I like for the client to lead the way in treatment, while I act as a facilitator and guide to assess and assist individuals in learning to make their lives more manageable.

Hi! I'm Madison Braid. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Colorado. I specialize in treating a range of clinical presentations including anxiety, depression, mood instability, PTSD and other trauma-related disorders, stress, social issues, and family conflict. I love working with people across the lifespan and have significant experience treating children, teenagers, and young adults. I strive to create a welcoming, safe, and secure space where my clients feel comfortable discussing some of the harder questions and issues in life. I want each of my sessions to feel collaborative and productive where my clients leave with something tangible and concrete to start creating the life they want to live that day.

The journey through life can be hard! However, with learning some life tools and skills to help you regulate your thoughts and feelings that journey can be made a lot easier. For over 15 years, I have enjoyed helping people in the private practice setting develop these tools to navigate life's journey more efficiently. My passion is to help empower people to thrive and find their resiliency regardless of the challenging circumstance they might be experiencing. I have advanced training in health psychology and thus work with individuals and families coping with medical illnesses such as diabetes, breast cancer, postpartum depression and IBS. Additionally, I also counsel adults and families with general mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, and attention difficulties. My warm and compassionate care create the perfect environment for growth while using strength-based and evidenced based treatment interventions. We all are aware of the importance of physical fitness and spend a lot of time getting physically fit. How about mental fitness? We are finding that people need to devote time to their emotional wellness too which can help us manage stress and life conflicts in healthier ways. Yes, mental fitness is just as important. So take some time to learn to develop some tools to promote emotional health for you.

I have obsessive-compulsive (OCD) myself and have trained many of the professionals you will meet in this field. I know that obsessive-compulsive conditions are highly specific to each individual. I first get to know how your OCD works, then select from the tools I have developed and trained others in over the past decades. In a few weeks, we will have a treatment plan in place and be making progress.

As a Somatic Counselor, I work from an understanding of how our thoughts and emotions are necessarily intertwined with our body - internally with brain wiring and externally through behaviors that communicate when words do not. My focus is challenging emotional states and helping adults, partners, and families resolve what the resulting behaviors may be trying to communicate. Specifically, I work with anxiety, ptsd, depression, anger, health crises, fear of death or abandonment, low self-esteem, and life losses. My methods are whole-brained, linking both left-brain talk therapy and right-brain expressive therapies (Family Constellation work, Hakomi Experiential Therapy, SandPlay, and expressive exercises), CBT & PSYCH-K core belief work to transform negative belief patterns, as well as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) and BrainSpotting to process traumatic life experiences. Together we choose methods that feel like a fit to meet your circumstance and goals. Ultimately, empowerment is the key.

I hold a Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and specialize in somatic psychotherapy, grief work, and relationship therapy, offering both in-person and online sessions. You may be arriving here feeling burned out, overwhelmed, untethered, or caught in something that keeps repeating no matter how much insight you have. Maybe you are grieving, moving through a faith transition, carrying abandonment wounds, adjusting to pregnancy or postpartum, or finding that your relationships are asking more of you than you know how to give right now. Often, people come seeking therapy because something in them knows they cannot keep carrying their pain the same way. I want therapy to be a place where you do not have to perform wellness, explain yourself away, or rush toward resolution before something has been understood. I see people as beautifully complex and I do not believe our struggles exist in isolation. The pain we carry is shaped through relationships, family systems, culture, survival and the larger worlds we have had to adapt to. Because of that, I respect both your inner life and the context surrounding it. My work is rooted in a willingness to go there with people into grief, contradiction, conflict, identity, longing and the truths that often live underneath adaptation. Together, we might slow down, listen to what your symptoms, patterns, or protective strategies are trying to hold and notice what is happening in the room between us. We may talk, track sensation, use metaphor, or reflect on past experiences. My hope is that therapy becomes a space where more of you can come into view, not just the parts that have learned how to get by. I also provide relationship therapy and couples counseling for partners who want to interrupt painful patterns and strengthen their foundation. Throughout couples therapy, I help each person begin to name the dynamic underneath the dynamic: what keeps happening, what it may be protecting, how it was formed, and what is needed now to create something different. I’m interested in helping you understand the pattern clearly enough that you can begin relating to it rather than getting stuck in the same cycles of hurt and disconnection. My thesis explored the lived experience of childhood abandonment and how early relational ruptures can shape identity, embodiment and meaning-making. My work is also informed by depth psychology, mythology, anthropology, ecology and the expressive arts. I became a therapist because I believe the most difficult and unresolved parts of life are often where the most important things are waiting—not because pain is beautiful, but because what has been buried, fragmented, or protected often carries its own intelligence. My role is to help create the conditions where something more honest, connected, and sustaining can begin to emerge.

If you're reading this, chances are something has felt off for a while — in your relationship, in yourself, or in a life that looks good from the outside but feels harder than it should. We understand that experience. And we know that the women who find their way here are rarely looking for advice, tools, or reassurance. They're looking for a space where they can speak honestly — about what's actually happening in their relationship, what they're afraid of, what they've tried, what they're uncertain about — without having to manage anyone else's reaction while they do it. Our sessions are different things on different days. Sometimes celebratory, sometimes quiet and reflective, other times sad or heavy. But they're always unhurried. There's no agenda to push you toward a particular decision or outcome. What there is, is genuine curiosity — about your history, your patterns, and the connections between the two that often go unexamined for years. What we find, again and again, is that the most meaningful shifts happen when a woman begins to see the thread between her past experiences and how she shows up today — in her relationship, at work, with her family. Those moments of recognition — when something that has felt confusing or shameful or simply stuck suddenly makes sense in a new way — are where real change begins. Not just understanding it intellectually, but feeling it differently. We work at that level. It takes time, and we don't rush it. But the women who do this work with us describe changes that are quieter and more durable than what they expected — a steadier sense of themselves, relationships that feel less reactive, a mind that doesn't run on overdrive. If something here resonates, we'd welcome the chance to talk. A free 20-minute consultation is a low-pressure way to get a sense of whether work with us feels like the right fit. You can schedule with us online at www.womenscounselingcenterdenver.com or call us at 303-370-1399.

My approach blends cognitive, somatic, narrative, and mindfulness-based therapies. I look at how your nervous system learned to protect you, what it still needs, and how to build new ways of responding that do not cost you your health or identity. I focus on teaching effective tools and techniques you can use to feel more focused, calm, and in control. I will listen carefully and take you seriously, help you notice patterns, challenge the stories that keep you trapped, and translate insight into real change. We will move at a pace that respects your nervous system. LGBTQ+, kinkBDSM, polyamorous, and ethically non-monogamous friendly.

You’re someone who holds a lot—responsibilities, emotions, and maybe even the weight of others’ expectations. On the outside, it might look like you have it together, but inside, you may feel anxious, disconnected, or worn down by self-criticism. You might be navigating relationship struggles, old wounds that still show up, or stuck patterns that don’t always make sense. You’ve worked hard to keep it all in, but lately, it feels heavier—like you can’t keep carrying it alone. Maybe you’ve tried therapy before, but it didn’t quite fit. You’re looking for something real—lasting change, not just surface-level fixes. My approach is grounded, compassionate, and evidence-based. I work with people experiencing anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues , multi-substance use, eating disorders, high-achieving perfectionism, relationship issues, trauma, and PTSD. Together, we’ll explore what’s been weighing on you—so you can move forward feeling more whole, connected, and free.
