Madelyn Lunder, LMSW

Psychotherapist

Healing your relationships starts with understanding yourself. Let’s work together to get you there.

Do you find yourself ending up in the same kinds of relationships - ones that leave you anxious, second-guessing yourself, or emotionally drained? Maybe you’re great at supporting others but struggle to ask for what you need. If you’re going through a life transition that’s bringing up old wounds or leaving you unsure of who you are in relationships, I can help.

Unresolved trauma, anxiety, or self-doubt can keep you feeling stuck, even when you know something needs to change. Together, we can help you gain clarity, strengthen your relationships, and feel more confident in your choices.

I specialize in helping people untangle feelings of anxiety, trauma, and relationship issues - especially with those who feel like they’re stuck in the same negative patterns that keep showing up in different situations. Whether you’re dealing with confusing relationship dynamics, struggling to set boundaries, or trying to move through emotional pain that feels difficult to name, my goal is to provide a space where things start to make more sense.

Who I Work With

People navigating relationship confusion, conflict, or heartbreak
Individuals who feel overwhelmed by anxiety or stuck in their own thoughts
Couples craving a deeper connection emotionally, building a more intimate level of trust
Those who’ve experienced trauma (big or small) that still affects how they show up today

My Approach

I believe that your needs are unique and approach each session in a collaborative way. I focus on helping you feel more grounded and less reactive - whether that means learning how to soothe anxiety, set boundaries, or process the past. I’ll meet you where you are, with warmth, curiosity, and no judgment. In our work, I can integrate therapeutic modalities like CBT, Psychodynamic Therapy, Mindfulness, and EMDR to tailor our work to what resonates most with you and your needs. For couples, I draw on my training with the Gottman Institute to help improve communication and rebuild connection.

For me, the most rewarding part of the work is seeing clients experience metamorphic moments where they gain insight into what’s holding them back, enabling them to navigate their relationships more effectively. To facilitate personal growth and help individuals find healthier ways to communicate and connect is incredibly fulfilling and inspiring. The deep trust and vulnerability that clients share create a meaningful bond, making the work profoundly impactful both in and out of the session.
I’d encourage you to view therapy as a safe space for you to freely explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment, allowing you to find clarity and feel supported. Each therapy session is in your control – how much you share and what you take away from each experience. As a team, we will work together to achieve your goals and help you reach your greatest potential.
I enjoy working with individuals who are committed to making a difference in their lives in whatever way feels comfortable and important to them. There is no problem that is too small or too big to be discussed. I love guiding clients through empowered reflection to experience transformative growth and have a positive ripple effect in all aspects of their lives.
