Molly Pallavicini

My communication style

My approach to communication starts with active listening, reflecting back to ensure clarity and validation. I ask open-ended questions that encourage exploration. I aim to be supportive and nonjudgmental, highlighting strengths while gently pointing out patterns or perspectives that may be helpful to consider.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a therapist began with a deep passion for serving others. After working in child welfare for 15 years, I returned to school to train in relational, trauma-informed, and evidence-based approaches. Now I work with individuals to build resilience, navigate challenges, and create meaningful and lasting change in their lives.

My goals for you

Early in therapy, I work with individuals to clarify what they hope to achieve. I use a collaborative approach because the goals must be the individual's goals, not the therapist's goals. I encourage individuals to define goals that feel meaningful and realistic to them and break larger goals into smaller, manageable steps.

Our first session

Our first session is a chance to get to know each other and talk about what brings you to therapy. We may discuss your goals, concerns, and how therapy works. I will answer any questions, and together we'll start figuring out the best ways to support you. There is no pressure to share everything - this is just the first step in your journey.
