Empowering LGBTQ+ Individuals Through Therapy & Coaching

Hi…my name is Molly Downs-Stoller. I am a Marriage and Family Therapist & Coach, who lives in San Diego with my wonderful wife Sue, and our dog Sir Andrew James. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work from Point Loma Nazarene University and a Master’s Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of San Diego.

I have worked in the mental health field for over 15 years and have seen the healing power that therapy can truly bring! I became a therapist so I could join others in the difficult stories and experiences in their lives and help them find clarity and freedom in those places. I have extensive experience working with depression, anxiety, trauma, and crisis intervention. I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Level 2 trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS).

The journey that we walk as part of the LGBTQIA community can be a difficult one, however, it doesn’t have to be a lonely one. I’m a “later in life” lesbian and didn't realize it until I met my amazing wife, Sue.. As a result of coming out, I ended up losing my church, my best friend, and my goddaughter, however, I have never been happier or felt as free as I do now. I needed supportive/affirming friends and an affirming therapist to help me get to the other side of my loss and confusion and now I have the chance to walk alongside others. I have been working in full-time private practice with queer folks for many years now and so excited to help guide others in their journey. Contact me for a free 15 min phone consult and let’s see if we’re a good fit!
