About Vicki
I’m genuinely excited to figure this out with you.
I’m Vicki Madden, MA, LMFT, a licensed marriage and family therapist in Wheat Ridge, and I truly love this work. I bring curiosity, creativity, and a whole lot of heart to every session, and I get excited when we start to make sense of what’s been feeling stuck. Whether you come on your own, as a couple, or as a family, you’ll have someone fully in your corner.

MY STORY
I know what disconnection feels like. I’ve been there.
Feeling unheard by the people you love. Doubting your own worth. Not knowing how to ask for what you need. I know these from the inside, and they’re a big part of why I do this work.
I’m passionate about helping individuals and relationships connect in ways that create transformative change. My practice focuses on helping folks understand their patterns of experiencing, communicating, and understanding, to become more authentic in how they live and love.
Three things I hold for every client
WHAT I BELIEVE
You already have what you need.
I believe you already have everything you need to change. I’m here to help you connect with it.
I walk beside you.
My role is to walk alongside you, helping you make informed choices and connect with your own needs.
You, not the problem.
As a process-oriented, humanistic therapist, I don’t specialize in particular “problems,” as that focuses on the problem rather than you.
“I want you to get excited about who you are, what you are, what you have, and what can still be for you. I want to inspire you to see that you can go far beyond where you are right now.”
WORKING TOGETHER
What is it like to work with me?
Direct and relational: warm, but honest. Therapy is a two-way relationship, so here is what goes both ways.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM ME
- Time spent building trust before we dive in
- Difficult questions, asked with care
- Patterns named, and gently challenged
- A pace that feels tolerable, not overwhelming
- No sides taken: I won’t try to fix your partner
WHAT I’LL ASK OF YOU
- A willingness to have tough discussions
- Honesty about your part in the patterns
- Openness to being challenged
- Practice between sessions
- Motivation for change
