Maddie Kallianis, who earned her Master of Science in Clinical Psychology from Benedictine University, is a compassionate and collaborative therapist who brings a warm, grounded presence to her work with clients of all ages. She is especially passionate about supporting children and adolescents, drawing on her extensive background in school-based counseling to help navigate emotional regulation, peer relationships, academic stress, and family dynamics. Maddie is excited to work with individuals across all populations and identities, and she strives to create an affirming, empowering space where clients feel understood, supported, and capable of meaningful change.
Maddieβs clinical approach integrates CBT-informed strategies with developmentally attuned, strengths-based interventions. Her experience in elementary and middle school settings has shaped her ability to build rapport quickly, collaborate with families and multidisciplinary teams, and tailor interventions to each clientβs unique needs.
Outside of the therapy room, Maddie enjoys spending time outdoors hiking, getting creative through crafting projects, and baking treats to share with friends and family. She values balance, curiosity, and connectionβqualities she brings wholeheartedly into her therapeutic work.
