Molly Wilcox Yahr, LPC
Molly Wilcox Yahr is a psychotherapist who believes therapy should be a space where clients feel safe, supported, and understood while navigating life’s challenges.
Molly’s counseling style is compassionate, honest, and grounded in humor and unconditional positive regard. She helps clients build confidence, develop practical tools, and create lasting change both during difficult seasons and as a proactive investment in their long-term well-being.
She specializes in working with high-achieving medical professionals and also supports adolescents, adults, and couples experiencing anxiety, depression, eating disorders, perfectionism, communication challenges, relationship concerns, and major life transitions.
Molly is particularly passionate about helping individuals and couples navigate decisions about parenthood. She often works with clients who are deciding whether to have children and exploring questions such as “How do I decide if I want kids?” or “Should I have children?”
Molly provides a thoughtful, non-judgmental space to explore values, relationships, and lifestyle goals so clients can make intentional decisions about parenthood and their future.
If you’re curious about what working together might look like, Molly offers a complimentary 15-minute consultation to help you determine if it’s the right fit.
Molly whole-heartedly believes in the healing power of therapy and wants to support her clients through that journey.
