About Cook Counseling and Wellness
Meet Maddie
Hi! I’m Maddie, a mental health therapist providing supportive counseling across Florida. With a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and five years of experience, I’ve had the privilege of working closely with individuals facing anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use challenges, and those within the LGBTQ+ community. I’m deeply committed to helping people find their strength, build meaningful connections, and create lasting resilience. Together, we can begin a healing journey tailored to you. I’m here to support you every step of the way.
Specialties
LGBTQ+ population
At Cook Counseling and Wellness, I am committed to providing an affirming and safe space for LGBTQ+ individuals. With specialized experience supporting the unique challenges faced by the LGBTQ+ community, I understand the importance of navigating identity, relationships, and self-acceptance in a world that isn’t always supportive. My approach is both compassionate and empowering, focusing on helping clients build resilience, self-compassion, and authentic connections.
Self Esteem & Identity
Healthy self-esteem and a strong sense of identity are foundational to living a fulfilled life. My approach helps clients explore and embrace their authentic selves, working through self-doubt, societal pressures, or past experiences that may have impacted their self-worth. Together, we’ll uncover strengths, build confidence, and cultivate a deep sense of self-acceptance, so you can feel empowered in who you are and live in alignment with your values. Whether you’re just beginning this journey or looking to deepen your understanding of yourself, I am here to support you every step of the way.
Depression
Depression can feel overwhelming, isolating, and exhausting. Depression is more than just sadness; it’s a complex experience that can affect every part of your life, making even daily tasks feel difficult. I am here to help you navigate this journey with compassion and understanding. You don’t have to face depression alone—support is here whenever you’re ready.
Anxiety
Anxiety can impact every area of life, from relationships to work and personal well-being. Anxiety often brings a cycle of worry, tension, and self-doubt that feels hard to break. My approach focuses on helping you understand the roots of your anxiety, develop practical coping skills, and regain a sense of calm and control.
Addiction Counseling
Addiction counseling services can help you overcome substance abuse and other addictive behaviors. I use a variety of evidence-based techniques to help you develop coping skills, build a support network, and achieve lasting recovery. I also provide support for family members affected by addiction.
Life Transitions
Life transitions—whether planned or unexpected—can be both exciting and challenging. Changes in career, relationships, or personal goals can stir up feelings of uncertainty, stress, and even self-doubt. I am here to support you in navigating these shifts with clarity and confidence.
Stress Management
Develop practical tools to manage stress and find balance. Together, we’ll identify stress triggers and build strategies to support a calmer, healthier life.
Relationship Conflict & Communication
Couples counseling can help you and your partner improve communication, resolve conflicts, and build a stronger relationship. Whether you are facing challenges related to intimacy, trust, or other issues, we can work together to achieve greater satisfaction in your relationship.
Codependency
If codependency is affecting your relationships or self-esteem, I offer a supportive space to break these patterns, set healthy boundaries, and rediscover your sense of self.
Life Coaching
I’m here to empower you in reaching your personal and professional goals. With a focus on growth and accountability, I’ll guide you in creating a fulfilling, purpose-driven life.
