Hi, I’m Madee Saunders.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate

I'm Madee (she/her), and I help adolescents and adults navigate trauma, build self-esteem, and move through life transitions in a space where you can show up exactly as you are with no judgment, just support.

As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I understand the unique challenges of finding your authentic self in a world that doesn't always make space for it. I'm passionate about working with clients healing from religious trauma and those seeking to reconnect with who they truly are beneath external expectations.

At the heart of my work is the belief that you already have strengths worth honoring. Therapy with me is intentional. We'll work together to process what you've been through, identify what's holding you back, and build on the resilience you already carry. My approach is about truly seeing you and creating a path forward that feels right for your life.

You deserve a space where healing isn't rushed, and growth isn't prescribed. I'm here to walk along.
