We’ll get into the mess, sort it out, and figure out how you can finally breathe a little easier. Therapy with me isn’t some endless loop of “and how does that make you feel?” It’s a collaborative process where I bring my expertise to the table, and you bring your courage to face what’s been holding you back.

I bring skills and strategies to the counseling process to promote positive outcomes, and positive feelings and thoughts for clients.

My experience includes providing therapy in medical behavioral health centers, community behavioral centers, online platforms, school settings, and universities.

I’ve spent the last 14 years working in community mental health—walking alongside people who’ve carried heavy stories, survived deep hurt, and kept going when the world didn’t make it easy. Folks who’ve survived trauma, systems that failed them, deep loneliness, and years of having to shrink themselves just to get by. I specialize in complex trauma—the kind that doesn’t come from one event, but from years of not being safe, not being seen, or having to constantly shift how you show up in the world to fit in, keep the peace, or avoid harm—whether that meant people-pleasing, staying small, or never letting your real self be fully known. I show up to this work with honesty, compassion, and deep respect for your autonomy. I won’t ask you to retell your trauma unless you want to. I won’t rush your process—but I won’t sugarcoat things either. I believe that healing doesn’t mean changing who you are—it means coming home to yourself: To your strength. Your boundaries. Your voice. And the parts of you that were buried along the way. This is a space where you don’t have to hide, shrink, or translate yourself. I practice from an LGBTQ+ affirming and anti-oppressive lens, which means I’m always working to make this a space where all of you are welcome—including your identities, your history, your culture, and the ways you’ve had to navigate a world that doesn’t always make room for you. If you’ve ever been told you’re “too much,” “too sensitive,” or “not enough,” this space was made for you. You’ve done what you needed to do to survive. Now it’s time to stop surviving quietly—and start living boldly.

We untangle the pressure, the silence, the self-doubt—and we start telling the truth. Not just about what’s going wrong, but about what you want, what you deserve, and how to stop shrinking to survive.

Hello! My name is Madison Pryor, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Clinical Addiction Counselor (LCAC) in the state of Indiana. I have worked in many arenas within the Behavioral Health and Addiction field, with 5+ years of experience as a therapist and many more years in other various roles over the last 10+ years, I am passionate about helping individuals navigate their healing journeys. I earned my Bachelor of Criminal Justice degree with a focus in Forensic Psychology and Addiction Counseling from Tiffin University and later obtained my Master of Social Work degree from Indiana University's School of Social Work, with a concentration in Mental Health and Addiction treatment. A few fun facts about me: I have two young kiddos who keep me laughing and on my toes! I love snuggling with my rescue pup, Zeus. When I'm not working with clients or spending time with my family, you can almost always find me with my nose in a book, listening to an audiobook, or listening to a good podcast!

I am Becky Hunt, and I have had my LCSW for the past 7 years. I have been practicing for 13 years, 6 of those in community mental health and 7 of those in my own private practice. I feel as if becoming a therapist is a calling for me. Having grown up with significant anxiety symptoms, an OCD diagnosis, and some painful eating-disorder issues have created in me an overwhelming desire to help others navigate through this tough world. I am not unfamiliar with conflict and how uncomfortable it can be for some and have found ways to be bold and assertive despite the discomfort and pain. I have a faith that helps me gain insight and perspective on a daily basis and love helping others with some of the same principals and beliefs that strengthen me. I also like to laugh, when I can, about the absurdities of life; I believe is humor is an often overlooked coping skill.
