Maddie Landrum

MSW Intern

In my work as a therapist I approach sessions as your advocate. My style is holistic 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 would 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 from USU in 2021 and am currently in my final year of my MSW at USU. The majority of my experience has been working with adolescents & young adults, but I am open to clientele of all backgrounds. My experiences and interests mainly lie in eating disorders, body image, identity/sexual orientation, women's issues, OCD, 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.

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 from USU in 2021 and I will be graduating with my MSW in May of 2024.

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.
