Molly Weigel, LCSW, LLC

I'm glad that you've found your way here. Like all of us, you want to feel more alive and fulfilled. Together we can figure out how you are getting stuck, experiment with new choices, and support you to heal and create a vibrant life. I am an LCSW providing experientially-based therapy to young adults and adults with issues including trauma, complex and developmental trauma, stress, academic stress, anxiety, grief, loss, relationship problems, writer's block, creativity issues, and low self-esteem. I work with you as a whole person, respectfully and nonjudgmentally. I want to understand where you are coming from, including how your culture shapes who you are.

Together we build a relationship of trust within which you can feel safe to explore, experiment, heal, and rediscover your own strengths. I have an engaged and empathic style and like to focus on the present moment as a source of experiential learning and change. Body, mind, and spirit are all involved in the process.

I am a certified Gestalt therapist who is also trained in EMDR, Mindfulness, Complex Trauma, and Trauma-Focused CBT. I have an academic background, having received my PhD in American Poetry from Princeton, and have worked with a number of graduate students and undergraduates at Princeton. We've worked on issues related to dissertation completion, advisor relationships, cultural adjustment to Princeton, defining one's own values and identity, and empowering creative work, among others. I flexibly use a combination of approaches to meet you where you are and meet your needs.
