Professional statement

Molly Moloney, Psy.D., is a postdoctoral fellow providing secure telehealth therapy across Illinois. She works primarily with college students and adults who are navigating trauma and C-PTSD, neurodivergence such as ADHD and autism, anxiety, relationship and boundary concerns, LGBTQIA+ identity questions, and self-esteem or nervous-system regulation challenges. Her clients often seek a therapeutic space that is affirming, grounded, and focused on meaningful change.

Her therapy approach blends somatic techniques with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and polyvagal theory. She emphasizes nervous-system safety and supports clients in reconnecting with themselves and others through body-based awareness, practical coping tools, and values-driven work. Her style is queer-affirming, fat-positive, and anti-oppressive, with an emphasis on helping clients move beyond short-term symptom relief toward deeper, root-level healing.

Molly brings advanced doctoral training in clinical psychology and is practicing under supervision as a pre-licensed Advanced Postdoctoral Fellow. She earned her Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology from Midwestern University in 2024, along with an M.A. in Clinical Psychology from the same institution and a B.A. in Psychology from Carroll College. Her philosophy reflects a strong belief in body-based healing and in helping clients transform long-standing patterns that are no longer serving them.


Message to clients

Before starting sessions with me, I want you to know that I work with college students and adults who are navigating trauma and C-PTSD, neurodivergence, anxiety, relationship and boundary concerns, and LGBTQIA+ identity questions. I offer secure telehealth therapy across Illinois, and I aim to create a space that feels queer-affirming, fat-positive, and anti-oppressive, so you can show up as your full self without having to shrink or explain away your experience.

My approach is rooted in the belief that you are the expert on your own life, and therapy is a collaborative process. I integrate somatic therapy, sensorimotor therapy, coherence therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), polyvagal theory, and interpersonal neurobiology to help support nervous-system safety, self-connection, and healthier relationships with others. I hope therapy with me feels like a place where you can move toward healing, reconnect with yourself, and build the kind of safety and connection that support real change.
