Dissociative Disorders (DID) Therapists in Brooklyn, NY

Joseph Campbell wrote that, "Opportunities to find deeper power within ourselves come when life seems most challenging." I applaud the courage it takes to reach out for help, knowing that our first reaction to debilitating fear, pain, and life challenges is often to try to ignore or avoid it. Therapy is an opportunity to suffer less and thrive more, and undergo transformation in the context of a safe and supportive environment.

You’re ready to realign to your authentic self with clarity, creativity, self compassion, and connection. I use a creative and effective approach to guide people to heal their pain that goes beyond talk therapy. Together we will create a pace that works best for you, and uncover the root of behavior that is no longer serving your highest good. I will help you identify what is burdening you, how to maneuver stressors, and recalibrate your body and mind to accept goodness into your life with ease.

Asking for help is an act of courage; it is one of the bravest things you can do. As an eclectic therapist, Molly primarily draws from psychodynamic, relational, cognitive behavioral, and humanistic theory to provide an inclusive, affirming, trauma-sensitive space for individuals to engage in healing and self-exploration. Molly has experience working in inpatient and outpatient settings with adults battling challenges including PTSD/complex trauma, domestic/intimate partner violence, mood disorders, LGBTQIA+ issues, personality disorders, and perinatal mental health.

Hi. Call when you are ready to start to have the life that you want. Each client is treated in a way that is specific to that individual. Even though many people share similar issues the way the issues are experienced is unique to the person who is experiencing it. Anyone can have a better existence through the exploration of their inner dynamics and the purpose that the style of functioning serves. People can get what they want out of life if they allow themselves to do that. No obstacle is too big to overcome. Things can be different if you want them to be.

I have a Bachelor's degree in Public Communication and have dedicated over a decade to improving mental health and well-being in New York. I volunteered as a Peer Advocate in Western New York and focused on assisting individuals with developmental and intellectual challenges. During the pandemic, I pursued a Master's in social work and now give back to my community as a clinical social worker. I enjoy spending time with my family, practicing yoga, working out, and crocheting in my free time.

As a psychotherapist and psychoanalyst, I am interested in how relationships heal and transform individuals. I work closely with my patients to illuminate areas in which they feel disconnected from others, and then together, we come up with ways to bridge those gaps. I have specialties in work with survivors of incest and sexual abuse, couples counseling and parenting issues, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer adolescents and adults, as well as experience working with dissociation due to trauma.

At QuIPP, we are queer, non-binary, depth-oriented, feminist, and trauma-informed. Our therapeutic approaches include CBT, DBT, and psychodynamic and we seek to explore the deep impacts of others (familial, peer, and social) on the minds and spirits of our clients. Our clinical areas of expertise include: gender & sexuality, trauma, transition related support, and poly/kinky & sex positivity. Given that trauma and emotional pain often originate within relationships, we take a relational (and deeply compassionate) approach to therapy.

I believe that the most important element in an effective therapy is a genuine connection between the patient and therapist. My approach in therapy is interactive, supportive and empathic. I view psychotherapy as a creative process and my patients as co-partners in the psychotherapeutic process.

Have you been to therapy in the past? Perhaps you worked with a traditional talk therapist, gained considerable awareness, yet at the root things have not changed. Maybe therapy has been helpful in some ways, but you have not felt truly seen or met. Does your current struggle feel bigger than you at times? Perhaps it feels connected to trauma of previous generations but you can't explain why. Trauma is an energy that remains stuck in the body and gets passed down genetically- until acknowledged and felt. To heal from trauma/PTSD/C-PTSD, we need to understand how the body holds trauma as well as the wisdom and route towards healing.

Did you wake up this morning and wish you weren’t alive? Did you look in the mirror and was disappointed at what you saw? Do you find your days interrupted with extreme sadness, or crying? How about getting angry about events and incidents that you would usually let go? Did you get fired or demoted? Is your co-workers giving you a hard time at your place of employment? Is there an individual you love not paying attention to you? Tired of being under the influence? Does your circle make you feel ugly and unwanted? How about your anxiety around family and friends at events and gatherings?

At some point in life, everyone finds themselves “stuck.” You may be stuck due to a traumatic event, a painful life transition, loss of relationship, family difficulties or concerning thoughts and feelings. Feeling stuck after these occurrences can cause a number of reactions including depression, anxiety, grief, substance abuse, intrusive thoughts and memories, isolation, and physical symptoms. My goal is to meet you at your “stuck point” and help you through the process of healing. I do this by providing a safe, nonjudgmental partnership that enables you to create goals and make strides towards them.

Sharing yourself with someone new takes vulnerability and bravery. Sharing your relationship struggles with someone new can be intimidating as well. As a trauma-focused individual and relationship therapist, I aim to make the experience as comfortable as possible for you. I believe that we are all deserving of compassion, respect, and generosity. My clients have diverse lived experiences and backgrounds. As such, I approach my practice with an intersectional perspective, ensuring your therapeutic experience is individually tailored to your needs.

You may think of yourself as bad, worthless, crazy or sick. You may feel shame for behaviors you have done. You may wish the ground would swallow you up. You may have no energy to face another day. You may know that beneath that darkness and gloom is a beautiful soul. It is okay to be human and to have ups and downs. It is okay to need someone to embrace your journey and tread the waters of life with you. You are worth the fight. You are deserving of peace. You matter. No amount of trauma, pain, challenge, illness and broken-heart can change that.

I am a licensed community-based clinical social worker with advanced training in psychodynamic psychotherapy.

I also have experience and clinical training in CBT, DBT, interpersonal therapy, and trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) with a focus on treating depression, anxiety, trauma-related disorders, loss, and personality disorders. I focus on helping improve emotion regulation difficulties, interpersonal problems and behavioral dysregulation.

We will work to heal any part of your life that is keeping you stuck or in bondage. Whether it be from your present life, recent past, or childhood, our work together will be focused on bringing you into freedom and clarity. My dedication to serving adults, couples, and teens in the NYC/Brooklyn area, stems from a deep desire to accompany people through and to witness the power of healing, which ultimately leads to freedom.

Although at times it seems like a daunting task, I believe that every individual has the potential to lead a happy and fulfilling life. Anyone who is courageous enough to begin therapy has taken the first step towards trying to achieve this. It is my belief that creating a therapeutic alliance based on emotional support and acceptance will lead you towards personal fulfillment. In a safe and supportive environment we can work together to overcome obstacles that are standing in the way of you achieving personal fulfillment.

I view therapy as an ongoing process of learning about oneself. Our interpersonal relationship allows for exploration, growth, understanding, insight, and ultimately change. I specialize in working with adult individuals who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, grief and loss, areas of self and identity, and the general frustration of feeling stuck or conflicted. Therapy is --and can be-- for everyone!
