Hello, I’m Molly Connelly, owner of Mind Matters Counseling, LLC. My fascination for human behavior coupled with my passion for helping others started me on my career path. After graduating from Indiana University of Pennsylvania in 1997 with a major in Psychology and a minor in Sociology, I continued my studies at Duquesne University earning a master’s degree in Community Counseling.

My work experience has included many facets of mental and behavioral health. First, addictions counseling followed by diagnostics, assessments and crisis counseling in an emergency room setting. Later, gaining experience in an outpatient mental health agency prepared me to open my own practice in 2007.

I was fortunate to have a mentor during my formative years who was instrumental in helping me to develop my counseling skills and understand the significance of therapeutic alliance. The words of my friend and mentor will stay with me always…

“Life is still beautiful and good.”
