Molly-Mae Pinson, MS, LCMHCA, NCC

Mental Health Therapist

I completed my Bachelor of Science in Psychology at UNC Charlotte and received my Master of Science in Clinical Counseling from East Carolina University in 2021. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults in a variety of settings including crisis intervention, inpatient hospitalization, community-based outpatient, intensive in-home services, and private practice. 

My therapeutic approach is client-centered, strengths based, and solution focused. I value the process of discovering what motivates each individual, and enjoy utilizing creative and engaging interventions to encourage self-exploration and individual growth. It is important to me that clients feel comfortable and safe throughout the therapeutic process. My approach is influenced by a variety of theories, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy.

Personal experience guided me to the field of mental health. This life experience allows me to quickly develop genuine trust and rapport with the children and adolescents I work with as clients. Through these connections, we are able to develop a strong therapeutic relationship and progress together toward identified goals. I look forward to connecting with you!
