Eileen Madden, LPC

Eileen Madden brings a compassionate, acceptance-based approach to therapy that guides people toward reconnecting with self-worth and the goodwill that lives inside them. She encourages clients to make room for difficult feelings by understanding that emotions are separate from one’s core spirit and serve a protective purpose. From that place of recognition, she supports practices that include somatic awareness and present-moment nurturing of the body so joy and gratitude can be more accessible in daily life.

Eileen holds both her undergraduate and master’s degrees from Boston College and is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC. She has worked across outpatient settings with clients ranging in age from two to 87, and her clinical focus has included children and families in partial hospitalization and in-home settings. Much of her work centers on anxiety, sadness, and anger, and she values the link between physical wellbeing and mental health.

Outside of clinical work she prioritizes movement and plant-based nourishment, and she has found fulfillment as a boxing instructor and runner. Her life experience includes study abroad in Ecuador and service trips to El Salvador, Mississippi, New Orleans, and the Appalachian region. She lives a spiritual life rooted in a belief that all things are connected by a shared energy of love. Personal blessings she names include her parents, sister, brother-in-law, and her four-year-old nephew. She also keeps a guiding saying close by: "You'll never find a rainbow if you're looking down."
