Madelyn Lunder, LMSW

Are you in your 20s or early 30s, feeling stuck or uncertain about where you’re headed? Maybe you're navigating “adulting," struggling with the ups and downs of dating, or feeling disconnected in your relationships. Communication with family, friends, or partners might feel frustrating or unfulfilling, leaving you unsure of how to express yourself or get what you need. You might find yourself questioning what you want in a relationship, feeling anxious about the day-to-day, or overwhelmed by emotions that are hard to name.

Anxiety, depression, and self-doubt can make it even harder to move forward, leaving you feeling stuck in negative thought patterns or unsure of how to break free from unhealthy dynamics. But you don’t have to figure it out alone. Therapy can help you gain clarity, strengthen your relationships, and feel more confident in your choices.

Compassion is at the core of my approach and I’m deeply committed to helping you navigate relationship issues, interpersonal conflicts, anxiety, depression, and trauma. Whether you’re navigating the shift from college to the “real world,” finding yourself in miscommunications with family or friends, or experiencing heartbreak, I’m dedicated to meeting you where you are while fostering your growth.

As we unfold the different factors contributing to what is making you feel these intense emotions, we will work together to come up with solutions that can help you feel prepared to conquer your feelings both inside and outside of our sessions.

I believe that each person’s needs are unique and I use a variety of therapeutic techniques - including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Theory, Mindfulness-Based Interventions, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) - to address your specific needs. It’s my goal that we can work together to empower you to find clarity, feel lighter, and guide you toward living your most genuine, authentic life. Using my training from the Gottman Institute, I can also help couples strengthen their relationship and work through issues to develop effective communication skills.

During our sessions: 

• You'll gain a deeper understanding of your relationships—why certain dynamics repeat and how to create healthier connections.

• We’ll clarify what truly matters to you, helping you feel more grounded in who you are and what you want.

• You'll learn to quiet self-doubt and break free from negative thought patterns that weigh you down.

• We’ll develop practical tools to ease daily worries and anxieties, so you can move through life with greater confidence and ease.
