Madeline Lyon, MA, LAMFT
Associate Clinical Therapist
She / Her / Hers
Maddy is a Licensed Associate Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and a Bachelor of Science in Public Health. She is EMDR trained through EMDRIA, and her clinical work is grounded in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS), also known as parts work. Her approach is further informed by attachment theory and a collaborative, client-led philosophy that honors each individual’s inner world and capacity for healing. Maddy believes that meaningful change happens in a calm, accepting environment where curiosity, compassion, and a touch of gentle humor can coexist.
As a neurodivergent clinician, Maddy brings both professional training and lived experience into the therapy room, allowing her to connect deeply with neurodivergent clients in an affirming and attuned way. She is especially passionate about working with couples navigating attachment wounds, emotional disconnection, and mismatched attachment styles. Through an EFT lens, she helps partners understand underlying emotional needs and build more secure, responsive connections, while integrating IFS to explore and heal protective patterns and inner parts.
Maddy is committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and affirming space for all clients, including those within the LGBTQ+ community. Her style is warm, soft, and nonjudgmental, balancing emotional depth with practical, grounded tools. She values moving at a pace that feels safe and sustainable, supporting clients in building insight, resilience, and lasting change.
Originally from San Diego, Maddy is a proud Padres fan. Outside of her work, she enjoys traveling, hiking, spending time with family, reading, and indulging in the occasional reality TV binge. She strives to bring authenticity, steadiness, and genuine care into every session, and would be honored to support you in your healing process.
