Meet Molly

​​​

Molly Spaeni (she/her) is a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist.  Molly attended Edgewood College where she received a Bachelor's degree in Studies in Education and a Master of Science degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. Molly was trained in Systems Theory and believes the symptoms an individual experiences are not always a reflection of the individual alone, but may be a product of the environment, family, and relationships the individual is a part of. In order for one’s issues, concerns, or symptoms to change, the system the individual is a part of must also change.

​

Molly has experience working with anxiety, depression, trauma, perfectionism, relationship concerns, disordered eating in-remission, body image concerns, low self-esteem, negative core beliefs, borderline personality disorder, childhood emotional neglect, parenting concerns, attachment, and affected family members. Molly most enjoys supporting client's in developing self-awareness around how their past influences current symptoms and behaviors, especially from an inner-child and attachment perspective. Molly's hope for her client's is that they grow to truly understand, trust, and develop a loving relationship with themselves while navigating life's challenges. 

 

Molly has experience working with children and adolescents between the ages of 8 and 17, as well as adults.  Molly has experience working with individuals in the neurodivergent population and enjoys providing support to the individual who is neurodivergent as well as the individuals, families, caregivers, and teams that may directly support individuals within this population. 

 

Molly accesses several therapy modalities but most enjoys Systems Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Compassion-Focused Therapy, Relational Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Solution-Focused Therapy, and enjoys meditation, grounding, and mindfulness skills. In addition, Molly is especially interested in using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing), an evidence based psychotherapy treatment that targets (life threatening and interpersonal) trauma symptoms, and the negative self-beliefs an individual possesses as a result of the traumatic event(s).   

 

Molly is dedicated to providing a non-judgmental and safe therapeutic environment and fostering a safe and meaningful therapeutic relationship with her clients, which she believes is at the heart of healing.

 

 

Molly is an LGBTQIA2s+ affirming and supportive therapist.
