“Molly was so welcoming and friendly! She got me excited to start therapy with her and the progress we can achieve and work on together. I am excited to continue to work with Molly!”

“I had my first appointment with Molly today and I can’t say enough great things about her. She is an excellent listener, kind, caring, empathetic, and nonjudgmental. We laughed, I cried (a lot), and I feel very optimistic about my therapy journey now that I found Molly. A previous practitioner made me question if therapy was even something I wanted to pursue. I’m truly looking forward to my next session. Thank you, Molly!!!”

Getting to know Molly Barak
Life can be stressful, and feeling lost can be challenging. I aim to help each client feel less alone by providing a warm, positive, and non-judgmental space. Together, we will develop healthy mechanisms that allow you to begin the process of healing and moving forward in your life. I am a firm believer that every person has the right to be heard and seen. I approach therapy by meeting you where you are with empathy and openness to create a safe space. Through your therapeutic journey, I will help guide you to feel empowered in reaching your goals and creating a better sense of self.
My therapeutic approach is collaborative, humanistic, and culturally sensitive. My goal is to empower clients to make positive changes, enhance their resilience, and cultivate healthier relationships with themselves and others. By using empathy and compassion, therapy will become a space for you to gain self-love and better grasp your emotions, thoughts, and experiences.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor practicing in New York, with a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from the City University of New York, John Jay College of Criminal Justice. I provide individual counseling to young adults and adults and have extensive experience in outpatient, telehealth, and criminal justice settings, as well as serving the Jewish community, which I am part of.
