growth.

Ultimately, my goal is to help you navigate your challenges with compassion and guide you on a journey of healing and self-discovery.
