Hi! I'm Madelyn and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida. I received my Masters from Florida State University and have been helping individuals for 6+ years. I have experience helping clients with depression, anxiety, those diagnosed with personality disorders, concerns related to self-esteem, and coping with life challenges. I am here to support you on the courageous journey that begins by seeking to better your mental health
In our first session, we will discuss what brings you to therapy and I will gather psychosocial history. Together, we explore expectations, as well as identify your specific challenges and goals for treatment. This will help to identify options and strategies you can use to reach those goals, including what can be done in the "now".
I provide an environment that is nonjudgmental, empowering, and honest. I will strive to help you in discovering, or perhaps rediscovering, your own strengths.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a type of psychotherapy that can help individuals learn to manage intense emotions, cope with challenging situations, an improve their relationships. DBT combines opposite ideas, such as acceptance and change, to teach individuals that it is possible to achieve both goals. DBT focuses on helping individuals accept the reality of their lives and behaviors, as well as helping them learn to change their lives, including behaviors that are unhelpful.
