Mollie Wirtz

She/Her Pronouns. I am an experienced, open and creative therapist who enjoys meeting individuals where they are at, helping them discover where they have areas for growth, and helping set goals that will create more fulfillment in their lives. A mental health therapist since 2005 working with youth, families and individuals in a variety of domains, I am a primarily cognitive behavioral therapist with a strong creative bent, helping people identify and challenge unhelpful patterns of behavior or thinking that are creating problems in their life, and encouraging people to tap into their existing strengths to foster permanent healthy change. I am also trained in dialectical behavioral therapy, art therapy, and trauma-informed practices. I believe that there are many right ways to live our lives. It is up to each individual to discover the ways that they are living consistent with their own values, and to challenge the ways that they are not. I strongly believe that resiliency can be learned, that each person has the potential to create some peace and joy in their world. I have extensive experience in supporting youth ages 5-18, including culturally/ethnically diverse individuals, recent immigrants, and transgender, gender non-conforming, and/or gender fluid youth. I am also knowledgeable in supporting polyamorous, kinky, and queer individuals. Alternate website: http://www.transmissionwellness.com/mollie-wirtz-lmhc
