My Approach to Helping
It’s so nice to meet you. My name is Madeline and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Boise, ID.
I specialize in working with young adults and teenagers who are dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, and identity development issues. I am especially passionate about working with people who identify as women and LGBTQ+ individuals who have experienced interpersonal trauma.
I use a primarily person-centered approach to counseling where I focus on the relationship between the therapist and client as well as viewing my clients as a whole person rather than a set of symptoms. I use existential therapy to look at your personal philosophy and values to help you work towards improved mental health. I also will thrown in some Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) interventions to assist you to examine your thoughts, behaviors, and emotions to make real-time changes. I also practice Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR) to assist individuals in reprocessing traumatic memories an experiences in order to work towards more positive and helpful core beliefs to reduce distress and cope with trauma long-term.
