About Maddisson Elizardo

I am licensed in Texas with 6 years of professional work experience. I am in the process of becoming EMDR trained. In addition, I am a CPTT candidate which focuses on healing from past and present betrayal trauma. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions (sex and substance use), trauma and abuse, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

“We are early on in the relationship as well as this being the first time I have attempted EMDR and so I think it is as positive and most importantly, helpful and useful as it can be in a circumstance where this is the first handful of times you have spoken with somebody. Everything’s great.”

“Considerate, understanding, thoughtful, and a great listener. She's created an invaluable safe space for me to feel validated and seen- she is the best therapist I have ever had.”

“Maddisson is practical, kind and knowledgeable. She picks up on nuances in an effort to help real work be done. I would absolutely recommend her.”
