Madelyn Brunvand

Madelyn uses an integrated, systemic approach to mental health that views people within the many relationships, communities, and systems that impact how they interact with the world. She incorporates cultural sensitivity and celebrates the multitude of identities in each client. In the therapeutic relationship, Madelyn values mutual respect and commitment to taking meaningful action to engage existing coping skills and supports while discovering and implementing additional strategies and resources. Her favorite part of being a mental health practitioner is hearing clients say they are proud of themselves for the growth they have achieved through their work within and outside of the therapeutic setting, and she looks forward to continuing to walk with clients as they discover this internal confidence. Madelyn’s goal in therapy is for her clients to find empowerment and affirmation within themselves. While she works with clients to grow their support networks, she believes that the most lasting and meaningful validation comes from within.
