Madison Meron

About Madison

Hi, I'm Madison Meron (She/Her), a Marriage & Family Therapist Associate passionate about supporting children (as young as 3), families, individual adults and intimate partners as they navigate the intersection of trauma and relationships.

Specializations

I focus on challenges related to religious trauma, adoption/foster care, sexual assault and other complex traumas. I also help intimate partnerships & parent child relationships strengthen their connection to one another. My approach is culturally sensitive, trauma-informed, attachment-based, somatic and nature forward.

My Approach

Many clients experience me as warm, steady and authentic. I believe we all have many sides to us as complex people and I welcome all parts of you that may show up in our work together.

I integrate EMDR, IFS, Ecotherapy, Play Therapy and other somatic and expressive techniques into my work, depending on the needs of each client. I also offer outdoor sessions to deepen the healing experience and connection to the natural world.

I view therapy as a collaborative process and take a strengths based approach, believing you are not at a deficit and are not defined by a diagnosis or symptoms. I recognize that social justice issues are a major contributor to many mental health concerns and do not see my clients in isolation to what is going on in our world. You can expect to go at the pace you need and engage in play, artistic expression and embodiment practice, learning to trust the wisdom within you.
