Meet Madeline Verdesca, MA, LAPC

Licensed Associate Professional Counselor

Madeline joins Renovating Hope Counseling with over four years of experience working with individuals and families in a variety of settings including hospital and community mental health. She believes every person brings a unique point of view to the counseling room and that each person is inherently valuable and has the capacity for growth, joy, and true fulfillment. Madeline practices from a client-centered approach, and she utilizes Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) and Experiential Therapy techniques, with a trauma-informed approach.

In her work, she focuses on helping clients navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, spiritual/existential issues, trauma, self-esteem, ADHD, and emotion regulation. Her first priority is cultivating a safe, warm, and open space for clients to discover themselves, grow, and tackle any barriers that they’ve encountered on their journey. Likewise, Madeline believes God has a unique story for every individual, redeeming the broken and hurts in our past. She generally works with children ages 12+, teens/families, college students, and young adults.

Madeline is married and has enjoyed living in Georgia for four years, coming originally from the west coast. She loves gardening, poetry, and going on walks with her labradoodle, River.

Madeline sees clients in person in North Metro Atlanta and via telehealth Georgia.
