About Jen…

Hello! I’m Jennifer Madden. I’m a Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist. I’m a therapist, a wife, a mom, a business owner, and long-time Atchison resident.

My approach to therapy is trauma informed, attachment based, and emotion focused. I specialize in anxiety, past trauma, relationship distress and parenting. I want to help you find self-compassion and see how intentional living can bring about peace.

I live in Atchison with my husband and five of our six children. My oldest son serves in the Marine Corps as an Air Traffic Controller in Hawaii. We have two in college, two in high school and one in middle school. In my free time, I enjoy reading mystery novels and trying to keep my plants alive.   

I believe that love and acceptance create the path to change.
