Hi there! I'm Madelin. Do you feel unmotivated, mentally blocked or being pulling in different directions? Is it difficult to manage overwhelming feelings of anxiety and panic? Do you have difficulty overcoming substances or a traumatic event? Do you need someone provide an empathic ear? I am highly motivated to assist you in achieving your goals and processing relational issues in a safe and caring environment. It is imperative for you to feel supported and understood through your journey. I have had a variety of clinical experience with different populations from children to the elderly. I am also fluently bilingual in English and Spanish.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Orlando, Florida with over 25 years of experience. I absolutely love what I do and take pride in helping my clients flourish and grow. I love helping teens and young adults (and their families) struggling with life transitions, anxiety, depression and the pressure and stress of everyday life. I am calm, easy going and want to help my clients become the best version of themselves.

Currently I provide therapy for my clients via Teletherapy and have evening hours available Monday through Friday from 9 am to 7 pm and Saturday from 9am-2pm. I have been providing counseling services for 20 years. I take a holistic approach to providing therapy with an emphasis on mind and body connection. I believe that by working towards creating a balance in every area of your life you can move towards living a healthier life.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of Florida. I moved to Florida from Nashville but have roots in Mississippi and Virginia. I graduated from the University of Phoenix in April of 2014 with a Bachelors of Science in Health Administration. I used that degree to enroll at Capella University where I earned a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in March of 2021. My passion for counseling started when I was very young. In my teenage years I participated in groups that worked to prevent teen suicide. This interest eventually worked its way into my adult life as a career in the mental health field. My first position after graduating with my Masters was assisting individuals whose substance abuse lead to involvement in the criminal justice system. Building on that, I also have experience with Veterans' issues, grief and loss, eating disorders, LGBTQ+, relationships, depression, anxiety, social fears and many other mental health diagnoses. I don’t believe that there is a one size fits all approach to an individual’s mental health. I use a wide range of techniques to best help my clients to achieve the goals they set forth during their time in treatment by developing strategies and coping skills to achieve optimal mental health.

In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by constant demands and limited space for personal reflection. Therapy offers a unique opportunity to pause, take stock, and reconnect with yourself. It’s a space where you can become more aware of your emotions, re-examine your choices, and move toward greater clarity and peace of mind. As a therapist, I am committed to providing a supportive, non-judgmental environment where you can safely explore your feelings and experiences. My approach is client-centered and active, helping you uncover new perspectives and broaden your options. Together, we’ll work on overcoming doubt, managing difficult emotions, and building resilience in the face of life’s challenges. I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and young adults, supporting them through emotional turmoil, family stressors, and communication issues that can impact their well-being. Whether you’re struggling with personal challenges or relationship difficulties, I’m here to help you break through roadblocks and find a positive, affirming path forward. We all want a life of significance and balance—and I believe that with the right guidance, these are not just dreams but achievable realities. Happiness isn’t a mysterious force; it’s the result of learning and practicing skills that anyone can develop. With my support, you’ll gain confidence, emotional resilience, and the tools you need to create a more fulfilling life. Let’s work together to improve your emotional well-being and help you get to a place where you feel comfortable, empowered, and ready to thrive.

Hi, I’m a licensed clinical social worker, and I offer online therapy for adults and children who are feeling stressed, anxious, down, or stuck in unhelpful patterns.

Thank you for taking time to learn a little about me. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Certified Addictions Professional with over 28 years of counseling experience in clinical, private and educational settings. I practice Client-centered therapy. For those who are unfamiliar with Client-centered therapy it is based on the practice that the CLIENT is best able to decide what to explore and mark as a goal of treatment. I empower all my clients without compromising empathy. Whatever the reason any individual, couple, or family comes to me, I challenge their skillset to solve problems and restore resolve; not simply provide short-term solutions. The first step to achieve this is to build a rapport with essential empathy and unconditional positive regard. I believe in relationships. Seems a little elementary but one's physical, mental, and overall wellness is dependent on relations that we have with each other. No matter how large or small one's family is, and/or social circle we were all meant to establish and grow relationships. No level of true self-reflection would escape this fact. I witnessed this to be true in all of my clients as with myself. I currently reside Central Florida with my wife, son, and three daughters. As a family we enjoy an active lifestyle supportive of one another and the family dynamic. I welcome the opportunity to work with you, feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

My passion in the mental health field is to encourage children and teens to become life-long advocates for their emotional, mental, and physical well-being. It is my hope that together, we will find useful strategies that can be built upon and continue to grow during both the ups and downs of adolescence and beyond. My clients often present with moderate to severe worries and anxiety around “typical” angst related to school, activities, and relationships. Sometimes the stress is sneaky and camouflaged to look like fatigue, irritability, and apathy. I find that many young people use coping skills that may not be the healthiest; however making the initial decision to seek out better solutions through counseling provides countless options for therapeutic approaches. In 2025, I proudly founded my own practice, Grand Wellness Group, in an effort to continue to provide the best support for clients, families, and supervision for clinical mental health providers.

My academic training and years of clinical experience have given me a strong foundation in trauma-informed care, human development, and evidence-based therapeutic practices. ​ I have experience working with individuals of all ages—including children, young adults, couples, and families. My specialties include supporting neurodivergent individuals, navigating attachment and identity, and helping those struggling with anxiety, depression, and trauma. I also have a deep passion for working with LGBTQ+ individuals, those from diverse cultural and religious backgrounds, and people living with chronic illness and pain. ​ Over the course of my career, I have supported clients in community mental health, outpatient family services, crisis centers, and intensive care programs. My training in CBT, DBT, play therapy, art therapy, and animal-assisted techniques allows me to adapt therapy to meet each person’s unique needs. I have also developed and facilitated therapeutic groups that focus on coping skills, emotional regulation, and resilience. ​ At The Rooted Refuge, I bring all of these experiences together to create a safe, affirming, and inclusive practice. My work is rooted in compassion, authenticity, and respect for each individual’s story. Here, you’ll find a space to heal, grow, and build meaningful connections—with yourself and others

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who helps teens and adults navigate the emotional weight of anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. I specialize in helping high-functioning individuals who look “fine” on the outside but feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or stuck on the inside. Therapy with me is a space to feel heard, supported, and equipped with real-life tools to help you thrive.
