Healing Trauma, Reclaiming Life: Specialized Therapy for Deep Emotional Healing

Are you struggling with high anxiety, unfulfilling relationships, low self-esteem, or the effects of past experiences that still shape how you feel today? You’re not alone, and healing is possible.

I’m Madeline Muldoon, a compassionate therapist specializing in trauma resolution. I use approaches including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Brainspotting (BSP), and, when appropriate, Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP).

These approaches can go deeper than traditional talk therapy, helping you connect past experiences with present-day emotions, relationships, and behaviors. Together, we can identify the themes and patterns keeping you stuck and begin shifting away from old narratives that no longer serve you. Understanding why those patterns developed is just as important as changing what happens next.

Together, we can explore your healing journey.

With a deep commitment to helping individuals heal from trauma, I provide a safe and nurturing space where you can explore your emotions and experiences without fear of judgment. I believe that "our issues live in our tissues" and we often carry around old stories from past life events that aren't who we want to be. Until they are resolved, they can greatly affect our relationships with ourselves and others. I help clients work through what's keeping them "stuck" to move forward in a direction they want, and utilize modalities that are clinically proven to change the way the brain operates.

Transformative Therapies for Lasting Healing

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

EMDR is a research-backed therapy that uses bilateral stimulation (eye movements or tapping) to help you process painful memories and reduce the emotional intensity of traumatic experiences. This therapy has been proven effective for PTSD, anxiety, and more, providing you with faster results compared to traditional talk therapy.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

IFS helps you understand the various parts of yourself—the ones that may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or anxious—and how they interact with each other. By working with these parts, we can help you find balance and clarity, leading to lasting change and inner peace.

Brainspotting (BSP)

Using Brainspotting, we will target specific points in your brain connected to emotional distress. This innovative therapy helps you process deep-rooted trauma and provides relief from overwhelming emotions. By focusing on where you feel the tension in your body and brain, we unlock your natural ability to heal.

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)

KAP combines prescribed ketamine with preparation, a supported medicine session, and integration afterward. It may help you approach difficult emotions, memories, and beliefs from a different perspective when you continue to feel stuck. A licensed medical provider evaluates and prescribes the medication, while I provide the psychotherapy and remain with you throughout the medicine session.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT is a well-established, practical approach that helps you identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors contributing to your emotional distress. By focusing on how your thoughts influence your feelings and actions, CBT equips you with effective tools to manage anxiety, depression, and stress. Together, we’ll work on developing healthier perspectives and coping strategies, empowering you to break free from the cycle of negative thinking and create positive, lasting change in your life.

Take the First Step Toward Healing

Your healing journey begins with a simple conversation. You will find that I take a relaxed and non-judgemental approach. I offer a free 15 minute consultation call to explore what you are looking for to determine if my approach could benefit your unique needs. Whether you’re seeking help for trauma, wanting to explore your family of origin, or looking to improve your relationship with yourself or others, we’ll create a therapy plan that feels right for you. I believe that you are the expert of your system and I act as a guide to show you where you need to go. Don't think I'm the right fit? That's ok! I can help you find a provider that can better fit your needs. I am deeply committed to helping people find peace within themselves.
