About Therapist Maddy Trenholm, MSW, LICSW

I have always been passionate about mental health and recognize how many factors can impact it. Upbringing, world stressors, lack of support – the list goes on and on. I understand life is messy and imperfect; I am certainly not perfect and never would expect you to be! I strive to create an environment where you can be yourself and not feel like you have to hide your feelings.

Starting therapy can be overwhelming and I’m here every step of the way to help you feel comfortable so you can resolve your issues in a safe environment.

My Journey & Approach to Therapy

I am no stranger to perfectionism and tough experiences and many years ago I faced my own personal struggles. Through my own healing I found EMDR and started training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu as a wonderful community and outlet that allowed me to grow my self-confidence.

Why I Incorporate EMDR Therapy

I noticed that clients were already aware of their struggles, and still wondering how to resolve them. That’s where EMDR comes in – the evidence-based modality that goes beyond talk therapy.

 

EMDR is something that has helped me personally as well and that’s why I have felt and seen its success in myself and my clients and why I use it in my practice. This is why I love helping perfectionists recover and enjoy working with the common or professional athlete as well, but enjoy working with all walks of life, whether you’re a busy mom or an entrepreneur that just feels lost.

What I Help My Therapy Clients Work Through

  • Managing self-defeating thoughts that make things harder than they have to be

  • Reframing your ‘shoulds’ and help you start living for you!

  • Mapping out a plan so that you don’t have to waste another minute caring so much about what other people think
