With younger children, Madison integrates CBT principles with play therapy to support  emotional expression, skill development, and learning in a developmentally appropriate way.  With teens, her approach is collaborative and structured, supporting increased insight, skill-building, and confidence in managing anxiety and difficult emotions. Her work is also informed
