About Me

trauma therapist

Hi, I’m Madison.

I’m a licensed professional counselor and a clinician at Free Your Mind NOLA where I help individuals in the New Orleans area.

“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.”

Carl Rogers

I’m passionate about giving trauma-informed care and helping people learn about themselves!  Clients go through so much self-exploration and growth in therapy.  That can be a tough journey, but watching my clients be willing to work hard through the discomfort and challenges to better themselves is such a beautiful thing to be a part of.

Providing therapy that is supportive, understanding, comfortable, and safe is my top priority.  I do this by building our therapeutic relationship from a place of compassion and acceptance.  I also want to aid in normalizing and validating your thoughts, feelings, and experiences.  We can hold a lot of shame and confusion regarding these parts of ourselves.  I want to help you reclaim your healing journey by reducing stigmas around mental health and providing tools to empower you. 

In addition, I aim to provide care from an inclusive and multicultural lens, and I welcome clients from all backgrounds.  I make it a point to do my own self-reflection and seek further consultation, supervision, and therapy to ensure my own life experiences do not interfere in my ability to understand and provide quality care to my clients.
