Molly F Mahoney, LCSW

About Me

I’ve been licensed and experienced in mental health for over 23 years and began my private practice, True Therapy, in August of 2020. My early experience at The Mayo Clinic provided a unique perspective on issues related to illness, trauma, grief, and loss. Working with employee assistance broadened my interest in perfectionism, anxiety/depression, addictions, and relationships. Life experiences led me to delve further into the specialties of OCD and family dynamics. I’ve since earned advanced certification in Marriage and Family Therapy and completed ERP training with the IOCD Foundation. I am also trained in and utilize EMDR therapy as an effective modality for processing past traumas and treating a variety of issues. Incorporating various treatment modalities is essential because each person has unique therapeutic needs. The mantra I follow is, “I’m going to believe in you until you believe in yourself.” It is my process to celebrate your wins and help you recognize the amazing person you are!
