Taj Maddox

My approach is warm, collaborative, practical, and relational. I meet you where you are, with no judgment, and help you slow down, notice your patterns, and reconnect with who you are underneath the pressure to hold it all together. We move at a pace that feels safe, not rushed.

Together, we’ll explore the patterns that keep you feeling overwhelmed, help you set boundaries without guilt, and quiet the pressure to have life all figured out. This isn’t about becoming a better version of who everyone expects you to be; it’s about feeling more like yourself.

Clients describe me as relatable and easy to talk to, someone who creates a safe space to be raw and unfiltered. They value the practical tools they can use outside of session and often say they feel how invested I am in their progress and goals.

I'm the therapist for hyper-independent women of color (BIPOC), oldest/only daughters, and young adults and adults navigating self-worth, identity, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and relationships. I also work with couples who love each other but feel stuck in the same arguments, struggling to reconnect, or avoiding difficult conversations.

I became a therapist because I understand the pressure to be perfect, not knowing how to put yourself first after being taught that it's selfish, wanting your mind to stop racing, and pouring into others until your cup is empty. I want to help people find real balance, boundaries, and peace.

I'm a sister to a US Marine and connected to the law enforcement community. Outside of sessions, I enjoy reading, archery, trying new restaurants, and baking. If you're looking for a practice that offers complete mental healthcare, Maran Healthcare also offers psychiatric and medication management if you ever need that support.
