Madeline Alexander, Counseling Intern
Meet Madeline!
One of the most important human needs is to be witnessed- to feel heard, seen, and supported. From personal experiences with recurrent miscarriages and fertility treatment to mothering four beautiful babies, I appreciate that each story is unique and worth telling. As a former full-spectrum doula with a BAH in Women’s Studies, I am passionate about amplifying women’s lived experiences as a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying).
I utilize a personalized approach and incorporate narrative therapy and mindfulness techniques to support you on your journey. I will meet you wherever you are in the spectrum of womanhood- infertility, loss, pregnancy, birth, postpartum and motherhood. With me, you are not alone.
I also work with couples in bridging the gap between different gendered experiences of perinatal events. I so commonly hear that grief, birth, infertility and parenting can look and feel so different, and this can leave you feeling lonely in your relationship. My goal is to shine a light on where you meet together and have you both feel heard and understood.
I look forward to meeting with you and learning about your story!
Madeline will be offering counselling both online and at our Central location starting in September.
