I help individuals and couples who are ready to feel more connection, confidence, and joy.

 

You can experience more fulfillment in your life and relationships! I’m here to support you.

 

I’m the type of therapist who provides deep therapeutic care and resources to work on outside of session.

 

You can be fully yourself with me; you’ll feel comfortable sharing your innermost thoughts and feelings without fear of being judged or rejected.

I also understand you want to get the most out of therapy.  I share podcasts, books, and worksheets with clients who are interested in going deeper outside of session.

 

My clients feel distant and disconnected, isolated and stuck, or anxious or not enough.

 

I find I’m especially helpful for couples who are having the same argument over and over, men who want to explore relationship and sex concerns, and women who are hard on themselves and anxious.

 

I use science-backed interventions which acknowledge that we each have (sometimes conflicting) thoughts & feelings that are trying to be heard.

 

You might have a part that feels anxious all the time or one that shuts down and avoids. Some of our parts are louder than others, some hide in the background.

I support individuals and couples build insight into the various “parts” showing up in their relationships, self-talk, reactions, and communication. As your therapist, I encourage you to safely explore difficult emotions, thoughts, and patterns.

 

When working with couples, I see myself as a loving conductor leading you to your goals.

 

Whether you’re stuck in a negative cycle or trying to repair your relationship after a big change or betrayal, I work to understand the cycle of the relationship and make both partners feel understood and seen. I aim to strengthen your communication and connection through modeling attunement and encouraging vulnerability.

I am committed to truly understanding you, your story, and where you’d like to go next. My hope is for all my clients to find healing and learn skills to thrive.

 

Most of my clients are young and middle-aged adults struggling with relationships, anxiety and depression, personal and family relationships, finding healing post-breakup, and experiencing difficult life changes.

 

Therapy can be intimidating! I strive to build meaningful relationships with my clients to help foster resilience and confidence. I recognize the courage it takes to engage in therapy and believe that no matter what brings you here, you are deserving of love and acceptance.

 

You deserve to live a life you’re proud of. You deserve fulfilling relationships. You deserve to experience peace and healing. I’m here to help you do that.

I welcome anyone regardless of their age, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, class, or ability.

 

On a personal note…

I am a self-proclaimed Trader Joe’s enthusiast, and lover of podcasts and puzzles. I enjoy cooking without a recipe, reading good books, and my daily walks. I’m a big fan of pop music, reality tv, and my cat, Spoon.

I am excited everyday by the work I do and feel lucky to be part of your journey.

What clients are saying about Madison

Madison is an incredible therapist. I had been looking for one for years and was struggling to find the right fit – until I found Madison. She is incredibly caring, thoughtful and diligent. I highly recommend her! (Google Business)

What clients are saying about Madison

Madison has been a truly wonderful therapist. I had never done 1:1 adult therapy before working with Madison and I’m so glad I started. She has provided an even more compassionate, safe, thoughtful environment than I could have hoped for. She has an innate ability to provide incredible insight while also being attentive and an active listener. Her comforting, warm presence allows me to share and ask questions openly and has helped me cover a wide range of topics and address some challenging areas that I had previously found difficult to broach. Our sessions feel more like conversations and I always walk away feeling heard and feeling more whole. I’d recommend Madison to anyone seeking 1:1 adult therapy. (Google Business)

What clients are saying about Madison

Madison Hamzy from Love Heal Grow is truly exceptional. Her compassion, empathy, and memory of our conversations from session to session make each meeting very impactful. Every time we finish a session, I leave feeling deeply understood and valued. Working with someone as skilled as Madison has given me the right tools to navigate my life. Whether you’re new to therapy or returning after a break, I wholeheartedly recommend reaching out to Madison.(Google Business)
