I work individually with teens, young adults, and adults to collaborate together to work through life's challenges.
I have experience in treatment of low self worth, perinatal and postpartum mental health, grief and loss, trauma and healing, anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges. We will work together using a variety of skills to create an individualized plan. I like to build on strengths that patients already possess but may not see.

Life can be overwhelming, it comes in waves. Sometimes we just need a little bit of support to help learn how to ride these waves. I work with individuals from all walks of life from children to the elderly. My goal is to come to unique strategies that help support you in surfing-these waves.

Does it feel like all you are doing is doggy paddling in the ocean, trying to keep your head above water? It feels like relationships are anchoring you down, and life events are giant waves pushing you under. Reaching out for help can feel scary. I hope to help you learn to surf the waves, implement coping skills, and feel in control of your life. Through therapy, you can learn to process and embrace your past and look forward to your future. I hope you can learn about yourself and start loving and accepting all parts of you. I am committed to providing affirming care and honoring those who come from marginalized identities.

I have helped many people from ages 12 to 80+ 'weather a personal crisis' regardless of circumstances; in addition, I have acquired special,training in working with returning military personnel in coping with their re-entry issues as well as helping them take 'next steps'. I am also an expert in career 'direction' as well as 'redirection', and regardless of age, I seek those people as clients who desire to become or retain an 'open mind'! I encourage 'self-esteem' as a precious commodity and promote one's own goals and personal values as their keys to happiness.

Prior clinical work focused on adults and teens with anxiety, depression, personality disorders, and chronic health conditions.
You're here, so I’m guessing that something doesn’t feel the way you thought it would. The excitement you had for your future has faded; you’re grieving change, feeling helpless facing the unknown; you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, worried, or hopeless-trapped in familiar patterns. The reasons we struggle are as diverse as our backgrounds and perspectives. But the desire to be known and heard-to hope for meaning, freedom, and joy-is universal. Reaching out for help can feel risky, and you may wonder if your struggles are worthy of someone else's time (and whether it will even help). You have taken a courageous first step.

Hello, I'm Paige Maddex, a licensed clinical social worker and mother of four living in Chesterton, IN. My journey in the field of social work began in the public school system as a school social worker.

My ideal client would be someone who is geared towards helping themselves and needing guidance on how to do so. Someone who has a grasp on the importance of the client putting in the work to truly help heal themselves but needing assistance ensuring they are doing things in a healthy and emotionally intelligent fashion. Talk therapy is very important for clients who even just want to come and vent, which I believe helps the mind unclutter.

I help children, teens, and adults reduce anxiety, improve focus, manage ADHD, heal from trauma, and build healthier relationships.
Do you struggle with being easily irritated, thoughts constantly running though your mind? Maybe you feel on edge for no clear reason, replaying past conversations or feeling stuck in patterns you can’t break. Maybe you forget things frequently or can't keep your commitments. Many people feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how to calm their mind—and you don’t have to manage it alone. Clients often come to me when they’re dealing with procrastination, rumination, depression, emotional overwhelm, or family stress. I provide practical tools, consistent follow-up, and a safe space to explore your experiences without judgment.

One of the most challenging things to do sometimes is to ask for help. Seeking out a therapist is no different; maybe even more challenging. In reaching out and embracing counseling, you could learn and develop new skills for dealing with stress, anxiety and depression, more effective ways of coping, and improve self-esteem.
