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 is a Marine Corps veteran, and he and his wife live in Ohio. We have three in college and two in high 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.
