Madelyn Biles, Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker

I am a neurodivergent, nerdy, goofy, fun-loving human who enjoys helping people through difficult times. I am here to get to know you and provide a compassionate, warm, and safe space where I can assist in helping you overcome barriers, recognize your strengths, and empower you to tap into and recognize your full potential to conquer any hardship in your path. I specialize in the treatment of trauma, depression, anxiety, difficult life transitions, and more. I am both trauma-affirming and LGBTQ+ affirming as well, and I enjoy having a diverse population of clientele. I believe that everyone has their own inner strengths that make them powerful and unique, and enjoy empowering those I work with to tap into that.

I am a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) in Alabama, passionate about helping adults aged 18 and older navigate and heal from a range of emotional challenges. My experience spans working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, difficult life transitions, grief, and trauma. I believe in a collaborative and empowering therapeutic journey. My interventions are rooted in strength-based and positive psychology perspectives, focusing on identifying triggers and barriers to progress, while setting specific, achievable goals for our time together. I integrate effective modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and motivational interviewing, trauma-focused interventions such as internal family systems (IFS), and mindfulness practices, all aimed at building essential coping skills and fostering personal growth. My ultimate goal is to empower my clients to recognize their potential and inherent strengths, guiding them toward becoming their best selves. I am excited to be a part of Cygnus Behavioral Health, and I look forward to working with you!
