About Me

My name is Molly Mulanax and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I show up to my work first as a human who is no stranger to the ups and downs of the human experience. I identify as a mother, a spouse, a teacher, an artist, a neurodivergent, a Bay Area native, an Italian and Portuguese woman. I specialize in working with teen, young adult and adult women. My orientation is holistic and rooted in the belief that growth occurs when we understand and embrace all parts of our experience. I value curiosity, compassion, playfulness and authenticity in our space together. I am committed to social and racial justice and strive to work in solidarity with BIPOC and LGBTQIA communities. I am passionate about helping people heal from trauma and live fully in their truth.

Experience

I began my journey as a therapist working with women struggling with substance abuse and co-occurring mental health disorders. I have had the privilege of working with individuals within the hospital setting, providing Expressive Arts Therapy treatment to patients by the bed side and in other treatment areas. Facilitated Expressive Art Therapy groups within a variety of community clinics, including Contra Costa County Jail. Worked within the educational system providing therapy for adolescents, teens and families. I am currently working virtually with individuals and couples in the private practice setting.

Education

I received my Masters Degree in Counseling Psychology, with an emphasis in Expressive Arts Therapy, from John F. Kennedy University.
