Pacifica Mental Health is operated by Mollie Yocum MSW, LCSW, LICSW. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and who has been providing therapy since 2012 and support for children and families navigating systems since 2007.

She has experience with clients across the lifespan and presenting with a wide variety of concerns, she is a systemic therapist, meaning she views each of us as existing within various systems - family systems, cultural systems, social systems, political systems - all of which impact who we are, how we think, and the ways we behave.

In session, you can expect it to feel structured, but relaxed. You will find that each session is set up similarly, but flexible with what is needed week to week. In sessions, she welcome humor and authenticity, challenging and respect. Clients typically express feeling able to show up as yourself in a judgement free space and end the session feeling more settled and hopeful.

Her theoretical framework is process oriented and she will work with you to build insight and understanding and build upon the strengths you already have to address the issues you are facing. Therefore you can expect an eclectic approach to fit your specific needs however, will typically draw from narrative, collaborative, attachment, and developmental theories of therapy.
