About
Madison Hosier LMHC, LCPC
I'd love to work with you to take steps towards your ideal life. I work with clients struggling with eating disorders, body image concerns, anxiety, depression, life transitions and burnout. I believe everyone has the potential to create the life they want while still appreciating their present experience. I will work with you on this by creating a nonjudgmental environment that creates a sense of safety and dare I say, enjoyment, in your therapeutic journey. You can expect a lot of talk about values and the use of dog and Harry Potter metaphors in your work with me!
​
A little bit about myself. I grew up on the east coast of Florida and attended undergrad at University of Central Florida. I decided to to continue my education and attended graduate school in Illinois at Northwestern University. Values are something I often talk about in the therapeutic setting. Values are foundational to the human experience. Authenticity and transparency are foundational to my human experience. I strive to bring my genuine self into sessions, creating a connection built on trust and openness and acknowledging that I may not have all the answers but I am committed to working collaboratively with you. On my down time, I like to spend time wondering what my dog is thinking about and find new coffee shops in the neighborhood.

Experience
I am a licensed mental health counselor
I am fully licensed in FL & IL.
I have experience working in various settings, including residential, PHP/IOP and Private Practice seeing individual client's on an outpatient basis. I predominately work with clients struggling with eating disorders, body image concerns, anxiety, depression, life transitions and burnout.
Education:
I attended undergraduate at University of Central Florida and received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. I then went on to receive my Master of Arts in Psychology from Northwestern University in Evanston, IL.
My Approach:
I incorporate a mix of therapeutic techniques in my sessions with clients - including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, strengths work and exposure work. I am also trained in EMDR therapy.
​
I believe that the core foundation of therapy is creating an alliance with clients in which they are able to feel comfortable, safe, and supported along their journey. I assist clients by understanding their story with empathy and compassion, while acknowledging that no one path looks the same – I value the importance of meeting clients where they are.
