Carey Molinski MA-LPC
Please contact Carey directly at
Carey has a rich history of psychotherapy skills and is a strong advocate and communicator. She is direct yet relatable, skilled yet casual. She has experience in crisis intervention and trauma and is trained in EMDR (all ages) and TF-CBT (children and adolescents). She has helped many clients with diverse concerns such as depression, anxiety, self-harm, suicidal ideation, oppositional behaviors, conduct disorders, Autism Spectrum, schizophrenia and other psychoses, and relationship concerns.
Viewing each therapeutic relationship as a partnership, Carey diligently works to meet clients right where they’re at, without judgment, helping them to achieve their individual goals. Carey knows that relationships are based on trust, genuine compassion, and honesty, creating a congruency – both personally and professionally.
Carey focuses her interactions on answering the question of “what happened to” her clients rather than “what is wrong” with them. Carey empowers her clients through a strength-based lens, helping to reframe negative experiences into islands of competence. She uses empathy and discernment to encourage clients, helping them to heal, thus, building resilience to future problems.
Carey primarily approaches client concerns from a meld of Cognitive-Behavioral, Existential, Person-Centered, and Trauma-Focused approaches. She can provide EMDR therapy in-person and via telehealth sessions. She is dually licensed in Wisconsin and Colorado as a Licensed Professional Counselor. Her resume includes recent positions of clinical manager of two outpatient clinics in the greater Denver-Metro area and, most recently, practice manager of Psychology Associates of the Fox Cities. January 1, 2024 marked the beginning of her next leadership position by launching Molinski Counseling and Consulting Services LLC. Carey services people in-person in the greater Fox Valley area in Wisconsin. She is thrilled to be providing video telehealth services to clients living in Colorado.
Carey completed her undergraduate degree at Ripon College in Ripon, Wisconsin in psychology and speech communication. She completed her graduate degree in professional counseling from Liberty University, which also included some doctoral level coursework in addictions and addictive behaviors.
On a personal note, Carey resides in Appleton, WI. She spent all of her life in East Central Wisconsin before a cross-country move in August 2020 to be nearer to family in a suburb of Denver, CO. She returned to her Wisconsin roots in June 2022, preferring the smaller urban location and the slightly slower pace of life found in the Fox Valley. She loves spending time with her two adult daughters. Her older daughter completed her bachelor’s degree in psychology with a minor in French at Ripon College in 2020 and is currently working towards her PsyD (doctoral degree) to become a clinical psychologist at The Chicago School for Professional Psychology .Her younger daughter, diagnosed on the Autism Spectrum, earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design from the Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design. She currently engages in freelance design work and serving as the graphic artist for Carey’s clinic.
Carey is hearing impaired but does not allow this to stop her from providing therapeutic services. She is a shining example that personal struggles do not have to limit or define you. Carey loves art and anything creative. She has known pain but has grown seeds of joy from that pain and she is eager to help you on your journey to healing and hope.
