Madeline Cunningham (She/They), Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, Graduate Student Intern
Madeline is a graduate student in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Oregon State University–Cascades, is currently training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy and is the newest clinical team member at Healing Roots Counseling.
Madeline is a member of the LGBTQ+ community, is mixed-raced, and is passionate about offering affirming and inclusive care to all adult individuals seeking counseling. They have a special interest in working with members of the LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities as well as those who have experienced trauma, are navigating relationship challenges, identity exploration and questions of belonging, shame, low self-worth and inner critical patterns, spiritual trauma, grief and loss and with queer and gender nonconforming individuals around family planning and perinatal care.
Madeline is nonjudgmental and curious in their work with clients and brings both a thoughtful and welcoming energy to the counseling process. They value authenticity, reflection, and relational depth within the counseling relationship. Madeline believes therapy is a collaborative and relational process, where healing happens through connection, curiosity, and compassion. Madeline knows they are not the expert of their client’s lives and views their role is to walk alongside their clients within the healing process.
All people experience pain, loss, and moments of disconnection. Healing is not about fixing what is broken, but about creating space for understanding, integration, and reconnection. Madeline holds a holistic view of the therapeutic process, considering how experiences live in our bodies, are shaped by culture and other intersecting identities, as well as how we are influenced and informed by the systems we move through. Madeline supports clients in exploring patterns of being, deepening self-understanding, and cultivating a more compassionate relationship with themselves.
Madeline’s work is influenced by a contemplative perspective focused on slowing down, turning inward, and meeting their clients with curiosity and compassion. She draws from therapeutic approaches including EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), existentialism, somatics, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and nature based healing, to support each client in ways that feels meaningful and individualized.
Madeline is currently completing her graduate education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Oregon State University–Cascades, where she continues to grow into her work through supervision, reflection, and ongoing learning. She is also receiving training and supervision in EMDR through Oregon EMDR, an EMDRIA certified program.
Madeline’s career path includes work in nonprofit and community-based settings supporting adolescents and young adults through career development and environmental conservation work, as well as helping create LGBTQ+ affinity spaces outdoors and offering Youth Mental Health First Aid trainings to community members. She has worked alongside both adults and youth navigating acute mental health challenges within rehabilitation and partial hospitalization settings in multiple programs throughout Central Oregon.
