About me
My approach to therapy offers guidance in your journey of rediscovering your unconditional love for yourself and your world. I help you have compassion for challenging feelings by acknowledging how these feelings are separate from our inner spirit and therefore don’t define our self worth. It becomes easier to accept these feelings by also acknowledging that they have a purpose of self protection and therefore come from a place of love. Acceptance of feelings allows us to return to nurturing our bodies through somatic practices and reach a state of joy in the present moment for our blessings. I hope I can reignite the light that is already in you so it can shine brighter for yourself and for your world.
My undergraduate degree/masters degree are from Boston College. I have had clients as young as two and as old as 87! I’ve worked with all ages in outpatient. My focus was children/families in partial hospitalization and in-home. I’ve primarily supported those finding challenge with anxiety, sadness and anger. I am passionate how physical health intertwines with mental health. Therefore I nourish my body with plants and move every day! I have found joy as a boxing instructor and runner. I hope to expose myself to more cultures through travel. I studied abroad in Ecuador and participated in service trips to El Salvador, Mississippi, New Orleans, and the Appalachian region. I live a spiritual life with the belief that we and all “things” are connected by a shared energy of love. Some of my blessings include my parents, sister, brother-in-law, and three-year-old nephew. “You'll never find a rainbow if you're looking down.”

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Eileen Madden. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Teen Counseling might be different.
I've been working with Eileen for 2 years and she has been a blessing. I was so anxious when I first met her - she's helped me navigate from a place of surviving to one of thriving - where now I can focus on self improvement during our sessions. Thank you Eileen!
She’s fantastic I’m happy to work with her and she’s been nothing but helpful and caring I feel I’ve really improved since we started interacting
At first I was skeptical about it but after over a year I can say it’s worth it.
Eileen is kind, wise, intuitive, and emotionally intelligent. She gives you space to talk and her questions are always on point. She is supportive and warm but also challenges you to help you grow. All I can say is: Trust the process. After working with her for about 8 months, I can safely say that I learned more about myself and grew more as a person through my time with her in these several months than I have on my own in 10-20 years. I highly recommend Eileen. Her presence here on teen counseling is a gift. Thank you so much for everything Eileen!
Eileen has saved my life!
Good
Very nice and polite listens well
Eileen is kind and wise. She listens and supports me and my family.
She listens, and challenges my own limiting beliefs, and helps me understand myself better. So thankful for you Eileen!
Outstanding!! I have never done therapy before and Eileen made me so comfortable after the first session. Eileen helped address all of our reason for coming to therapy. Highly efficient therapist!! Highly recommended!!
Eileen was definitely a big help when my partner and I had a sudden issue we needed help sorting out. As a therapist overall, I don’t think she is a very good listener or communicator. The sessions feel disorganized, and she’s silent for long periods of time. I’ve realized that her being silent is her probably messaging her other sessions, because she often asks if we can meet earlier instead of giving her clients her full attention. The final straw was her asking us if we could meet earlier, and kept us on standby for an hour, and when it was time for the earlier session we were three minutes late signing on and she jumped on another session, THEN pushed back the next time slot again! She completely disrespected our time. I had even asked for homework my partner and I could do outside of sessions and she provided very little feedback. Eileen is like talking to an AI. We will be looking for a therapist who provides more of a back and forth/productive conversation, and who takes their clients time seriously.
She is a wonderful listener.
Eileen is kind and has been very helpful with my teenager who was resistant to therapy. We appreciate her help more that I can express!! Thank you!
Eileen is wonderful! Listens, gives good advice and very easy to talk to!
Eileen is very kind, sweet, and patient! Her questions allow me to think more introspectively and I feel very grateful to her for allowing me to embark on this journey towards bettering my mental health!
Eileen is an extremely resourceful and intuitive therapist. She always asks the right questions and I really appreciate our sessions. Her help is right on point with the situations I’m facing.
I am so glad I was matched up with Eileen. She has the positivity and compassion that a good therapist needs in my opinion. I only had four sessions but it’s been eye opening to say the least . I recommend talk therapy to anyone especially with Eileen. Thank you again!
Eileen helped my wife and I reconnect intimately & I couldn't be more grateful for all her help. She has been incredibly helpful and I would definitely tell you to give her a chance. She is 1000% worth it.
She’s very kind
She’s a great listener and helps touch in all subject that are of problem.
She is so great to work with. I look forward to our calls every week.
Eileen is fantastic. She makes me feel so important in life. She makes me feel like someone has got my back and has faith in me. She isn’t pushy or overly opinionated like some therapists I’ve had in the past and helps me figure out how I feel about situations and how I can use certain tools to feel better she is 10/10 and I appreciate her more than I could ever explain.
Aileen has been one of the most compassionate thoughtful people that I've had the opportunity to express all of my things that I'm going on with in my life at the moment she allows me to express and convey things as they come out. She truly has my best interested heart and I'm thankful that I was able to be matched with her. I hope that others are lucky as I was
Eileen is fantastic. She is incredibly flexible and genuinely cares about her patients.
Good communicator and listens to client needs and problems. Things went smoothly and all problems discussed and dealt with!
Great approach, very intuitive to different personality types. Highly recommend! :)
