ANNOUNCEMENT!!
We are expanding!! Meet Dr. Molly. She and I have worked together for many years and she is now joining the practice at our brand new Ypsilanti, MI location! We are so excited to have her expertise and to expand to a new area! To schedule with Dr. Molly please call us at 313-444-2630 or send a message through our website at www.thrivingfamiliespractice.com.

Dr. Molly Cory, PhD, LP is a licensed psychologist at Thriving Families’ new Ypsilanti location. She specializes in comprehensive psychological assessment across neurodevelopmental, mood, anxiety, and trauma-related disorders as well as individual and family therapy for children and teens. Dr. Molly is integrative in her clinical practice, emphasizing strengths-based and trauma-informed approaches within the lens of interlocking systems that influence a child’s ability to thrive. To this end, she particularly enjoys intervening beyond the scope of the therapy room and evidence-based interventions that involve a child’s support network, such as trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT).

Dr. Molly is passionate about both training future clinicians and centering community in her work. She completed her doctoral training in Chicago at DePaul University, where she worked in primarily school and community settings with an emphasis on youth mentoring. Her shared background at Boys & Girls Club with Dr. Abrego further cemented her dedication to providing high quality services to families that are both accessible and affordable. Dr. Molly looks forward to partnering with local organizations for extended impact and utilizing her skills in program development and evaluation to offer tailored, innovative groups and workshops.

Outside of her professional roles, Dr. Molly is an avid fan of time spent in nature, thrifting, breakfast foods, word games, and Lions football.

Offering comprehensive psychological assessments and evidence-based therapies for children, adolescents, and families in Michigan. Discover support tailored to your needs today.

It was a privilege to be invited to Detroit Medical Center today to teach OB/GYN residents about medical trauma. It was an engaging discussion with residents sharing their experiences of second victim and vicarious trauma and find support. It was also wonderful to have with me!

I have a student who shared with me that she's doing family therapy and has read all the articles, watched the videos, and learned it all about therapy, but when she started actually doing therapy, all she could say was “this is not the same as the articles, this is hard.” Yet, this is where the real growth happens. Therapy and diagnostics are nuanced, requiring dedication and perseverance. It's not just about reading symptoms and checking them off, it's about building genuine relationships. And that's what makes it so powerful. You share things with your therapist that you haven't shared with anyone else! It's a bond that's real, intense, and life-changing. So, it's okay that it's not always perfect, and progress may not be linear. But with persistence and heart, the rewards are immeasurable. And sometimes, you even get to share cake recipes 😉.
