Hi, I’m Lincoln Madley.
My pronouns are he, him. I am an individual, teen and couples therapist. I draw from mindfulness-based, trauma-informed, and relational approaches to meet your individual needs. I also present clients with skills to develop agency, foster resilience, and enhance communication.
I view therapy as a relational process that imparts security and stability to the exploration that leads to healing and self-empowerment. I have experience treating issues related to self-esteem, creativity, anger, interpersonal relationships, and trauma. I view therapy as an opportunity to explore lived challenges and discover areas of personal growth. My goal is to support those who face adversity and whose experiences have brought suffering and chaos into their relationships, emotions, thinking, and sense of self on their path towards a life worth living.
I earned my Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University, where diversity and social justice were important key elements of my learning experience. I trained at the Southern California Counseling Center, where I worked with individuals and couples and facilitated groups for The Abuse Prevention Program (TAPP), and at Evolve Treatment Centers, where I worked with adolescents in evidence-based in-patient treatment programs.
