Rhonda Madsen, MSW, LCSW

I am a mental health counselor, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, with over 25 years of experience helping adolescents and adults move through the various challenges, stages, and moments in life. I specialize in treating the whole person - mind, body, and spirit - by interweaving traditional therapy practices with spiritual and energy practices to emphasize growth and healing on all levels. I do so at a person’s level of interest and comfort in these modalities. If a person prefers these nontraditional approaches be left out, then they are left out. Everybody is difffent with different preferences and interests, and it is nice to have a wide variety of things to offer people in their counseling sessions. Clients find me caring & welcoming, and find counseling with me helpful, meaningful, and tailored to them as individuals.

Whether you are ready to grow beyond old patterns & step into the the fullest version of yourself, navigating a difficult time and needing support to find your way through, dealing with something from your past, or anything in between, I am here. I utilize a variety of clinical approaches, including CBT, mindfulness training, trauma informed care, psychoeduation, interpersonal therapy, and many other interventions, and I work with a wide array of issues, from depression and anxiety to family and relationship issues, work stress, trauma and PTSD, ADHD and just about anything life brings our way. While I am clinically minded, I can blend traditional Mental Health therapy with spiritual work and energy healing practices when appropriate and desired by a client, including Reiki, Vibrational Sound Healing, and techniques/philosophies I have learned in my Shamanic studies and from Panic Healing and ThetaHealing, and other holistic and spiritual practices.

I have always enjoyed what I do, I cannot imagine doing anything else. At some point along the way, though, I started to get the sense that there were some things that I just could not get to in a regular counseling session- some things just weren’t moving despite our best efforts. Around this same time, I was led to Reiki, and I received my Usui/Holy Fire Reiki Master Certification. Feeling connected to energy in this way opened up so much for me on so many levels. It was the opening of a door to what I had been looking.

I found that this was only the beginning, though. The more that I learn about energy healing and the nature things, the more I realize there is so much yet to learn and grow into. Since that time, I have also become an Advanced Certified Vibrational Sound Practitioner, a Certified Advanced ThetaHealer®, studied Pranic Healing, participated in a Shamanic studies program for women, and also became a Holy Fire III Karuna Reiki Master Practitioner. Recently, I have been enjoying finding ways to incorporate sound healing into my work. And also recently I have received training in hypnosis by the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis and recieved certification in BHQ (Beyond Quantum Healing). Doing BQH feels like the culminiation of a lot of my learnings both personally and professionally, and I believe that this and counseling are ultimately part of what I came into this life to be doing. I hope to never stop learning and growing, and I hope the same for you! I am in the exciting position of being able to incorporate spiritual work and forms of energy healing into counseling sessions to assist people in growth and healing in mind, body and spirit.
