Molly Silverman, LPC (she/her)
November 3, 2026 Update: My caseload is currently full and I am not accepting new clients at this time. I will post a prospective client inquiry form on my contact page when I have openings.
Welcome!
My name is Molly (she/her) and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) located in Western Pennsylvania. I provide individual, one-on-one therapy via telehealth to adults within the state of Pennsylvania.
I am typically a good fit for folks who:
Want to break out of unhelpful patterns, such as self-criticism, people-pleasing, self-abandonment, or jumping to conclusions
Need support for stress, anxiety, or grief
Feel ready to make a change and want support along the way
Want a gentle and paced approach to working through stressful or traumatic experiences
Are tired of holding back or keeping things in
Have a complicated relationship with their family
Use humor to cope
Identify as Queer, LGBTQIA+, Trans, Gender Nonconforming, an LGBTQIA+ ally - or are questioning their gender or sexual/romantic orientation
Discovered they are neurodivergent in adulthood*
*Please note: I take an exploratory, non-pathologizing, and acceptance based approach to neurodivergence, with collaborative problem solving for experimenting with ways to meet your unique support needs. I would not be a good fit if you are looking for quick, structured, or class-like skills building.
How I Help:
Honoring the "ands." Making room for seemingly contradictory feelings and experiences. You can be grateful for what you have and frustrated with where you are. You can love someone and feel hurt by them. You don't have to choose one truth at the expense of another.
Finding the courage to do the hard thing. Creating space to name what you've been holding in, have the difficult conversation, set the boundary, or take the step you've been afraid to take.
Balancing self-compassion with accountability. Learning to be kinder to yourself without losing sight of your capacity to grow, make changes, and actively build the life you want.
Exploring what feels too difficult to face alone. Finding the courage to explore painful experiences, complicated relationships, and parts of your past or present that may feel overwhelming to navigate on your own.
Working with your polarities. Getting curious about the seemingly opposing parts of yourself—your happiness and sadness, strength and vulnerability, independence and need for connection, maturity and playfulness. Rather than viewing these parts as contradictions to resolve, learn to understand and make room for all of them.
Honoring grief in its many forms. Giving space to the grief that accompanies loss, transition, unmet expectations, and experiences of oppression. Explore ways to acknowledge, express, and live alongside grief rather than minimizing it or being consumed by it.
Experimenting with new ways of being. Exploring what it might look like to move through the world in ways that feel more aligned with your authentic self, your values, and what matters most to you.
About Me
About Me
I am a Gestalt therapist who may incorporate other approaches to therapy in our work together, such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. To learn more about my approach and training, visit this page.
My values include authenticity, autonomy, choice, compassion, curiosity, humor, nonjudgement, transparency, and social justice. These values often show up for me in my role as a therapist.
I tend to embody an easygoing and patient energy as a therapist, balanced with compassionate honesty and direct feedback. I often show up to sessions dressed in a t-shirt or sweatshirt and comfy pants - sometimes a baseball hat, too - which I do to support my own comfort and authenticity, which allows me to feel more engaged and present with my clients.
I am LGBTQ+ affirming, neurodivergent affirming, consensual non-monogamy affirming, and weight-neutral.
I am committed to personally engaging in ongoing therapy, professional supervision, and continuing education, which I strongly believe helps me be a better therapist for my clients.
When I'm not providing therapy, I'm usually spending time with my chosen family (including pets), listening to comedy podcasts, rewatching my favorite TV shows, traveling to new and familiar places, going to concerts, finding something delicious to eat, planning my next tattoo, or starting a new hobby that may or may not stick (probably the latter).
