About Molly

Molly Violante is a nationally registered, licensed Creative Arts Therapist in New York. She has over 15 years of experience working with individuals in both clinical and educational settings. Molly's background in psychology and art led her to pursue art therapy and earn a Master's degree in Art Therapy from The George Washington University. After graduation, Molly began working at local agencies in WNY, providing individual, family, and group psychotherapy.

​

Molly currently works in private practice in Buffalo, NY, providing psychotherapy services to adolescents, adults, and families. She is formally trained in trauma-informed art therapy, solution-focused therapy, and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), an evidence-based approach that helps reduce trauma-related symptoms as well as symptoms of anxiety and depression stemming from distressing life experiences.

Molly also integrates techniques from Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness, and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) to create a personalized, client-centered approach tailored to each individual’s unique needs. She believes that fostering a trusting, safe, compassionate, and collaborative therapeutic space supports healing, emotional growth, and lasting change.
