Hi! I’m Madeline. I specialize in helping teens and adults make meaning out of challenges and loss, navigate transitions, and deepen their relationships with others. Most of us encounter some form of trauma or loss in our lives, and these challenges can impact our mood, our sense of self, and our relationship with the world around us. I provide a warm, collaborative space for clients to uncover and re-frame unhelpful beliefs, develop skills to cope with anxiety and depression, and set helpful boundaries with those around them.

Whether you need support through a challenging life transition, you hope to address recent and/or past trauma, or you'd like to understand yourself better, I will bring an engaged and empathic attitude to our work together. I work with a trauma informed lens, and draw from various theories and approaches including but not limited to Psychodynamic, Attachment, Ego State Therapy/Parts Work, and Cognitive Behavioral. I also offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy. I'm LGBTQIA+ and social justice allied, and have experience with & enjoy working with folks with different backgrounds from my own.

Have you ever been lost in a dark forest? You may have felt helpless, out of control, very scared, or confused. Perhaps you suffer from anxiety, depression, and grief. If so you need someone to hold your hand and walk with you until you get home safely. When you are going through very painful suffering, your brokenness can lead you to discover how your childhood wound might affect your self-esteem and your relationships. I like to work with adult women who have been abused as a child, battered women (intimate partner abuse), and young adult women with childhood wounds.

You already possess the inner resources and capacity needed to heal. At certain times, however, we all need help gaining access to that nurturing capacity: a kind of 'Assisted Self Discovery.' When our minds, bodies, & emotions are all supported together in a safe process of present-oriented exploration, the potential for change is remarkable. I utilize an eclectic approach. Each session is tailored to your unique needs & personal goals. Long-lasting symptom relief/decreased suffering & achieving a more fulfilling life are priorities that guide my work with clients.

Welcome! My practice is dedicated to helping clients live with more ease, connection, and joy.

The work I do is rooted in helping clients cultivate more loving relationships with themselves and others and find deeper fulfillment in the here and now.

My clients are individual adults and couples often experiencing depression, anxiety, work or life stress, and relationship challenges. I am LGBTQ+ affirming. As a therapist, I am very interactive, warm, nonjudgmental and confident in my abilities. I often say that the most courageous people I have ever met are the ones who walk through my office door. Asking for help in a time of need takes great strength and vulnerability. (You can find me on Instagram & TikTok @tanadoestherapy).
