Molly Westfall is the owner and founder of Roots to Branches Counseling Services. She is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor with a child-specialized focus.

Her work centers on children, parents, and moms who are navigating anxiety, anger outbursts, grief, trauma, sensory sensitivities, attachment concerns, and family transitions. Molly uses child-centered play therapy and parent support to help families understand what is underneath behavior while building steadier patterns of connection and repair.

Molly's approach is grounded in the belief that children grow best when caregivers are included and supported. Her clinical work is informed by play therapy, Theraplay principles, Somatic Experiencing, and a deep respect for each child's roots: strengths, lived experience, identity, neurobiology, and family patterns.
