Getting to know Molly Tavernese
Hello! My name is Molly, and I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in San Diego, California. I work with clients statewide via telehealth, supporting adolescents and adults with a variety of concerns described below.
My approach
I use a range of therapeutic modalities tailored to each individual’s goals. While I most frequently employ Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I also draw from Person-Centered Therapy, a Strengths-Based Approach, and Mindfulness techniques. Together, we can explore your goals and develop a treatment plan that helps you feel safe, supported, and engaged in a collaborative process.
My focus
My style suits both adolescents and adults. Everyone experiences times when social, emotional, and relational challenges can leave us feeling stuck, scared, or unheard. Issues such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, eating disorders, self-worth struggles, anger management, stress, and substance abuse can deeply affect our well-being. Learning the skills to move forward can be life-changing, helping you feel better and fostering healthier relationships with yourself and others.
My communication style
I am here to listen actively and without judgment, so we can form a strong therapeutic alliance as a team. Let’s take a few deep breaths together as we get to know each other, creating a relaxed and authentic space. And if humor arises naturally, that’s welcome too—therapy doesn’t have to be all doom and gloom!
My journey to therapy
I’ve often found that friends and new acquaintances confide in me about their stories and challenges. I’ve felt fortunate to listen and sometimes offer guidance, which inspired me to pursue this path professionally.
