Karen Rose Molenda, M.A.
Clinical Member

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), I am a psychotherapist and healing arts practitioner trained to assess, diagnose and provide treatment. I am dedicated to working with each of you to discover your strengths, identify your current goals, problem solve, and empower you to bring about change. You can be assured of my commitment to holding your welfare as my primary concern and consistently giving professional, competent, and ethical treatment.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I work with individuals, couples, and families. I work with you to define and clarify your goals and I join with you to bring about change so each of you may achieve a more satisfying and productive individual life and fulfilling interpersonal relationships. I believe that the individuals defining a couple, a family, or a group together create a unique communication and behavior pattern and relate to one another within a system. Likewise I believe that if only one member of that system chooses to change, those changes will have an effect on the dynamic of the system.

As one person you do have the power to bring about change in your personal and professional relationships. It is within your successful and supportive relationships that you can discover your positive self, meet your potential for personal fulfillment and development, sense your belonging, and experience emotional stability and happiness.

My mission as a therapist is to…extend to you the gift of listening and true hearing…encourage the freedom to express yourself in a compassionate, non-judgmental environment…work with couples, families and individuals in a way that values the uniqueness of the individuals while fostering the health of the family…assist in the development of new interpersonal skills and behavior…teach how to treasure the uniqueness of diversity… join you in the sacred journey that surrounds personal growth…and honor the wholeness of each of you as human beings by integrating body, mind, and spirit.

May I have the opportunity to work with you to bring about a more satisfying life.
