About Madigan Kent
This trauma-focused therapist specializes in attachment and developmental trauma, helping clients understand how early family experiences may continue to influence emotions, relationships, coping patterns, and their sense of safety. Remote therapy is currently available.
The therapeutic approach is integrative and individualized, drawing from Somatic Experiencing, Polyvagal Theory, Internal Parts Therapy, the Safe and Sound Protocol, mindfulness, Positive Psychology, Humanistic Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Spirituality may also be incorporated when it aligns with a client’s beliefs and preferences. Warmth and appropriate humor help create an approachable environment for deeper therapeutic work.
Areas of focus include codependency, dissociation, chronic pain, addictive behaviors, emotional regulation difficulties, relationship challenges, and patterns connected to early attachment experiences.
Rather than focusing only on symptoms, therapy helps clients explore underlying patterns and strengthen their connection with themselves and others. Through compassionate, body-aware, and trauma-informed care, clients are supported in developing greater emotional regulation, rebuilding self-trust, establishing a stronger sense of safety, and creating healthier patterns that support lasting well-being.
