About Vanessa Molina

Hi, I’m Vanessa!

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, EMDR-trained therapist, and PhD student studying cognition and instruction. More than any of that, I genuinely love getting to know people: their stories, their relationships, and the parts of themselves they’re still learning to understand.

I work with individuals and couples, with a special focus on anxiety and trauma. EMDR is a core part of my work because I’ve seen how our past can keep showing up in the present, in our relationships, our anxiety, and patterns we can’t quite explain. But I’m not a “one size fits all” therapist. I may draw on EMDR, CBT, or solution-focused techniques, or simply slow down and make space to talk. Therapy with me is tailored to you, because you’re the expert on your own life.

Therapy doesn’t have to feel cold or clinical. There’s room for the hard conversations, and also for laughing, celebrating your wins, and asking together, “Okay… why do I keep doing this?” I really do want to see you win.

I believe meaningful change begins with small seeds and shouldn’t be rushed. Sometimes growth is happening long before we can see it bloom. My job isn’t to tell you who to become. It’s to walk alongside you as you heal, strengthen your relationships, and move toward a life that feels authentic to you.

Outside the therapy room, I love teaching, reading, the beach, cooking for the people I love, and travel. My black cat, Onyx, has a personality that deserves its own introduction.

If something here made you think, “I might feel comfortable talking to her,” I’d love to meet you. We can start exactly where you are.
