About Molly
My name is Molly Benoit-Leach and I am truly honoured to have the privilege to walk beside the clients I work with on their journey towards healing. Since I was a young girl I have had a drive to compassionately understand why people are the way they are, and have always felt a strong drive to help and validate others in their experiences.
I have worked with adults, families, and adolescents with a focus on childhood trauma and how to recover from its impacts. This journey lead me towards integrating yoga and mindfulness as tools to address the “somatic” or body based aspect of trauma healing. I have become a therapist who works holistically, looking at wellness from a non-pathologizing approach, integrating body, mind, and soul.
I use an Internal Family Systems based approach, which asserts that there are no bad parts. I believe that everything we do or feel serves its own unique purpose, and I am passionate about helping people understand themselves in a deeper way to become the most authentic and integrated version of themselves.
I believe that the relationship with my clients is the most powerful tool I have. I cherish my relationships with my clients, and see them as the expert in their own experience. I look forward to connecting with you.
