I specialize in treating trauma using a blend of parts work, experiential techniques, somatic experiencing, and psychoeducation. My approach is designed to help individuals rediscover self-love and heal from the deep-seated impacts of trauma. Clients who work with me often find relief from overwhelming feelings of guilt, shame, perfectionism, and anger - all of which are frequently rooted in internalized trauma.

I love working with people who recognize a need in their lives and reach out for input and assistance in defining and implementing ways to fulfill these needs. Anything from simply wanting someone to talk to outside of family and friends, to finding ways to cope with anxieties, managing emotions, exploring issues, repairing relationship damage, solving problems and beginning healthier lifestyle patterns.

I am working towards EMDR certification and have training in IFS, Play Therapy, Theraplay, and Polyvagal Theory.
My work is rooted in both clinical expertise and intuitive care, supporting highly sensitive individuals in reconnecting with their inner wisdom and emotional balance. Most often, clients come to me when they're processing through trauma, trying to address anxiety and/or panic symptoms, or needing support in navigating a challenging relationship, and want to live a more vibrant and aligned life. Most people I work with are usually at a point where they recognize that something feels stuck, and they want to make a change but need support building momentum and taking the next step.

My ideal client would struggle with diagnoses such as anxiety, depression, or mood-related issues. This client would be self-motivated and have identified goals that are being held back or complicated by their mental health issues. The client would be able to identify areas that are strengths and weaknesses for themselves and would be willing to put forth the effort that is growth and change. Also, this client would be open to new and different suggestions for coping strategies or ways of thinking about difficulties they may experience in order to learn and grow.

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.

I am trained in trauma-informed approaches: Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) and Internal Family Systems ( IFS).
I’m so glad you’re here. I’ve been in practice for eight years, supporting clients through healing, growth, and the ups and downs of being human. In our work together, I bring curiosity, compassion, humor, and my own humanness (mistakes and all) because therapy is a relationship, not a performance. My approach to relational therapy focuses on connection and understanding the patterns that show up in your life.

For the Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) and Empath, the world can be an overwhelming place. These individuals are “super sensing” - their central nervous systems process sensory and energetic information more deeply than the average person. Years of taking in this level of input without awareness and compassion can lead to symptoms of anxiety, depression, patterns of codependency, and unresolved trauma. Your heightened capacity to absorb information does not have to hinder your personal growth & well-being. I specialize in partnering with HSP’s & Empaths as they process traumatic experiences and create positive change in their lives.

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. After having my children, I transitioned to working as a home-based therapist for child welfare, where I was eventually promoted to a supervisory position. After five years in that role, I decided to start my own practice, driven by my passion for helping people understand themselves and identify their goals.

I utilize DBT, ACT, IFS, psychodynamic and liberation psychology.
Therapy can create safe ground to weave the body and mind. Providing presence and compassion to the body, our minds can access awareness of thoughts, emotions, and subconscious beliefs that shape our reality. It can also access infinite knowledge, strength and resources. We experience unity, interconnectedness and wholeness, we live fully, which is our birthright.

I’ve been through it — and I’m still growing through it. As a therapist who also values therapy, I’ve learned that self-care goes far beyond bubble baths and face masks. Sometimes, true self-care means giving yourself permission to talk, feel, and heal in a safe space. I became a caregiver at an early age and later lost my brother to addiction. I often wish he’d had a space where he could share his inner world without judgment. That wish has shaped my passion for creating that kind of space for others to feel valued, seen and heard for who they are beneath the pain. A space where they are empowered to share their own inner voice.

You may be used to holding it all together on the outside - while internally feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or unsure of who you are or what you need. Maybe you're the "strong one" for others, yet feel disconnected from yourself. If you’re feeling stuck in patterns, navigating identity, or struggling in relationships, you don’t have to do it alone. I work with adults and teens navigating anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and identity exploration, including those within the LGBTQ+ community. My approach is collaborative, affirming, and grounded in creating a space where you can feel understood, supported, and more connected to self.
