Madison Berley, LPC

Having been in therapy myself as a child, I understand how scary it is to be open and vulnerable with a stranger, especially when you don’t know if they are the right therapist for you. I’ve been there. If this sounds like you, you’ve come to the right place!

I will help guide you through your hurt, sadness, and trauma as we develop goals together to overcome your pains. This is a process that we will do together. I am excited to help you learn and grow into a better version of yourself.

When working with children (ages 3-12) I will utilize play therapy to help your child learn better ways to communicate their feelings and needs in ways that reduce conflict and stress in both of your lives.

When working with adults (18+) my ability to make complex emotions more manageable and less overwhelming will help you to relieve feelings of stress, anxiety, depression, among your other goals.

Take control of your circumstances, don’t let the problems grow unchecked, call today to schedule an appointment.

Favorite Books

For me: This is nearly impossible to choose as I love MANY books, but if forced then the City of Bones series by Cassandra Clare

For clients:

• How to Talk so Kids will Listen & Listen so kids will Talk by Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish
• The Whole Brain Child by Daniel J. Diegel and Tina Payne Bryson
• Boundaries by Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend

Hobbies

Reading, attending church events with my friends, going to the movies, and other structured creative activities like diamond painting.

Funny Story

As a child, I had a tendency of getting into EVERYTHING! My mom had to figure out how to get glue or red nail polish out of the carpet, vacuum up an entire bottle of baby powder spread throughout the entire room, pick me up out of my crib with a whole container of Vaseline covering me head to toe (she eventually had to use oven mitts), and-my personal favorite-kick down a door after I locked her out of the house.

If any of those stories resonates with you, know that your kiddo is in good hands and all hope is not lost!
