Hi! I’m a mom, wife, and a lifelong learner with a deep appreciation for both the big and small joys in life. I have lived the majority of my life in the Boise, Idaho area and grew up in Denver, Colorado. When I’m not working with clients, you’ll find me crocheting, paddle boarding, practicing yoga, walking, or just soaking in time with friends and family—especially in the mountains. I’m also a big fan of my fur babies, the calming sound of the ocean, and the irresistible allure of tacos! My Approach to Therapy I believe that everyone has the capacity to grow, heal, and discover deeper self-awareness when they are given a safe and compassionate space to do so. In our work together, my goal is to help you explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences without judgment. I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches to create a personalized plan that aligns with you—your needs, your pace, and your goals. Whether you’re looking to understand yourself better, work through past challenges, or navigate difficult emotions, I’m here to support you. Together, we’ll uncover blind spots, process feelings, and explore new perspectives that empower you to make meaningful changes in your life. Ultimately, I’m here to walk beside you as you move toward greater self-discovery and a more fulfilling, balanced life.

Although I believe therapy is a collaborative effort, I believe in the importance of tailoring therapy to individual needs of the client. I don’t believe there is a one size fits therapy. I feel my role is to help provide a different lens into your life, using strength based practices and solution focused techniques. I have worked in crisis mental health for over 15 years and in the general field of counseling for over 20. Therefore I have experience with a variety of issues including mood disorders, personality disorders, crisis situations or symptoms and severe long term diagnoses. I am honored to be allowed to be involved in one’s journey through life. I have received my BA from University of California, Irvine, and my MA from George Fox University. I believe in the importance of having a holistic lens through both my professional and personal life. Self-care is important for everyone with nature being a frequent and part of my self-care. Open to working with children 6 years and older.

I’m Dr. Melissa Madeson, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Yoga Therapist with training in sex therapy and Gottman methods for couples (Gottman Level 2 certified). I have a PhD. in Sport & Exercise Psychology from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, a master’s in counseling & Human Development from Hardin Simmons University in Abilene, TX, as well as a Master's in Kinesiology and bachelor’s in psychology from California State University, Sacramento. I have a holistic approach to mental health and wellness and use a person-centered approach working with clients. With a background rooted in physical fitness (a Division I collegiate scholarship athlete, a triathlete and marathon runner, a cycle and yoga instructor) the mind-body connection became a powerful tool for improving performance, enhancing recovery and reaching fitness goals. Similarly, the body can be used as a tool to heal the mind and emotional issues associated with stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions and trauma. I have over 12 years’ experience working with couples to improve relationships and individual clients to enhance performance, cope with stress, deal with depression and conquer anxiety. Working in University settings, private practice and online platforms to offer telehealth, I employ a variety of skills and techniques dependent on individual client needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) can often be combined with mindfulness, and humanistic approaches to achieve specific goals. I look forward to developing a meaningful relationship and share in your journey of experiencing life to its fullest.

Being a part of a growing community embracing the balance of modern and traditional healing is my passion. Treating mental health is a balance of all things human. I believe healing our bodies, minds, and communities must go together with healing the Earth. There is wilderness within us all. When we have lost our connection with nature, we have lost our connection to ourselves. Since trauma often happens in the context of relationships, so can healing. The therapeutic relationship is an important indicator of successful therapy. Therefore, I value creating a safe therapeutic alliance utilizing a strength-based approach with cognitive behavioral components. Together, we will identify problems and work towards solutions that are adept with your lifestyle in order to increase your overall happiness and wellness. Open to working with adolescents 13 years and older.

Welcome! My name is Casey and I am a LCSW with over 20 years of experience. I work to provide a calm and peaceful environment where healing can happen. In treatment I focus heavily on increasing awareness through the use of mindfulness. For example, consider how much time we spend thinking about the past or future compared to the present. Too much time in the future breeds anxiety while too much time in the past breeds depression. The present is where we find peace even for just a moment. I Provide both Telehealth and In Person Treatment. Clinically, I specialize in the treatment of Trauma, Anxiety issues, and Mood issues even though I have worked with most issues during my career. My style is based off of Mindfulness based intervention. I have received extensive training in EMDR as well as other treatments for trauma. I like to help understand patterns and triggers as a way of increasing our overall understanding. This awareness can be so helpful in making long lasting changes.

Abuse (sexual, emotional, physical), Addictions, Anger Management, Behavioral Weight Loss, Bipolar Spectrum Disorders, Depression, Generalized Anxiety, Grief, Health & Wellness, OCD, PTSD, Panic, Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders, Personality Disorders, Relationship Issues, Substance & Alcohol Abuse, Trauma
I earned my Master’s degree in Social Work from Hunter College, CUNY. I'm a Licensed independent Clinical Social Worker, who has been implementing community based, public health services for the past 15 years. From wilderness therapy and mobile medical vans, to addiction treatment and family therapy, my approach is flexible and draws from multiple treatment modalities. Using an integrated approach of psychodynamic psychotherapy, strength based therapy, CBT and family work, I've had success in treating individuals who experience depression, anxiety, issues related to trauma, grief, addiction, dependency and recovery. Using the therapeutic process I can offer many things to people: empathy and a sounding board, other ways of looking at issues, and ideas about how to solve problems. Through this process I hope to create an experience that allows the client to feel more present, create peace and connect to life goals. I believe we all have a natural ability to heal and grow, like plants that turn toward the sun. I believe in the power of therapy to enhance your capacity for curiosity, self-compassion, self-understanding, and a deeper sense of self-worth. If you're curious about what therapy can offer you, I encourage you to trust your instinct and reach out. Open to working with adolescents 13 and older.
