Madison Steffey
Hi, I’m Madison! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and the owner of a private therapy practice. I provide a warm, supportive space for children, teens, adults, and families to feel heard, understood, and empowered to grow.
I bring consistency, empathy, and clarity to the therapeutic relationship, and I work collaboratively with clients to ensure therapy feels supportive, purposeful, and aligned with their goals.
My approach is rooted in trauma-informed care and evidenced based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Parent Child Interaction Therapy, , Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness, and dialectical behavioral therapy.
First session
In your first session, you can expect a relaxed and welcoming environment where we’ll begin getting to know each other. I’ll ask questions about what brings you to therapy, your goals, and any relevant background information, but there’s no pressure to share more than what you are comfortable with. This is also a time for you to ask questions, learn about my approach, and decide if we’re a good fit. Together, we will start to identify your needs and discuss how we can move forward in a way that feels supportive to you.
Strengths
I bring strengths such as a trauma-informed perspective, a focus on connection and trust, and a commitment to support meaningful and lasting change.
Ideal clients
I’m best positioned to support children, adolescents, and adults who are navigating emotional or behavioral challenges and are open to building stronger, more connected relationships. Many of the clients I work with are experiencing anxiety, stress, life transitions, or difficulties with emotional regulation, and are looking for practical tools alongside a supportive space to better understand themselves or their child.
Treatment methods
Parent-Child Interaction (PCIT)
I have 6 years of experience providing Parent–Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), an evidence-based approach designed to strengthen the relationship between caregivers and young children while addressing challenging behaviors.
Trauma-Informed Care
I practice from a trauma-informed care perspective, recognizing how past experiences can shape a person’s emotions, behaviors, and sense of safety. My approach emphasizes creating a supportive, predictable environment where clients feel respected, heard, and in control of their healing process.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I use DBT to help clients better understand and manage intense emotions, cope with distress, and respond to difficult situations more effectively.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I incorporate mindfulness-based therapy to help clients develop greater awareness of their thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations in the present moment. Through guided practices and practical tools, I support clients in learning how to respond to challenges with intention rather than reactivity.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT to teach clients how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected.
