Mollie Spiesman LCSW

I conducted research on the anti-diet approach to health and the negative affects of yo-yo dieting (going on and off diets). This informs my practice today as I work from a Health at Every Size lense and meet my clients where they are in their wellness journey.

I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults experiencing anxiety, issues with self-esteem, disordered eating, stressful transitions, and navigating life’s everyday challenges. I take a strengths-based approach with my clients and always meets her client where they are in their journey. I do not believe in a “one size fits all” framework of therapy, and use techniques from different modalities such as psychodynamic and CBT with a focus on mindfulness.

I see therapy as a collaborative relationship between the therapist and the client. When I start working with a client we discuss their goals for therapy. This can include both short term and long term goals. I often check in with my clients to assess if their goals have remained the same and where they feel they are in their progress toward their goals. We then assess what is working and what we can modify so that it is most effective.
