What is therapy like? What does a typical session with you look like?

A therapy session with me is collaborative, supportive, and tailored to your needs. We begin by exploring what brings you to therapy and what your goals are, creating a safe space where you can be heard without judgment. I combine active listening with practical tools and evidence-based strategies, drawing from CBT, ACT, DBT, ERP, and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) when appropriate. Sessions may include processing emotions, psychoeducation, learning coping skills, exploring patterns in thoughts and behaviors, or working through trauma.

Life’s challenges—anxiety, depression, stress, and difficult relationships—can leave you feeling stuck. While these struggles can feel overwhelming, meaningful change is possible. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor at Nourish Within, working with teens, college students, young professionals, and adults. I specialize in eating disorders, body image concerns, trauma, and mood and anxiety challenges. My passion for this work comes from both professional training and lived experience, including my own journey with an eating disorder and depression, which allows me to approach therapy with compassion and understanding. My approach is warm, collaborative, and strengths-based, integrating CBT, ACT, DBT, ERP, and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). ART uses guided eye movements to support trauma relief, helping the brain process distressing experiences—many clients noticing improvement in as few as one session. I also provide psychoeducation and support for families. I have experience across residential, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient levels of care, giving me insight into how mental health affects both daily functioning and overall quality of life. If you’re feeling stuck or ready for change, I’m here to help. Together, we can work toward clarity, confidence, and a life aligned with your values.

Most of my sessions are collaborative and client-led, meaning you will guide the topics, pace, and depth of our sessions. If you have no idea what to talk about, I will gently offer ideas, and this usually leads to deeper discussion. I believe you are the expert on your own life, and my role as a therapist is to facilitate a space of acceptance while offering further insight. I will also provide psychoeducation and help you develop specific mindfulness or grounding skills. Ultimately, I want to empower you to create a better life for yourself and live in line with your values. The first couple of sessions can feel a little more question-based as I gather information and get to know you. The first few sessions will include a review of practice policies and gathering background information about what's bringing you in. Typically, by the third session, appointments will feel more "standard" and focused on one or two topics or anything relevant to you.

Hi! I am Madeline, an associate mental health counselor in Washington State. I primarily work with adults with trauma or PTSD, particularly young adults and LGBTQ+ individuals. I also support individual clients who practice ENM, are navigating life transitions, relationship challenges, burnout, low self-esteem, anxiety, grief, or depression. No matter what brings you to therapy, I will empower you to make sense of your world and experiences while supporting you in creating a path toward meaningful healing and connection. I see clients in my office in Pioneer Square in Seattle on Thursdays and Fridays and also offer flexible online availability for anyone in Washington. Please note that for in-person appointments, stairs are required to access the office. Outside of work, I enjoy spending my time in nature, especially paddleboarding with my dog. I also enjoy more grounded hobbies like reading, puzzles, coloring, writing, and caring for houseplants.

Clients and peers have said time in session is raw, honest, authentic, and with candid examples of human-ness. I say it's rooted in a connection of our being completely human together, and yet still professional, principled, and evidence-based/informed.

I wholeheartedly believe in the process of authentic connection. With a multicultural background, I recognizes each person is uniquely multifaceted. My approach to therapy is to meet you wherever you’re at in life, get curious about you, and then serve as YOUR team to journey alongside you. The goal is to provide a safe empathetic space where you are respected and honored, so that internal self-explorations can begin, and to foster creative evolutions towards intentionality, self-discovery, self-empowerment, and healing. The focus is your growth & thriving towards being the best version(s) of yourself that you like to be. With 8 years’ experience in community mental health, psychiatric facility, and prison systems altogether, I have supported youths & adults with assessments, skills training, and therapy for individual, family, and group. I utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Focused Therapy, EMDR, parts work, existential & person-centered insights to address a wide range of concerns. I work towards breaking the stigma of mental health one conversation at a time. I also enjoy traveling, reading, tea, video games, and adore hedgehogs.

In my practice, I integrate interventions from various evidence-based treatments to help you in your growth and healing process. I utilize Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Play Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, as well as Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) and Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy (EAET) for Chronic Pain.

I provide counseling and therapy services to children and teens ages (9-14 y/o), adults, and parents. We all develop unhelpful patterns that often hold us back and can harm us instead of helping us. When this happens it’s helpful to have someone we can talk to who listens and supports us without judgment.

