MICHAEL E. MADSEN, LMFT

“What is success?
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate the beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded!”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson

A FEW WORDS FROM MICHAEL

Hello I’m Michael. My approach is more directive and collaborative as I work with you to resolve your problems. I think there are valid reasons why people are struggling, and we can work through those things together. 

As a therapist I have worked with individuals, couples, and family units on problems such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other issues that cause distress and disruption in lives. I am trauma informed and trained in EMDR and have finished the Gottman Level 1 training for couples. My hope is to help you work through the problems step by step and to build on your strengths and abilities to move forward. 

Family is very important to me, and my wife and I work hard to help our children grow up to be good people. We are Christians and belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I believe that together we can help make life more peaceful and enjoyable for everyone. I hope that I can help you!
