Molly DeRosa offers an empathetic and understanding therapeutic style personalized for each client’s unique needs and goals. Molly’s goal is to come into a client’s life and give them the tools they need to deal with their stressors and hardships successfully.

My practice is geared toward teens and young adults. I provide professional cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT) along with Gestalt therapy. Only during exceptional circumstances would medication management be offered. I always counsel low medication doses and follow up with patients frequently because I like to err on the side of caution. I believe in the value of a genuine understanding of mental health, a confidential place to self-explore, and a healthy patient-provider relationship that is trustworthy, cooperative, and supportive.

One of my favorite things a patient has said to me is - “Thank you for being part of my journey”. That’s what life is to me – a journey we are all on together. What I want for everyone is that they can overcome any barriers they may have so that they can become their whole selves and live life to its fullest. I work with many kinds of people from all walks of life on issues like neurodiversity, autism, anxiety, ADHD, family history, relationships, and couples’ concerns. I also have expertise working with college students, international students, young adults, and couples after working and training at the University of Rochester counseling center. I have done training specifically to provide therapy through an anti-racist lens and continue to reflect on my own whiteness. I use a mixed relational approach pulling from person centered therapy, existential therapy, DBT and more. I am committed to providing a safe, sex positive, non-judgmental space for trust and growth to happen. Are you looking for change? Are you ready to challenge unhelpful thought patterns and uncover your potential? Then give me a call or send an email and we can set up a consultation. Let’s start the conversation!

My hours are normally Monday through Thursday from 10 am to 5 pm, but I am open to working with you to find a time that works best for you.

It's hard to change - but with support it becomes possible. You might be struggling with difficult thoughts like "what if my family never accepts my life choices - will they ever accept me?" Perhaps you're battling indecisiveness and fear about whether you're "good enough" to succeed, preventing you from reaching your aspirations and goals? Or maybe you feel confident and successful at times, but at other moments as if your shield for taking on the world is paper-thin? I specialize in the management of anxiety, fear, and depression - especially during times of actual or desired transition - that show up as feeling stuck or uncertain in your personal and professional life. My practice provides a safe and supportive environment to explore your challenges, resolve your concerns and help you get back to living your life again. I am able to accept both Aetna and Independent Health insurance plans.

With over a decade of experience, I've had the privilege of supporting individuals and families across the lifespan.

Biography: Hello! Thank you for visiting my Teladoc profile. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of New York with over 20 years of experience in mental health. I graduated with a Doctorate of Social Work from Capella University, a Masters of Social Work from Marywood University, and undergraduate degree from State University of NY -Suny Empire. I specialize in working with teens and adults coping with life stressors related to personal relationships, life changes, work-related issues, stress/anxiety, depression, substance use disorders, and trauma. I have diverse experience from a variety of treatment settings. I have worked as a school-based social worker in both a school-based mental health center and as a social work consultant, worked with soldiers and their families on military installations, and worked in outpatient mental health clinics. I use a person-centered, trauma-informed approach tailored to the unique needs of each individual. Each person has a unique perspective and set of core beliefs around their experience of life. Through exploration of these perspectives and beliefs one can connect to the truth within themselves in the present moment, become free from self-generated suffering, and gain insight, clarity and choice in their behavior. Modalities utilized in therapy include Cognitive Processing therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Compassionate Inquiry, Act therapy, and Positive Psychology. I believe that each person entering therapy is seeking to find the answers for their lives that will enhance their ability to have the best life possible. Life happens and then each of us need to figure it out. Sometimes we need someone to come along side on our journey to help us find our best way forward. Remember, life is a journey, not a destination. I look forward to working with you!

My work focuses on adults who experience relationship difficulties (romantic, with family, or friends), anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, academic concerns, and trauma - especially from relationships, prior domestic violence, family, and prejudices (i.e. sizeism, classism, xenophobia, sexism, racism, homophobia, neurodiversity discrimination). I see individuals and couples virtually or in person within a culturally sensitive practice. We recognize the nuanced experiences of marginalized people including people of color, immigrants, 1st gen college students, women, neurodivergent, working class, and queer folks. I see people as shaped by life experiences, relationships, identities, family, culture, and society. Plus we're unique individuals! Our work will consider all of this. I like to collaborate with my clients and strive to be honest, patient, flexible, nonjudgmental, warm, humble, curious, empathic, and social justice minded. I'm a neurotypical, cis, het, biracial, Black Puerto Rican woman from a working class, urban neighborhood. My approach is decolonial, anti-racist, LGBTQ+ affirming, immigrant allied, feminist, & trauma-informed. I'm a psychodynamic, relational clinician also trained in CBT, ACT, self-compassion, MI, and attachment. I'm physically located in Rochester, NY.

As students or professionals, it is more common than we recognize to be depleted by our daily routine, school or family; to experience self doubt, become overwhelmed or to live with ongoing stress/trauma. Without an opportunity for mental restoration we can become burnt out or disconnected by persistent feelings of depression, anxiety, frustration, apathy, grief or even chronic pain and illness. My aim for each client is to help you develop a greater sense of self-awareness, balance and control over your life. Even if you aren't quite sure of what it is you need - we'll figure it out together. I use a mixture of mixture of traditional therapeutic approaches and Nature Based Therapy (NBT), done either outdoors or in combination with telehealth. This could look as simple as a walk in a park or with more, immersive sensory experiences in nature to get your body in motion and feeling more alive. The ultimate goal is to reduce stress and increase your social, emotional, and physical wellbeing.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in treating adolescents and young adults with a variety of presenting problems including OCD, anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and behavioral concerns. With a compassionate, collaborative approach, I work to empower clients by focusing on their unique strengths and personal resilience. I utilize Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (ICBT) and a strengths-based approach to help individuals build lasting coping strategies, increase psychological flexibility, and achieve meaningful change. Whether you're dealing with intrusive thoughts, overwhelming worry, or persistent low mood, I offer a supportive space to explore and overcome these challenges. With a focus on helping clients develop practical tools and insight, I am dedicated to fostering a path toward emotional well-being and a life in alignment with your values.

Hello! Thank you for your interest in starting therapy. I have a lot of experience supporting college and advanced degree students who are dealing with anxiety, OCD, and stress. I take a CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), goals-focused approach. I am licensed in Massachusetts and New York and I can see students in either state--in fact, I work with a number of students who go to school in MA but live in NY when they are not on campus and vice versa. I'd be happy to set up a time to talk so you can ask any questions that you have to see if it would be a good fit for you.
