Uniquely You Denver Counseling, LLC

Hello! I’m Molly

Mental Health Therapist, MA, LPCC

I have been a counselor for over 20 years. I started out as a youth counselor at a residential treatment center. I didn’t make much money, but I absolutely loved it. That’s when my passion to become a mental health therapist started. After doing residential treatment centers and seeing counselors with master degrees making decisions for kids I just didn’t think were in the best interest of the child, I decided to go back to school and get my master’s degree.

Over the years I’ve ran groups at an eating disorder center, worked as a therapist at a child and family out patient clinic, school-based therapist and a counselor at a professional counseling clinic.

I have a BA in Psychology and I graduated from Regis University with honors with a Masters in Counseling. I am a registered License Professional Counselor Candidate through DORA working on my hours for licensure.

I am a mom to three healthy and active boys, so I can relate to many of the issues of parenting. I love to stay healthy by doing yoga and running. I also enjoy the outdoors, skiing, hiking, camping, paddle boarding, and bike riding, basically any reason to get up to our beautiful mountains.

My Approach

We are all unique in our own way, our uniqueness is what makes us special, its our “super power”. With this belief that we are all so different and unique, I use all this great knowledge I’ve gained over the past 20 years as a counselor and I personalize your therapy. I use different modalities determining on what your needs are. I do not use just one technique for all my clients, I use many and I mold them around you… mold to your own uniqueness. I specialize in helping individuals heal the root of their anxieties, fears, and traumas.

Life can be difficult and overwhelming at times. Whether its our jobs, our children, our spouse or even past trauma. I believe we all have the ability to get through life’s tough times…with a little help and support. There is always a way, always an answer, we just need to slow down and figure it out. Sometimes we just need a little help seeing things clearer. We all get so busy that we don’t slow down and notice the possible bad patterns we’ve created around us. I can help heal some of those past traumas, so you can let go of some of those heavy past memories. The best way to describe it, is that we all carry our own back pack of memories or negative thoughts, that weigh us down like rocks and hold us back from being our true selves. During therapy, I help support you as you pull out each negative memory or thought and face it, so you can throw it away and move on. So you are able to walk taller….lighter.

Children feel overwhelmed too. Unfortunately they do not have the ability to verbalize their frustrations, so we usually see it through their behaviors. Kids do not act out, just to act out, there is always a reason. I can help parents figure out that reason and come up with coping skills to help manage that behavior. I believe if a child is given a safe, confidential space, with a trusting therapist, then change can happen. Play therapy can be very powerful with children, they can act out their feelings and thoughts in a safe place. I can help children with behavior issues, trauma, dealing with divorce, depression, grief and loss and anxiety.

I am an eclectic therapist. I use many different modalities including: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution Focus Therapy, Play Therapy, Sand Therapy, Art Therapy, Dream analysis, EMDR or Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing, Family Systems Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, Jungian Therapy, Mindfulness-based interventions, Music Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, just to name a few. I also participate in multiple annual therapy presentations and conferences to ensure that I am in a position to review ALL emerging treatment techniques as they may relate to my clients. I believe you can always learn more.
