About Me

Hello! My name is Molly Hajjar.  I am a nationally certified recreational therapist (CTRS) and live with my family of five in "gorges" Ithaca, NY.

I received my B.S. in Therapeutic Recreation from the University of Connecticut, and a Master of Public Administration from Ohio University. 

With over 30 years of clinical and community-based experience, I have worked as a recreational therapist (RT) in many settings; schools, residential rehabilitation and skilled nursing facilities, non-profit organizations, and higher education. I had the honor of serving as a US Peace Corps Volunteer in Grenada, specializing in geriatric health and social services.  

I work with individuals, groups, schools, organizations, and municipalities to provide customized services to achieve health and wellness-based goals and outcomes throughout the lifespan.

My focus is on helping clients identify goals within the five health domains (physical, cognitive, social, emotional, and spiritual). Utilizing recreation and leisure activities as interventions to address areas of need, I support people in making positive health and lifestyle changes to achieve goals and improve overall quality of life!
