Molly
O'Connell

Hi, I’m Molly—a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and psychotherapist committed to supporting individuals through life’s most meaningful and challenging moments. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Chicago and a Bachelor’s in Psychology from Xavier University. I’m currently licensed to practice in both Connecticut and Colorado.

​

With over a decade of experience, I’ve had the privilege of working with adolescents and adults in a variety of settings, including private practice, school-based programs, and forensic environments. ​While I work with clients across all life stages, I have specialized expertise in supporting teens and young adults, as well as individuals navigating infertility and perinatal mental health. I’ve completed advanced postgraduate training in fertility counseling and perinatal mood and anxiety disorders.

 

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based care. I believe in a holistic perspective—one that honors both your inner strengths and the systems that shape your life.​ Therapy, to me, is not just for moments of crisis. It can be a proactive, empowering space to reflect, grow, and reconnect with yourself. I know from both professional experience and personal healing—through my own infertility and postpartum journey as a parent of two—that therapy can be a powerful tool for change.

​

I currently live in the beautiful countryside of Litchfield County, Connecticut, after earlier chapters spent in the DC Metro area, Chicago, and Colorado. Whether you're navigating a specific challenge or simply seeking a deeper connection to yourself and your values, I’m here to walk alongside you.
