02 · In Madison's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
Hi there, and thank you for taking the time to learn a little about me! I’m Madi and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC).
Over the past ten years, I have worked in crisis response, helping individuals and families navigate some of life's most challenging moments. I have also provided outpatient individual, couples, and group therapy, working with clients facing a variety of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, substance use, life transitions, and stress.
I believe that every person has a unique story, and I strive to create a space where you feel comfortable sharing yours. My approach is person-centered and trauma-informed, meaning I focus on building a genuine therapeutic relationship while recognizing the impact that life experiences can have on your thoughts, emotions, and relationships. I draw from evidence-based practices and tailor therapy to meet your individual needs, goals, and strengths. I am committed to providing an inclusive, affirming, and nonjudgmental environment for individuals of all identities, backgrounds, cultures, beliefs, and life experiences. I believe that everyone deserves to feel respected, valued, and supported in the therapeutic process.
My clients often describe me as approachable, direct, and supportive. My role is not to tell you what to do, but to work alongside you as you gain insight, develop new coping skills, and move toward the life you want to create. Whether you are facing a specific challenge or simply looking for support and personal growth, I am committed to helping you navigate life's challenges while fostering resilience, healing, and meaningful change.
Reaching out for support takes courage, and I would be honored to be part of your journey.

03 · What happens next
Madison practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Madison's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Madison at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Madison is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Madison.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
04 · Before you commit
Built from what Madison actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Madison's - Madison has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.
“How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”
Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.
“How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”
On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

Madison's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 7 Nov 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.
The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.

If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
