Faith Madrid

Licensed Mental Health Counselor

Life doesn’t always go the way we hope, or plan. Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, parenting difficulties, religious deconstruction, low self-worth, unhealthy boundaries, loss of a loved one, feeling like you never measure up, or feeling stuck? Whatever the struggle, you’re considering reaching out for help, and that’s often the hardest part. You’ve got this!


As a therapist who is also neurodivergent, Faith’s style of counseling tends to be relaxed, yet to the point when needed. She does not adhere to one specific modality of counseling techniques; her stance is that each person is unique and what works for one does not necessarily work for another. You are the expert on you life; Faith will walk with you on this part of your journey, helping you discover your strengths, acknowledge limitations, uncover what is not working, and together make changes needed for your growth and healing. 


Faith works best with older adolescents and adults. If you enjoy a healthy does of sarcasm, lightheartedness, being serious when needed, and a space where you can be you without judgement, let’s give this a try. If she is not a good fit your as a therapist, no worries, she will encourage you to continue looking until you find the right one. You deserve it!
