Philip Madden

My communication style

Open and honest. I am all about the therapist and the client being equal partners in the experience, and mutual respect is key to that. I am not your "head nod, say little" therapist. I like to engage and bring ideas to the session from my training and experience, as I have worked with a very wide range of clients.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have worked in various school settings, with the VA, as well as a 2-year period outside of this profession, finding my passion. I committed to my master's program at 27 years old, realizing this is what I want to do. What drives me is the ability to make a unique impact on people in ways many have not had the platform to do so in their lives.

My goals for you

At the pace they want to go. Goals that are clear and attainable are important, but they need to happen in a way that is comfortable for clients and can change as we progress.

Our first session

We'll start by getting to know each other and discussing what brings you to therapy. I'll ask about your goals and what you hope to achieve. This is your space to share openly, ask questions, and see if we're a good fit to work together.
