Molli Ben-Gal, LMSW

Molli (she/her) is passionate about human connection, and strongly believes in the power of healing through self study. She holds a Master of Social Work degree from NYU, a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Drama from NYU Tisch, a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Certification from The Collective School of Yoga, and has received psychoanalytic and EFT training.

Molli focuses her work on helping women navigate the landscapes of emerging adulthood. Emerging adulthood is the transitional part of life when you go, “Wait.. who am I and what am I doing?” This time in life can be confusing and daunting, as you are expected to manage friendships, relationships, work, family, future planning, and city life, all while trying to figure out who the heck you are. Take a breath– you don’t have to do it alone.

Molli also specializes in eating disorders, body dysmorphia, disconnection of mind and body, the relationship of the body and sex, restrictive eating, binging, over-exercising, and other body image related behaviors. She understands that it’s not just about food and weight, it’s about everything that can come along with these behaviors: depression, anxiety, perfectionism, shame, rage, fear of abandonment, and repression of emotions, among many others. 

Therapy is a deeply personal and intimate experience, and Molli leads with the heart to create an open, understanding, collaborative relationship with clients. She values the exploration of our foundational relationships in order to better understand how we feel and act within our current reality. Her approach to therapy marries both Eastern and Western philosophies of healing, valuing the attunement of mind, body and spirit, and relying on this connection to guide the evolution of each individual’s therapeutic path. She understands the uniqueness of each person’s journey, and will work with you to build a kind, safe, restorative relationship that will foster your journey of healing and self-discovery.
