Eileen Madden guides clients through a process of rediscovering unconditional love for themselves and for the world around them. She supports people in developing compassion for difficult emotions by helping them see those feelings as separate from their inner spirit and not as measures of self-worth.

She frames challenging emotions as protective responses that arise from a place of care, which can make them easier to accept. That acceptance creates space for somatic practices that tend the body and help individuals experience moments of joy in the present.

Eileen seeks to reignite the light already within each person so it can shine more brightly for themselves and for others.

She earned both her undergraduate and master’s degrees from Boston College and brings 13 years of clinical experience to her practice in New Jersey. She is licensed to practice as a professional counselor in New Jersey (NJ LPC 37PC00792800).

Her clinical work has included outpatient settings with clients ranging from two to 87 years old. Much of her focus has been on children and families in partial hospitalization and in-home care, and she has primarily supported people facing anxiety, sadness, and anger.

Eileen emphasizes the link between physical and mental health. She nourishes her body with plants, moves every day, and finds joy teaching boxing and running. She hopes to expose herself to more cultures through travel, having studied abroad in Ecuador and participated in service trips to El Salvador, Mississippi, New Orleans, and the Appalachian region.

She lives a spiritual life grounded in the belief that all things are connected by a shared energy of love. Among her personal blessings are her parents, sister, brother-in-law, and her four-year-old nephew. She often reflects on the line, “You’ll never find a rainbow if you’re looking down.”
