ABOUT MADI:

Hi! I’m Madi Maitz.

I know seeking therapy can feel like the most vulnerable step and finding the right fit can be challenging… I’m glad your search led you here. I like to share with my clients that while they are meeting me as a potential therapist for themselves, I am human first and have navigated the therapist search too!

I grew up playing competitive hockey and attribute those years as the foundation of my love for movement and the power and autonomy it offers me and my body. I view movement as a foundational pillar of mental health and integrate this knowledge into my practice. I am a daughter, sister, friend… I love hiking, running with my dog Leni, CrossFit (yay for trying new things as an adult!), travelling, coffee shops, and connecting with my family and friends.

Before moving to beautiful Kelowna, BC, I lived in Ontario where I completed my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and minored in Psychology & Mental Health. I was working in mental health support for 7 years in roles such as; support for children and families with mental health challenges and developmental disabilities, development and management of mental health programs for adults, substance use counselling for individuals and families. I then moved on to pursue my Masters's degree in Clinical Social work at UBCO and have called Kelowna home since. It is an absolute honour and privilege to be here and share my passion for holistic mental health with the Okanagan community.
