Graduate Counseling Intern:
Hollins Cuttino is a graduate level intern at Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary pursuing her MA in Counseling. She is in her final stages of clinical rotations before graduating in May 2023 and pursuing full licensure as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC).
Hollins believes that compassion, kindness, and truth in equal measure are the keys to unlocking authentic peace and wellness. She is passionate about creating safe spaces for children, teens, and adult individuals to first receive that kindness and truth, and then learn to offer it to themselves.
She uses an integrative and embodied approach that draws from theoretical approaches such as Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), and Person-Centered Therapy (PCT). When working with children ages 4-10, she utilizes Child Centered Play Therapy (CCPT) to help clients process their world through play at a developmentally appropriate level. Hollins has experience working with a broad range of presenting problems including anxiety, depression, trauma, childhood trauma and abuse, ADHD, emotion regulation issues, social skills development, childhood behavioral concerns, parenting, grief, and life transitions. If desired, Hollins is able to integrate spirituality and artistic elements into the therapeutic process.
In her free time, Hollins enjoys writing and listening to music, being outside with a great novel, and spending time with her husband and puppy.

Molly Mazeine
Being a kid is tough! Children are constantly experiencing big emotions, facing new situations, and figuring out how they fit into the world – and this can be messy! As caregivers, it can be challenging to fully understand how best to support your child as they navigate these obstacles. This can leave families feeling frustrated, discouraged, and struggling to connect. If you are feeling this way, know that you are not alone and what you are going through is not forever.
I work with both parents and their children (ages 3 and up) to address the underlying causes of behaviors, educate families on coping strategies, and promote healthy communication. When we work together, you will find a counseling environment that is warm, empathetic, supportive, and empowering. This is a collaborative space where you can be authentically yourself with no guilt or shame.
In practice, I primarily draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Play Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I also incorporate elements of art, movement, and mindfulness. Above all, I am person-centered, and I believe the key to a successful therapeutic journey is a positive relationship between therapist and client.
My background:
I am currently in the final year of my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. I will graduate in May 2024, and I will pursue licensure as a LCMHC-A. Southeast Psych is my final clinical placement, and I am beyond grateful to have the chance to work with you.
Prior to UNCC, I graduated with my B.A. in Psychology with Highest Distinction from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I also spent time working in Central Regional Hospital’s inpatient children’s unit, volunteering as a Guardian ad Litem advocate, and serving as a mental health counselor at KinderMourn.
Outside of the office, I am an avid half marathoner, a cold brew coffee fanatic, and a soon-to-be-dog-mom.
I hope that you feel safe, welcome, and unconditionally accepted here. I can’t wait to meet you!
