Maddie Purpura Therapy

I have been a therapist since 2020, overtime finding my passion in helping people navigate trauma, relationships, life transitions and more through an authentic, warm, and honest therapeutic relationship rooted in evidence-based practices that include EMDR, IFS, and trauma-informed care My Approach To Therapy I am big on meeting people where they are at and building a solid therapeutic relationship/sense of safety before getting into anything, as I have found this to be the foundation of getting what you want out of therapy. You have to feel safe, in control, seen, and understood in order to become vulnerable enough to do the work. Working with me, you will find grace, gentleness, and warmth- paired with honesty and straightforward, authentic communication. While I draw from a handful of therapeutic modalities, person-centered therapy and unconditional positive regard are foundations of my work. This means valuing someone as a whole, worthy human being without conditions or judgment. I believe most responses to trauma, and most "negative behaviors" in general have likely served a purpose at one point in time, or have been powerful tools for survival, and together we’ll explore which patterns are still serving you—and which ones you’re ready to gently release.
