Most therapists treat the trauma or the relationship. I specialize in the interaction between the two.

Therapy for individuals and couples in Colorado carrying a history of trauma.

Madison Mehlman, LCSW, trauma and couples therapist in Denver

About Madison

The effects of trauma show up most clearly in our closest relationships. I support men, women, and couples navigating the lasting impacts of trauma and the ways those experiences shape their relationships, sense of self, and emotional lives.

My background includes extensive work with survivors of domestic violence, which informs my relational, curious, and compassionate approach to therapy. I am especially passionate about working with men affected by cultural expectations around masculinity and emotional expression, and as a woman I bring a unique perspective to those conversations.

Drawing from psychoanalytic, emotionally-focused, and EMDR approaches, I collaborate closely with my clients to explore their histories, strengthen their relationships, and create lasting, meaningful change.

Common Questions

Do you take insurance?
I am private pay only and do not bill insurance directly. Sessions are $180 for individuals and $200 for couples. For weekly therapy, I can provide a superbill for out-of-network mental health benefits, which may allow 60 to 100% reimbursement of the session fee once your insurance deductible has been met. Psychoanalytic psychotherapy and EMDR intensives are not eligible for reimbursement due to session frequency requirements. Sliding scale options may also be available.
Do you offer a free consultation?
Yes, I offer a free 15-minute consultation so we can talk about what you’re looking for and whether we’d be a good fit before scheduling a first session.
Where is your office? Do you offer online sessions?
My office is at 1330 N Logan St in Denver’s Capitol Hill neighborhood, close to Uptown and North Capitol Hill. I also offer secure online therapy to clients anywhere in Colorado.
What is EMDR therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) stimulates and accelerates the brain’s natural healing process, helping reduce the emotional charge of a traumatic memory and integrate it into your overall life experience. I offer EMDR to individual clients, both within ongoing therapy and as all-day EMDR intensives for focused work on traumatic memories.
What is psychoanalytic therapy?
Psychoanalytic therapy is an in-depth approach to understanding yourself, your relationships, and longstanding emotional patterns. We typically meet two to three times per week, which allows a deeper exploration of how past experiences and unconscious patterns continue to influence your daily life. It isn’t the right fit for everyone, and I’m happy to talk through whether this approach aligns with your needs.
Who do you work with?
I work with adult individuals and couples, particularly people carrying a history of trauma, survivors of domestic violence, and men navigating cultural expectations around masculinity and emotional expression.
