Mollie Player is a licensed mental health counselor, a self-help writer and a passionate advocate for practical, solution-focused depression treatment. Her goal is to help people perform feats of great strength—feats like achieving personal goals, managing mental health challenges … maybe even finding inner peace. She writes in a lighthearted way about the heavy work of mental health, sharing evidence-based ways to gain strength and get it done.

Her self-help books include Fights You’ll Have After Having a Baby: A Self-help Story, The Naked House: Five Principles for a Minimalist Home, The Power of Acceptance: One Year of Mindfulness and Meditation and We Get Better: 48 Treatment Options for Chronic Depression.

A light-hearted chronicle of her own adventures with depression, Thirty Cures in Thirty Years, is coming soon. Player is also the sole author of an educational book series called School in a Book: A K-12 Review.
