Getting to know Madilynn Prude

Pushing through the stigma of starting therapy can be hard and extremely rewarding, and I understand the courage required to take this step. I will offer a compassionate, safe, and collaborative space to foster connection and healing. As a Black woman, I believe in the importance of cultural humility, anti-racism, and gender affirmation in my practice, and of paying attention to power structures and systems that affect us all. I understand the stressors that minorities face as they navigate the challenges of living, working, and breathing in a society embedded in systemic oppression. In therapy, we will co-create your goals and work toward them using your natural strengths you may have lost sight of. We’ll collaborate to understand your environment and the thoughts or patterns you may have become accustomed to. I use a trauma-informed, culturally attuned, and affirming approach to therapy. Together, we’ll explore the underlying reasons for your thoughts and feelings, which can be both challenging and relieving as you work toward positive change. My areas of interest include depression, anxiety, trauma-related disorders, stress, self-harm, and social isolation. I base my practice on several modalities, including somatic-based interventions, psychodynamic therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Harm reduction and autonomy are critical pieces in our work together, meaning we will define what safety and wellness look and feel like for you. I am committed to excelling in research-based interventions, therapeutic methods, and techniques to support change. As a pre-licensed therapist, I believe in your ability to succeed and prioritize your needs. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from The University of Chicago and a Bachelor’s degree from Lake Forest College. Feel your anger, cry if you need to, give yourself grace; get a hot girl walk in, get some sun, and make sure you hydrate.
