Madeline (Maddi) DeBoer is licensed in Iowa, Alabama, Colorado, and Florida and sees adolescents and adults, ages 10 and up. Maddi specializes in working with clients who struggle with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and related disorders such as body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs), which include hair-pulling and skin-picking (trichotillomania and excoriation disorder). Maddi is a professional member of the International OCD Foundation (IOCDF) and has pursued specialized training in the treatment of BFRBs through the TLC Foundation for BFRBs. She is the only provider in Iowa, and one of two in Alabama, who has the designation of being a graduate of the TLC Foundation's Virtual Professional Training Institute and is listed among their therapist directory. In addition to her work with OCD and BFRBs, Maddi also works with those with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), anxiety related to life adjustments and stressors, and specific phobias. She strives to deliver compassionate and effective treatment to clients using evidenced-based approaches.

Maddi received her B.S. in psychology at the University of Northwestern, St. Paul and her M.A. in social work from the University of Northern Iowa, where she extensively studied trauma-informed and evidenced-based practices. She completed her master’s-level internships at St. Luke’s Hospital and Tanager Place in Cedar Rapids, IA. Since she received her license and degree, Maddi has worked in a variety of clinical settings running partial hospitalization and therapy groups and practicing individual and family therapy. She made the transition to a private group practice a year ago and thrives in helping clients find ways to successfully manage their specific anxieties. Maddi is also a certified yoga teacher.
