Find Balance. ReConnect. Heal.
Compassionate counseling and psychotherapy for individuals
I have come to the conclusion that human beings are born with an innate capacity to triumph over trauma. I believe not only that trauma is curable, but that the healing process can be a catalyst for profound awakening.

Molly Adams, LPC
Hi, I'm Molly.
I am an almost lifelong resident of Rockbridge County and Lexington Virginia. I left this serene small town to attend Virginia Tech where I earned my degree in Human Development. Following my undergraduate studies, I remained at Virginia Tech where I completed my Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2019.
Hi, I'm Molly.
I am an almost lifelong resident of Rockbridge County and Lexington Virginia. I left this serene small town to attend Virginia Tech where I earned my degree in Human Development. Following my undergraduate studies, I remained at Virginia Tech where I completed my Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2019. I then returned to Lexington where I completed a 3-year residency, both in community mental health and in a private practice setting, before becoming a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Virginia. In 2022 I opened my own private practice where I have enjoyed walking beside people on their healing journey and helping them lead more intentional and fulfilling lives through the therapy I provide.
Outside of being a therapist, I enjoy spending time with my friends, family, and partner, hiking and kayaking, dancing, enjoying my morning tea with a good book, and of course adventuring with my trusty canine companion, Wesley.
About Molly Adams Counseling: Invest in Yourself
My Clients
I provide therapy for adults (ages 18 and up) who are curious and open to learning more about themselves and wanting to embark on their healing journey. I'm fond of working with professionals, academics, and creatives. My clients commonly experience anxiety, overthinking, shame, self-doubt, and self-worth questions. I work with clients on issues related to anxiety and stress, complex or developmental trauma, single-event trauma, relationship wounds, and life transitions.
Therapeutic Focus
I combine both counseling and psychotherapy to help meet your therapeutic goals and get back in tune with your mind and body. I take a Humanistic approach to therapy with a Psychodynamic understanding of how our lived experiences manifest in our lives, bodies, and relationships. I borrow from Internal Family Systems and Attachment Theory. I also incorporate embodied healing through Somatic Experiencing *.
I view healing as a holistic process, meaning that, as a therapist, I focus on the whole person—considering mental, emotional, social, physical, spiritual, etc., aspects—rather than just the symptoms of an illness.
I too am human and have experienced raw spots in life, so I understand how challenging it can be to find the courage to grow. My role as a therapist is not to "fix" you but to empower you to relate to yourself in a new way in order to live the life you want.
*I am currently in the Somatic Experiencing® training program through SEI and have completed Intermediate Level I. SE aims to help heal trauma and stress responses at the nervous system level through the body. For more information on the SE™ approach to healing please visit: https://traumahealing.org/se-101/
What to Expect
A meaningful authentic connection between therapist and client is the foundation for growth and healing. My intention for building this therapeutic alliance is to provide a nurturing, calm, compassionate, nonjudgemental space where you feel safe and open to exploring painful experiences or emotions, hard questions, and deeper parts of yourself. Our first session will serve as an opportunity for us to get to know each other and determine whether we are a good fit. We will review my practice policies, address any questions or concerns you may have, and begin to delve into the reasons that brought you to therapy and your intentions for the process. In our second session, we will complete an Initial Intake Assessment, where I will learn more about different areas of your life and help you set personal goals for the therapy sessions. From there, we collaboratively and intentionally explore what feels authentic moving forward. Therapy will focus on both mind and body aspects to create the healing you desire. During this therapeutic process, sometimes there will be moments of clarity and breakthroughs, other times we will sit together in difficult memories or emotions in order to move through them.
