Molly Caradonna

Molly Caradonna joined UHS in 2019 and specializes in working with survivors of sexual assault and those who have experienced childhood and intrafamilial sexual abuse, intimate partner violence, eating disorders, non-suicidal self-injury, clinical perfectionism, and shame. In her role as the Director of Survivor Services, Caradonna collaborates with student leaders, campus stakeholders, community partners to advance UW’s work to prevent and respond to sexual and relationship violence.

Within the therapy room, Caradonna is passionate about untangling the complex web of internal, societal, and relational experiences that commonly impact our mental health. Self-compassion, authenticity, a collaborative approach, and humor are important approaches incorporated into the therapeutic process. Caradonna appreciates how the collegiate experience naturally presents opportunities for self-exploration and trying on new ways-of-being. “I am honored to share in this work with students and to witness their stories of vulnerability and growth,” she says.

Outside of work, Caradonna can be found near Madison’s lakes, enjoying live music, and fumbling her way through DIY projects.
