Groups are free and will be led by Madison McDonough who creates a warm space to share in the struggles of personal and professional lives in being a therapist. Participants will be assigned to groups based on their current level of licensure and type of work in order to be placed with others you can best relate to.

About Madison:

I believe therapy should be a place where you feel genuinely heard, supported, and empowered to create meaningful change in your life. My goal is to provide a warm, collaborative environment where you can openly explore life’s challenges, celebrate your strengths, and work toward becoming the best version of yourself!

My passion for counseling comes from experiencing the impact of therapy firsthand. Throughout my own life, therapy has helped me navigate significant life transitions, including divorce, manage stress and anxiety, clarify my goals, and build a life that feels authentic and fulfilling. Those experiences inspired me to pursue a career in counseling so I can walk alongside others as they navigate their own journeys.

I enjoy working with adolescents and adults who are experiencing life transitions, relationship challenges, anxiety, stress, career concerns, and questions about what comes next. My approach is collaborative, person-centered, and strengths-based, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy to support clients through life’s challenges, build practical coping skills, and move toward the goals that matter most to them.

Before pursuing counseling, I earned my Bachelor of Science in Communication Studies from Texas State University and spent several years working in the corporate world. That experience gave me a unique understanding of workplace stress, career transitions and balancing the many demands of everyday life. I’m currently completing my masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Midwestern State University, where I continue to deepen my knowledge and passion for counseling.

I believe healing and growth happen when people feel safe, understood, and supported. Whether you’re navigating a major life transition, feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or stress, or simply looking for a space to process life’s challenges, I look forward to supporting you on your journey!

I’m so happy you’re here and I’m truly honored to have the opportunity to walk alongside you during your journey of healing and self-discovery!
