Getting to know Tai Maddox

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 10+ years of experience helping teens, young adults, and families heal and grow. I create a culturally affirming, judgment-free space to explore identity, anxiety, trauma, and life’s messier moments. My style is authentic, relational, and rooted in both evidence-based care and mind-body healing practices like mindfulness and somatic work. Therapy with me goes deeper—we’ll build something meaningful, empowering, and truly transformative. You don’t have to do this alone. My approach My approach to care is rooted in authenticity, cultural humility, and mind-body awareness. I strive to create a space where clients—especially young adults and people of color—can show up fully as themselves, without fear of judgment or the need to explain their identity. I believe therapy should feel like a genuine relationship, not a cold clinical exchange. I draw from evidence-based modalities like CBT, DBT, Solution-Focused, Motivational Interviewing, and trauma-informed care, while also integrating holistic practices such as mindfulness, somatic work, and breathwork. This allows me to support clients not just on a cognitive level, but emotionally, physically, and spiritually when appropriate. I value collaboration and tailor each session to what feels most relevant and helpful for you in the moment. I don’t offer quick fixes or generic advice. Instead, I help you get to the root of what’s going on—so you can build insight, resilience, and real tools that empower you to navigate life more intentionally. My focus I specialize in working with teens, young adults, and transitional-aged youth who are navigating anxiety, life transitions, identity development, and relationship or family stress. Many of my clients are people of color, first-generation, or culturally diverse individuals who want a therapist who truly “gets it” without needing to explain every cultural nuance or experience.
