Professional statement

Madeline Liakos is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in the greater Boston area. She is passionate about providing individual psychotherapy to young adults and adults struggling with mood disorders, relationship issues, grief, chronic and terminal illness, life transitions, and addictions.

Madeline completed her Masters in Social Work at Boston College in Clinical Mental Health. She is on full-time staff at Massachusetts General Hospital, where she provides therapeutic services to patients undergoing cancer treatment. Her prior clinical experience includes outpatient psychotherapy, hospital-based complex care management, community mental health, crisis intervention, school-based therapy, and substance abuse treatment. She completed a postgraduate fellowship in psychodynamic psychotherapy and advanced dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) training. She is committed to continuously expanding her knowledge and skillset to provide her clients the exceptional care that they deserve.


Message to clients

Madeline's style is warm, direct, and relational. She strives to build a strong therapeutic alliance and tailor treatment to each individual's unique needs. She has been trained in numerous evidence-based treatment models, including psychodynamic and relational therapy, DBT, CBT, ACT, and mindfulness-based approaches. Madeline believes that change does not occur in a vacuum and utilizes a team-based approach, referring to and collaborating with outside providers and resources.

Madeline works closely with clients to identify and resolve underlying causes of distress, closely attuning to how unaddressed past experiences may be contributing to their suffering. This work is difficult and can often bring painful emotions to the surface. She carefully guides her clients in developing skills to regulate their emotions, tolerate distress, and improve their functioning in relationships. Her ultimate goal in therapy is to help her clients live meaningful lives, whatever that looks like to them.
