Getting to know Molly Shea

I am a New York State-licensed psychotherapist in private practice in Brooklyn. I facilitate a process of thinking and speaking about your life, with the goal of alleviating suffering and changing your relationship to painful symptoms. I work with people to meaningfully address issues such as anxious or depressed states, shame, relationship concerns, self-sabotaging behaviors, creative or career inhibitions, identity questions, and traumatic experiences. I received my Master of Science in Social Work from Columbia University specializing in Advanced Clinical Practice, and completed an intensive Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Training Program. I am currently an advanced candidate in the Psychoanalytic Training Program at the Contemporary Freudian Society.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I work with adults who are dealing with all kinds of problems in living. You may be looking to get unstuck, gain clarity around something confusing, improve relationships, manage a life transition, or find meaning and direction in your life. It takes courage to seek care and getting started may feel daunting. No matter what brings you here, my goal is to develop a trusting therapeutic relationship with you that facilitates a process of growth and healing.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I provide a steady and reliable space for you to become acquainted with the full range of your internal experience, especially those thoughts and feelings that may have been previously out of reach. I listen for how echoes of the past may show up in current circumstances and perpetuate unhelpful or destructive patterns. As you come to understand the roots of the matter, old wounds heal and you create space for a different version of yourself to emerge. Greater flexibility and more freedom in how you live, work and love become imaginable and even possible. We may decide that more frequency and continuity is needed in our work. Psychoanalysis is a more intensive form of treatment that allows for deeper exploration and increased opportunity to access what has been previously inaccessible. We meet multiple times a week and you lie down on the couch. This arrangement is intended to help reduce inhibitions and encourage a state of comfort and freedom to speak openly. Over time, as your understanding of yourself shifts, you become able to show up more fully in your life with a renewed sense of aliveness and purpose.
