Josie Madrid
(She/Her/Hers)
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)
I’m passionate about creating a space where you can openly process challenges, feel your emotions, and ultimately find your way back to yourself.
Hi, I’m Josie! My approach to therapy is centered in compassion, non-judgement, and empowerment. I have extensive experience working with adolescents and adults in the areas of anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationship challenges. My goal is to provide a space where you feel comfortable to share the real you. In our work together, you will deepen the relationship with yourself and improve the ways you interact with the world. You can also expect to better understand your emotions as important sources of information. I believe everyone can experience more joy and fulfillment in their lives. Let’s break the old patterns no longer serving you and learn new supportive tools to apply to the present. A little bit about me…I was born and raised in San Luis Obispo, California. I currently live in San Diego with my husband. In my free time, I enjoy coffee shops, group fitness classes, and nature. I look forward to connecting with you!
