Madison Witschen, MA, LPC, LADC

 My name is Madison Witschen. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LADC) in Minnesota. I am currently working towards licensure to become a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC). 

Through a person-centered lens, I believe that everyone is the expert of their own lives. Your story and life experiences are unique to you. My priority is to offer a safe and authentic space that fosters self-exploration and growth. I have a passion in working with individuals with substance use and co-occurring disorders and criminal-justice-impacted people. I primarily work with adults and adolescents. 

In my free time, you can expect to find me somewhere outdoors camping, hiking, fishing, or foraging mushrooms with my family (including 2 beloved fur babies).

 ART is a psychotherapy technique rooted in existing evidence-based therapies that provides rapid relief from distressful trauma symptoms, anxiety, and other issues. ART is used to treat betrayal trauma, PTSD, and other forms of trauma.   Clients suffering from other mental health challenges can experience remarkable benefits.  Some of these challenges include:  Addiction, Anxiety, Depression, OCD, Grief & Loss, Family Issues, and Phobias. 

ART works by temporarily reactivating the traumatic memory using relaxing eye movements. When the memory is accessed it can be permanently changed using ART's protocols and techniques.  While the client knows that the changes are not the actual memory, it provides a new start for the client.  The clients Trigger Origin is changed or removed which provides rapid emotional relief.  ART's motto is to keep the knowledge and lose the pain.  Once the session is complete, you will still have the facts of the memory, but you will lose the painful images, emotions, and sensations that were once a part of the memory.
