Meet Mollie:
Hello! I am currently completing my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Art Therapy
at Antioch University, Seattle. I also hold a Bachelors in Fine Art with a focus on Fiber Arts from
Massachusetts College of Art and Design where I learned the competitive nature of being a professional
artist did not suit me ultimately landing me in the field of art therapy.
Many folks wonder if they need to be “good” at art when contemplating if an art therapist is a good fit
for them, and my response is “there is no ‘correct’ way to make art.” The space we build together is
about fostering a safe space for you to take creative risks to heal, and I view my role as one of
support—there is no judgment. Unlike “traditional” art making, art therapy focuses on the creative
process and viewing our challenges from a new perspective. As we work together, we will weave
together talk therapy and art making, and over time find a balance between talking and making art. The
structure of therapy is up to you. I believe you are the expert on yourself and through practice you can
begin to tap into that to make the changes you want to see in your life.
I do recognize art therapy can be intimidating, and as a white, abled bodied cis-woman with a fine arts
background I often adopt a position of privilege and I am continually learning and growing to become
increasingly aware of how I show up in spaces in and outside of the art therapy studio space.
When I am not in the office, I can be found sewing or knitting, snuggling with my cats, or climbing the
nearest wall.
