Maddie Landrum

MSW Intern

In my work as a therapist I approach sessions as your advocate. My style is holistic, eclectic, and heavily inspired by person-centered and strengths-based theories which offer an unconditionally supportive therapeutic experience. Life can be confusing, stressful, and overwhelming. I want to work with you to find techniques and tools that guide you towards healing, understanding, and peace. Throughout our time together I will ensure an accepting, action-oriented space for you to express what you are currently facing in life. In our sessions I trust you as the expert in your life experience; and no matter what you have endured through I want to be there to listen to your story without judgment. I graduated with my BS in Psychology in 2021 and my MSW in 2024-- both from USU. My experiences and interests mainly lie in OCD, identity/sexual orientation, eating disorders, body image, trauma, anxiety and depression.

TREATMENT APPROACH

My therapeutic approach is rooted in Rogerian principles. This allows you, the client, to show up every sessions as your authentic self and to be fully accepted as you are. I approach sessions with the understanding that you are the expert in understanding your own life. As we work as a team, I can ensure an empathetic, accepting, and non-judgmental environment. With you guiding the direction of treatment, I can provide tools, techniques, and support that guide you toward healing.

KNOW YOUR THERAPIST

WHAT DID YOU GET YOUR DEGREE(S) IN AND WHERE FROM?

BS in Psychology USU; MSW USU

SUMMARY OF PROFESSIONAL HISTORY

I previously worked at Avalon Hills as a Nuerofeedback Technician, spent a year of my practicum at Logan High as a school social worker, and have had experience volunteering at local refugee centers in my hometown. I received my BS in Psychology in 2021 and my MSW in 2024-- both from USU.

WHAT MADE YOU WANT TO BECOME A THERAPIST?

Life experience brought me to a place of understanding that I wanted to be the person I wish I had when I was younger. Through my journey of studying psychology and then transitioning to social work, I have found that I want to be a therapist that works towards individual and system level justice to create a better human experience.

WHATS YOUR THERAPEUTIC APPROACH?

My therapuetic approach is ecclectic, meaning I utilize various evidence-based practices in treatment depending on each individual client's needs. I find myself gravitating towards Acceptance Commitment Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Internal Family Systems (parts work) for most of my clients. 

My approach is warm, encouragning and understanding. However, I also challenge my clients, when appropriate, to help them reach their treatment goals. 

WHAT KIND OF HOMEWORK OR ASSIGNMENTS DO YOU GIVE CLIENTS?

I will work with you to determine what is the best fit for your needs when assigning homework. All assignments are tailored with your treatment goals in mind.

HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR MY FIRST SESSION WITH YOU?

Prepare to come as you are. We will start by simply getting to know each other and what your goals are.