Sessions with me are warm, supportive, and tailored to you. I understand that starting therapy can feel uncomfortable or even intimidating, so my first priority is creating a space where you feel safe, heard, and respected. During our first few sessions, I’ll take time to get to know you, understand what brought you to therapy, and learn what you hope to gain from our work together. There’s no pressure to share everything at once—we’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable for you. As we continue, our sessions will be collaborative and focused on your individual needs and goals. Together, we’ll explore challenges, identify patterns, build practical coping skills, and recognize your strengths. You can expect compassion, honesty, encouragement, and a judgment-free space where you can be yourself while working toward meaningful and lasting change.

As a LMSW, I am passionate about creating a supportive and welcoming space where you can feel comfortable being yourself and talking openly about the challenges you’re facing. I have experience helping individuals navigate substance use, anxiety, grief, life transitions, and other mental health concerns. My approach is compassionate, trauma-informed, and focused on meeting you where you are. Together, we can identify your goals, build practical coping skills, and develop strategies that support meaningful change. I believe therapy is a collaborative process, and you don’t have to have everything figured out before you begin. My goal is to help you feel heard, supported, and empowered as you work toward greater emotional well-being and a healthier, more fulfilling life.

As an experienced Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC/LCPC) with over 15 years in the field, I provide a clear, actionable path forward for adults navigating life’s most complex challenges. Having worked at every level of mental health intervention—from high-stakes hospital crisis units to long-term therapy—I bring a unique, "all-levels" perspective to your care. My goal is to help you break free from being "stuck" and move toward a more functional, satisfying life. My therapeutic approach is a balanced integration of three powerful modalities: Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for tangible coping skills, Psychodynamic Counseling for deep insight into life patterns, and Person-Centered Therapy to ensure your goals remain the priority. I specialize in Men’s Mental Health, Anxiety, Depression, and Anger Management, offering direct and energetic guidance tailored to your specific needs. Whether you are managing ADHD, recovering from substance use, or navigating a major life transition, I provide the tools and clarity necessary to handle life's ups and downs with confidence. Currently accepting new clients via secure telehealth in Illinois, Missouri, and California, I am dedicated to helping you gain the insight and resilience needed to create a future you are excited to live.

I have worked at every level of intervention in mental health. From ongoing, maintenance counseling to helping people struggling with life and death in the community and in the hospital settings. I use person-centered counseling, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and psychodynamic counseling modalities. Sometimes, I use them individually but mostly I use a balance of all three modalities. I enjoy helping clients gain insight into their life, their life patterns and to identify the best ways for the client to create a more functional and satisfying life.

I have you fill out intake paperwork, find out what you need, and we go from there.

I have 27 years of full-time experience in therapy as an Army/Federal prison/hospital Chaplain (Major, Reserve and Department of Justice / Federal Bureau of Prisons, Retired), in missions, and in youth ministry. I have the Basic Certificate in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR, for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). I am an American Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (AAMFT) Professional Member (11/25 renewal?) and am ordained by the Vineyard USA. I was endorsed by the National Association of Evangelicals' Chaplains Commission for 24 years until I retired.

Sessions with me are collaborative, conversational, and tailored to you. I want therapy to feel like a space where you can be honest, feel understood, and work at a pace that feels comfortable. We’ll spend time understanding what brings you to therapy, identifying patterns that may be getting in the way, and developing practical tools that fit your life and goals. You can expect a judgment-free environment, thoughtful questions, and support balanced with gentle challenge when it can help you grow. My goal is for you to leave sessions feeling heard, understood, and with greater clarity about your next steps.

I am accepting new clients, specializing in women and young adults. As young adults, you have it harder than ever: you’re dealing with a high cost of living, having to live with your parents longer than you’d prefer, poor job prospects, uncertainty about your career, struggling to make and maintain friendships, increasing student debt, as well as the exposure to social media and the high expectations you develop of yourself as a result. Then you have the pandemic that affected so many of you during high school and/or college, causing you to miss the big events that many were looking forward to. I have worked with many young adults over the years and have seen first hand the stress and anxiety that all of this causes your generation. Allow me to help you navigate through these uncertain times and provide you with the tools to help you forge a path forward. Change isn’t easy, and it can be scary, but it is necessary in order to move forward. Together we can work to identify and overcome the obstacles in your life that are preventing you from reaching your potential and realizing your goals. I can help you gain insight and develop healthy coping skills so that you may experience personal growth. Contact me today for a free 15 minute consultation to see if we would be a good fit to work together.

Sessions with me are collaborative in nature. In the initial intake, I spend time getting to know the couple or individual better, learning about their story, previous physical/mental health history, and discussing with them the goals and treatment areas that we can work on. Subsequent sessions are a combination of checkin's on how things are going, if the tools utilized in session are working outside of session, and exploring/experiencing new ways of connecting or interpersonal growth through interventions done together in session.
