Molly Painschab, LCPC/LAC/FAC, is a mental health professional, addiction
strategist, behavior specialist, and certified international food addiction counselor with
experience coaching individuals and their family members through recovery
management and relapse prevention. Her background in addiction treatment while
working with individuals being supervised by the Department of Corrections, Child
Protective Services, and other Court-Ordered situations inform her solution-focused
and forward-thinking style. Molly is fuelled by her belief that recovery is possible. She
considers herself a ‘helper’, eager to encourage and support individuals and families
on their journey to mental and emotional wellness.
Her desire to see others succeed in life and determination to turn information into
action has contributed to her most recent online Food Recovery Management Group,
where she shepherds participants through addiction specific education, the processing
of new information, and skill-building in support of, and outside, of the traditional 12
Step approach.
Molly believes the only way to ensure everyone who needs help with food addiction
to get the treatment they need, is to unify professionals in the field and push the APA
and WHO to place diagnostic criteria in the DSM.
