Madison Borden, ma
Expressive Arts Therapist & Mental Health Therapist in Greater Boston, MA
Welcome! The hardest part of therapy is taking the first step –– I’m so glad you did!
I am an Expressive Arts Therapist working towards my license as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC). Leading with empathy, curiosity, and warmth, my approach to psychotherapy integrates holistic healing practices that emphasize human resilience and vulnerability. I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and couples in areas of depression, anxiety, stress, emotional regulation, attachment, trauma, and grief and loss.
My practice includes integrative approaches grounded in Expressive Arts Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Therapy, and Ecotherapy. Using a strength-based approach, my practice is inclusive, non-pathologizing, and centered around the client’s overall well-being.
I believe humans have an innate connection to art, nature, and emotional bonds. Engaging with the arts often evokes deeply rooted emotions and responses that have never been expressed or explored. When we explore our relationship to ourselves and others, we have the potential to grow more confident, connected, and resilient.
My goal is to help you foster healing and wholeness by exploring your felt senses, thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Together, we will create a care plan tailored to your needs, strengths, and goals, whether you are an individual or a couple. I truly look forward to supporting you in your life journey.
“We reach home in many ways: music, art, desert, forest, sunrise, solitude. Whatever revivifies balance is what is essential. That is home.”
