About Molly Legarrea

Introduction:

Beginning counseling can be scary and intimidating for a first-time client. Molly’s goal is to offer a warm, welcoming, and open space where clients can come to learn about themselves, restore balance in day-to-day life, and feel listened to. It is normal to feel that support is needed in troubling or difficult times – Molly strives to be the person to meet you where you are on your journey and walk with you further to create change and growth in a positive way. Molly values the idea that each individual’s unique background and experiences shape how they view struggles. Therapy is a step toward making sense of those struggles and how to navigate them. Molly enjoys having the opportunity to build a trusting, empathetic, and non-judgmental therapeutic relationship with clients in order to ensure that they get the most from counseling.
