Molly Scanlon, LMFT — Therapist in Florida

Hi there, I'm Molly!

The world needs more healing and it would be my honor to join you on your journey of transformation. My primary purpose in becoming a helper/healer is to validate, empathize, and empower my clients to live intentional lives that are aligned with their values and goals.

My focus

I do my best work with Clients who are curious, courageous, and seeking to develop self-compassion.

My approach

As an LMFT, I work to understand and appreciate your worldview and seek to help you explore your life as inherently interconnected to your loved ones, community, and the broader systems of which you are a part. I use evidence-based treatment approaches (CBT, DBT, CPT, SFT, and IFS).

My communication style

Authenticity is important to me in my practice. When we work together, you can trust that I will be warm and affirming as well as clear and direct.

My journey to mental healthcare

In 2019, I had a spiritual experience that invited me to consider my life's purpose. Despite a successful career in academia, I was feeling unfulfilled. I went back to school for Couples and Family Therapy and began practicing in 2022. To be able to earn a living doing what makes my soul sing is an honor and a privilege.

My goals for you

My goal is to help you reach your goals by increasing the number of options you have in front of you. I will offer several possible routes to your desired destination, and then much of our work together is trying things on--insights, perspectives, practices, and routines--to see what fits you best at this point in your journey.

Our first session

In our first session, we will explore what brings you to therapy--the problems, stressors, conflicts, and frustrations--as well as your strengths and valuable lived experiences that can serve us in working towards your choice of solutions.
