Madeleine Kelly

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Orange County, California. I have worked in this field for over 13 years, and am committed to helping adult individuals from all walks of life navigate life's various challenges. My goal is for us to join together as a therapeutic team to help you better navigate whatever struggles life has thrown your way. I specialize in working with adults experiencing a wide array of concerns including, but not limited to, anxiety, trauma, mood disorders, attention-deficit disorders, relationship difficulties, struggles with self esteem, and various life stressors and transitions.

My communication style and demeanor are rooted in confidence and patience. Each session you will be met in an accepting, non-judgmental, empathic, warm, compassionate, and collaborative manner. My therapeutic approach is assertive when needed, but also calm, personable, open, and accommodating in matter. I strive to create an environment where you feel genuinely heard, respected, understood and safe to share opening without fear. I listen carefully, reflect thoughtfully, and ask meaningful questions to help you gain a differ insight into your experiences and help inspire healthy growth.

Your first session with me will be conducted in a relaxed, welcoming manner where the ultimate goal is to get to know each other and begin to establish a strong therapeutic relationship. We will discuss what brings you into therapy, your current challenges, and your therapeutic goals and intentions. I'll ask thoughtful questions to help me get to know you and build trust and respect, while also giving you the space to share what feels most important to you. By the end, you'll feel heard and understood and have a clear sense of what our journey together will entail.
