Getting to know Madalena Andrade

Hi there, I'm Madalena! Madalena Andrade, LICSW, holds a Master's in Social Work from Simmons University and has over a decade of experience working with teens and adults, offering support through life's toughest challenges. She specializes in trauma, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and substance use. My approach I use a holistic, person-centered approach that integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, solution-focused therapy, and trauma recovery techniques. My focus I support both teenagers and adults as they navigate some of life's toughest obstacles. My main areas of expertise involve addressing trauma, mood disorders, anxiety, and substance abuse. I employ a holistic approach that blends CBT, motivational interviewing, solution-focused therapy, and trauma recovery. My communication style My communication style as a therapist is grounded in warmth, understanding, and active listening. I focus on creating a space where clients feel fully supported and heard, providing consistent validation and empathy. Through an approachable and open tone, I help clients feel comfortable expressing themselves, knowing they are respected and valued. Working with me, clients experience a nurturing environment that fosters understanding and empowers them to explore their thoughts and feelings with confidence. My journey to mental healthcare My journey to becoming a therapist began over 15 years ago after a career in education. I saw firsthand how mental health needs were often overlooked, which resonated deeply with me, reflecting on my own upbringing. This awareness sparked a desire to make a difference in my community-to create a safe, supportive space where people could process their emotions, trauma, and challenges openly. What drives me every day is the belief that I can help others not only survive but truly thrive. It's incredibly meaningful to witness individuals embrace fulfilling, empowered lives through this work.
