Trauma & PTSD, Women's Mental Health

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor (LPC-S) in Oklahoma and a Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) Practitioner with a passion for helping individuals and families navigate life's most difficult seasons. My professional background includes years of work in nonprofit and community-based organizations where I served individuals impacted by justice involvement, homelessness, family instability, and complex trauma.

Throughout my career, I have worked with teens, adults, and families facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, family conflict, and major life transitions. My approach to therapy is direct, authentic, and collaborative. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy, while integrating trauma-informed principles to help clients build practical tools for lasting change.

Hi, I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who enjoys working with children, teens, and women in Oklahoma City. I believe therapy should feel like a safe and supportive place where you can be yourself, talk openly, and feel truly heard.

I use an integrative approach to therapy, pulling from different techniques depending on what works best for each person. I especially enjoy helping kids, teens, and women work through stress, big life changes, relationship struggles, and difficult emotions. Some of the most rewarding moments in my work are seeing clients realize their strengths and begin to feel more hopeful about where they are headed. I graduated from Oklahoma State University with a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and earned my Master's in Counseling from Mid-America Christian University. goes here

Hi, my name is Madisen. I graduated with my M.Ed. in Professional Counseling at the University of Oklahoma. I love working with all kinds of individuals but really enjoy working with people that have experienced trauma. I also love working with individuals that experience neurodivergence, chronic pain and chronic illness, life transitions, anxiety, and depression.

I use an integrated approach when working with clients, but my core modality is Narrative Therapy. I believe we all have a story to tell, with parts to rewrite, and I would love to be a part of that process. I am easygoing, but I am straightforward and will be direct, with respect to your autonomy. I believe therapy is a collaborative process where safety and trust are the foundation.

Starting therapy can feel challenging, which is why I prioritize creating a safe, welcoming environment where you feel invited to express yourself authentically and explore your lived experiences freely. My approach to therapy is deeply relational and existential. Together, we explore the meaning you make of your experiences, recognize your unique needs, and consider how you might move forward in ways that align with your values and goals.

I am LGBTQIA+, kink/BDSM, and ENM/poly-affirming. I work with adults experiencing a wide variety of concerns including trauma, PTSD, grief, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, infidelity, desire discrepancy, and identity exploration. I also enjoy supporting those who experience ongoing stress or trauma related to their work, including first responders, healthcare workers, and mental health providers.

I am proud of the many roles I have held in my life which include educator, victim advocate, mom, wife, and now therapist. I put my heart into everything I do. I am excited to partner with people on their transformation journey by offering a caring, safe space to heal. My heart is to work with people on getting out of generational cycles of trauma, the deep pit of declining mental health, and those that feel out of control in their own minds. Life is meant to be lived to the fullest, with no chains holding us back.

I utilize an integrative approach to therapy, adjusting based on each client's individual needs. Evidence-based therapies I incorporate include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused, and Emotion-Focused therapy.

Life can sometimes feel confusing, heavy, or isolating, especially when you feel like you have to carry everything on your own. Together, we can create a space where you feel heard, supported, and encouraged as you move toward the life you want. I'm here to walk alongside you through life's twists and turns, honoring your story, helping you reconnect with your inner wisdom, and reminding you that you are far more resilient than your inner critic may lead you to believe.

My approach is person-centered and integrative, drawing from CBT, DBT, existential, narrative, and humanistic therapies. My goal is to empower you to make intentional choices, face challenges with courage, and approach every part of yourself with compassion.iption goes here
