She treats adult and adolescent clients in the areas of anxiety and mood disorders, eating disorders, personality disorders and relationship difficulties. Dr. Maddeaux is a strong believer in enhancing treatment outcome by identifying and addressing additional life factors such as marital stress, parenting difficulties, and strained family relationships which can interfere with recovery when treatments targeting the initial complaint have resulted in insufficient reduction of symptoms. She takes a multisystemic approach which may include couples, family and parenting therapy where necessary. Dr. Maddeaux is known for her ability to form close compassionate relationships with her clients, her deep empathy and her use of humour in therapy. She has a reputation for being extremely efficient and maximally informative in each session.
