Madeleine Saxe, LMFT
About me
As a licensed therapist in California, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex life transitions and personal challenges. My practice focuses on empowering women, young adults, and families navigating significant emotional landscapes—including relationship dynamics, body image, self-discovery, and personal growth.
My expertise centers on addressing stress, anxiety, addiction, and relationship issues with a compassionate, holistic approach. I understand the intricate emotional journeys surrounding pregnancy, postpartum experiences, fertility challenges, and family transformations. My therapeutic style emphasizes communication, self-love, and helping clients rediscover their inner strength and purpose.
Drawing from years of clinical experience, I create a supportive environment where individuals can explore their unique experiences, heal from past challenges, and develop meaningful strategies for personal transformation. I'm committed to walking alongside my clients with genuine empathy, respect, and professional guidance. I am originally from New York City, so I have been told I am straight forward and to the point, but I am also compassionate and will meet you where you are.
