It’s apple pie weather here in the Midwest! Apple pie brings to mind the significance of simple things. My daily wellness “apple pie” is sleep, movement, intellectual stimulation, and connection. What is yours?

Have you met Madison? You should! If you want a shift in performance, she’s your girl! Madison Riebe, LPCC brings an integrated health and wellness background to support clients in high performance hobbies and athletics! 💪🏼 She will be in office on Thursdays and telehealth too.

Bio: With over a decade of a background in the fitness community and competitive powerlifting-health and wellness is a passion of mine. My goal as a clinician is to work with you as a whole person through combining mind, body, and spirit as we walk through your healing journey. I have experience including (but not limited to) athletics and performance-based concerns, anxiety disorders, trauma, relationship issues (e.g. domestic violence, divorce), grief and loss, life transitions, and stress management. I have also worked with individuals that are also in professional healthcare settings. I offer individual therapy, life coaching for ages 14 and older, and consultations.

My specialties include: trauma, integrative health and wellness, and working with performance-based hobbies, athletics, and those within the fitness community (i.e. bodybuilding, powerlifting, CrossFit, strongman, team sports, individual sports, or any other performance-related hobbies/occupations). If you are looking for someone that understands the complications of athletics and fitness-related hobbies, I am hopeful I can be of help to you.

I naturally take a trauma-informed, holistic approach- using psychoeducation, Polyvagal Theory, bits of existentialism and Jungian theory. However, my approach is eclectic, and I apply what is best appropriate for each clients’ unique circumstances. I enjoy implementing use of creative methods such as art directives, writing, music, and beyond.

I am dually licensed in both Minnesota (LPCC) and Wisconsin (LPC). I have certifications in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Advanced Nutrition and Integrative Health for Mental Health Professionals, and personal training. I received my Bachelor’s of Science in Psychology through University of Wisconsin – River Falls, and my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling through Bethel University.
