Let’s Get to Know Madalin

What does a “good session” feel like to you as a therapist?

“For me, a good session feels like untangling a really challenging knot. Clients might not know why things feel tangled, but together we’re able to explore how and why. During session, we often discover new insights, identify patterns or dynamics, or connect pieces of the puzzle that help untangle the string. That process of discovery is something I find deeply rewarding.”

What is something you want clients to know before they walk into their first session with you?

“I understand how uncomfortable therapy can be. I’ve spent time in therapy as a client myself, and there were sessions I felt nervous or even unenthusiastic about attending because I knew we would be talking about challenging things. Opening up to someone you don’t know can feel incredibly vulnerable. I do my best to create a space where clients feel comfortable, supported, and able to move at a pace that feels right for them.”

What types of clients tend to connect really well with your therapy style?

“I would say clients who are self-aware and analytical tend to connect well with my therapy style—especially those who recognize they may be stuck in negative patterns but are struggling to make meaningful changes. I also work well with clients who have difficulty connecting what they are feeling with why they are feeling that way. Increasing awareness around what is driving those patterns often opens the door for clients to begin exploring new ways of approaching those cycles.”

What is something small that helps you reset after a long day of sessions?

“Time with animals and in nature. I’m a huge animal lover, and getting to go home and spend time with my pets is one of my favorite ways to decompress and reset. I also love being outdoors, especially now that the days are getting longer and the weather is improving.”
