Meet Dr. Madeleine Byrne
With 40 years of experience, Dr. Madeleine Byrne is a clinical psychologist dedicated to guiding you through your healing journey. Discover her passion, expertise, and commitment to your well-being.
From social work to clinical psychology
My journey into psychology began with 25 fulfilling years as a clinical social worker. This early career allowed me to experience diverse settings, from rehab hospitals and juvenile corrections to school counseling and private practice. As the field of therapy evolved, I pursued graduate studies to integrate new developments and deeper insights into my practice. Today, I find immense reward in working with clients who have experienced trauma, particularly adverse childhood experiences and family violence, witnessing their path to healing.
A holistic approach to trauma healing
My unique approach to helping individuals with trauma histories involves working on two crucial levels. First, we address the body's response to past events through somatic techniques. Second, we engage in emotional work, specifically focused on rewriting the narratives that trauma can implant. This process happens both within our sessions and through practical homework tasks designed to integrate healing into your daily life. It is a collaborative journey towards reclaiming your story.
Your safety, your pace, your healing
Working through trauma is a challenging yet profoundly rewarding process. I believe that effective trauma work flourishes within a safe and affirming relationship between therapist and client. Your comfort and readiness are paramount; the pace of our work is always determined by you, at every step of the way. My goal is for you to feel understood, supported, and empowered to heal, knowing that your journey is honored and respected.
