Our roots.

Hi! I’m Molly Westfall, owner and founder of Roots to Branches Counseling Services.

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor. In 2023, I founded Roots to Branches Counseling Services with a vision of providing nurturing, specialized, and evidence-based care to children and families. Over the past three years, our practice has both grown and deepened, expanding services while remaining grounded in our commitment to thoughtfully support families—even in the most complex and challenging circumstances.

The heart of our work is reflected in our name: Roots to Branches. “Roots” represent an individual’s inner strengths, cultural identity, life experiences, intergenerational patterns, and unique neurobiology. “Branches” symbolize growth, aspirations, potential, and authentic self-expression. Our role is to help bridge the space between the two—supporting each child and family in moving from roots to branches..

Child Therapy:

We specialize in working with children ages 2 to 12 years old. We have extensive training in the treatment of childhood anxiety, anger, opposition and defiance, sensory sensitivities, life transitions, and trauma. We collaborate fully and thoroughly with parents, keeping them informed throughout the duration of treatment. We facilitate an atmosphere that children are often eager to attend, and reluctant to leave. Simultaneously, we are committed to ensuring parents feel engaged, involved, and supported throughout the process.
