Our Team
Madi Maitz
Clinic Owner · RCC, RSW, MSW
Hi! I’m Madi. 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. While you’re meeting me as a potential therapist, I’m human first, and I’ve navigated the therapist search too.
I grew up playing competitive hockey and credit those years as the foundation of my love for movement and the power and autonomy it offers. I view movement as a foundational pillar of mental health and integrate that knowledge into my practice. Outside the office I love hiking, running with my dog Leni, CrossFit, travelling, coffee shops, and connecting with family and friends.
Before moving to beautiful Kelowna, I lived in Ontario, where I completed my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with a minor in Psychology & Mental Health, then spent seven years in mental health support roles: supporting children and families, developing adult mental health programs, and providing substance use counselling. I completed my Master’s degree in Clinical Social Work at UBCO and have called Kelowna home since. It’s an honour to share my passion for holistic mental health with the Okanagan community.
A Holistic Approach
I offer a holistic approach rooted in polyvagal theory to support your journey toward healing and self-discovery. By integrating mind-body techniques and understanding the nervous system’s role in emotional regulation, therapy becomes a balanced, safe space for transformation. I integrate somatic practices to encourage deeper body awareness, and use EMDR to process past trauma and rewire unhelpful patterns.
