Molly Walters(She/Her/Hers)

Molly Walters, Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (#157690), provides therapy to adolescents and adults struggling with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Anxiety Disorders, and related concerns, including body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFBRBs), such as trichotillomania and dermatillomania, and eating disorders. Having lived experience with OCD, she works collaboratively with clients seeking to better understand their experiences and build more fulfilling, values-aligned lives.

Molly’s approach is rooted in evidence-based practices, including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness skills training. She also integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS) and attachment-based techniques as appropriate to address deeper wounds underlying OCD and anxiety. Her work emphasizes the mind-body connection, helping clients develop practical strategies to manage intrusive thoughts, urges, and anxiety while cultivating self-trust and resilience.

Molly’s professional training includes clinical work with young adults in community mental health centers and psychiatric hospitals, including international experience in Prague. With a background in the medical field, she brings a strong understanding of how physiological and psychological processes interact, enhancing her ability to support clients in navigating challenging symptoms. She holds a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University and is supervised by Alegra Kastens, LMFT (#124277) at The Center for OCD, Anxiety, and Eating Disorders.

Based in Southern California, Molly offers virtual sessions to clients throughout California and Florida. Her practice is designed to be collaborative, warm, and practical, supporting clients in developing skills that promote long-term growth, emotional regulation, and a greater sense of agency.
