Molly Weingrod, LSW

I am a licensed social worker (LSW), therapist, and mother (to four). I am a partner and friend. I am a daughter, sister, neighbor. I am a mindfulness practitioner, educator, and mentor at Mindful Birth & Parenting Philadelphia. And I have been a teacher, a school administrator, a food and nutrition educator and coach, a cook, a grief counselor, and a birth doula.

I started in the social work field as a teenager, and for the last 25 years, my work has varied, but has always been centered around parents, children, families, and well-being.

I specialize in maternal mental health and working with women across the lifespan, especially in and around the normally complex experiences of motherhood. I have a strong interest in life’s transition moments, parental development in particular, and I also value working with all people across the varied stages of life.

My approach to therapy is grounded in mindfulness practice - getting intimate with one’s own life and experience, slowing down enough to actually feel what’s there, and turning towards, rather than away from, the varied, and inevitable, expansions and contractions of life.

I use a variety of psychodynamic modalities in my therapeutic work, as well as EMDR and Somatics. I place a high priority on the material stored in the body, and the natural intelligence of our innate systems.

As I make my way towards my clinical license, I am privileged to be working under the supervision of Jungian analyst Lisa Marchiano, LCSW.
