109 - Molly Painschab, Mental Health and Addiction Counselor

In today's episode I talk to Molly Painschab, a dual-licensed mental health and addiction counselor. Molly shares her own story of addiction and recovery and talks about how she is helping clients now and bringing more awareness to food addiction. Molly is a certified international food addiction counselor with experience coaching individuals and their family members through recovery management. 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 fueled 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.

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. Molly is currently working to expand the treatment and support options for individuals and their families who are seeking recovery by increasing online options, uniting international food addiction professionals, and educating anyone who is willing to listen.

Molly is currently part of an international research team in the early stages of auditing Food Addiction treatment.

She is a co-founder of the Food Addiction Professional Network and is a co-host of the Food Junkies Podcast. She, along with her podcast co-hosts Dr. Vera Tarman and Clarissa Kennedy, are gearing up to share the first Food Junkies Summit in October to be viewed on Facebook.

Molly is also a Board Member for the Food Addiction Institute.
