Maddie Tonjes, a clinical social worker and therapist, understands the apprehension surrounding the decision to enter therapy. Many clients may feel that previous attempts have not yielded the desired results, or they may be intimidated by the prospect of embarking on this new journey. However, Maddie believes everyone deserves a safe, supportive, and listening environment. She recognizes that individuals often grapple with the notion that their struggles aren’t 'bad enough' or that they are too rooted in the past to warrant exploration. Maddie's mission is to create a nurturing space where clients can breathe and feel heard. She appreciates the challenge of revealing one’s innermost feelings to others and acknowledges that vulnerability can be daunting. Yet, she is dedicated to helping clients 'speak the unspeakable.' Regardless of the obstacles one may face, Maddie collaborates with individuals to cultivate safety, self-compassion, and resilience in navigating life's inherent challenges. Her areas of expertise include trauma, chronic illness and pain, life transitions, eating disorders, parenting and family-related issues, interpersonal conflicts, mood disorders such as anxiety and depression, and suicidal ideation. If any of these resonate, Maddie would be eager to assist or address any inquiries potential clients might have.
