Getting to know Melissa Madriaga

I am the owner of Inner Balance Counseling, located in West Bend. I really enjoy helping those who struggle with eating disorders, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and adjustment issues- just to name a few. I have worked in a jail in the past for almost five years. I am open-minded and work with clients in the LGBTQ+ community. I enjoy working with clients on a holistic approach and having clients engage in various forms of coping skills and activities outside of the talk therapy session. I use CBT, which can be helpful in addressing maladaptive thought patterns. I look forward to working with you! My approach I have experience working with clients with eating disorders- those who are in a non-crisis state/medically sound. I use a CBT approach with a focus on holistic care. I can teach you different methods of coping skills and I will often times have clients engage in therapeutic processes outside of the therapy session. It's courageous to take the first step. My focus I work with clients who have eating disorders, depression, anxiety, are in need of coping skills, stress management and reduction, adjustment disorders, relationship distress, etc. My communication style I have open communication between myself and my clients. I can be firm but am understanding and supportive. Clients can also share with the kind of communication they prefer as well (gentle, firm). Clients are open to sending me emails as needed, and I try my best to respond as soon as I am able. My journey to mental healthcare My personal journey started when I was in my early 20s and I was diagnosed with severe anorexia. At the age of 23, I had a cardiac arrest and nearly passed away from complications related to my eating disorder. I was a single mom to two young daughters at the time.
