Madeleine Manders, LMSW, LICSW

Therapy Style:

At the heart of my practice is the belief that a strong, genuine therapeutic relationship is essential for meaningful change. I focus on creating a space where you feel seen and supported, with a commitment to understanding your unique needs.

I bring a direct and authentic style to our sessions, offering feedback that is both honest and empathetic. I’m passionate about working with your inherent strengths and exploring areas where you wish to grow. I believe the therapeutic relationship can serve as a foundation for deep exploration and healing, where your emotional experiences are acknowledged and valued. Together, we’ll navigate your journey with compassion and insight, ensuring that our work fosters real, transformative growth.

Modality and Approach:

I am a HAES aligned clinician specialized in working with adolescents and adults struggling with eating disorders, complex trauma, substance use, anxiety, depression, OCD, dissociative disorders and personality disorders. My therapeutic approach is integrative and adaptive, designed to meet the unique needs and experiences of each client. While grounded in a psychodynamic framework—I also integrate CBT, DBT, and ACT, to help you engage with and manage the present moment effectively.

What is one thing you do daily that supports your mental and emotional well-being?
