Professional statement

Maddie 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, and finding life purpose and meaning.

Maddie 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, community mental health, crisis intervention, school-based therapy, and substance abuse treatment. She completed a postgraduate fellowship in psychodynamic psychotherapy and advanced training in dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). She is committed to continuously expanding her knowledge and skillset to provide her clients the exceptional care that they deserve.

Message to clients

My style is warm, direct, and relational. I strive to build a strong therapeutic alliance and tailor treatment to each individual's unique needs. I have been trained in numerous evidence-based treatment models, including psychodynamic and relational therapy, DBT, CBT, ACT, and mindfulness-based approaches. I believe that change does not occur in a vacuum and utilize a team-based approach, referring to and collaborating with outside professionals and resources.

I 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. I carefully guide my clients in developing skills to regulate their emotions, tolerate distress, and improve their functioning in relationships. My ultimate goal in therapy is to help my clients live meaningful lives, whatever that looks like to them.
