Madz Kluz is the owner and mental health therapist for Lavender Minds Counseling PLLC. I operate strongly with the belief that kindness and care for others goes a long way. I enjoy connecting with and helping others regardless of our differences. I am passionate about working with both teens and adults to help them process trauma and come into their own as individuals, although I work with a variety of mental health issues. As an artist, I am especially passionate about using art as healing. Art can create a strong container for difficult emotions, and I believe you don’t have to be an artist to benefit from the power of art making! I use therapeutic modalities including but not limited to art therapy, mindfulness-based interventions, trauma-informed practices, CBT, and DBT. I utilize not only harm prevention, but also harm reduction, in attempts to provide space to work with difficult topics such as self-harm or suicidal ideation. I am always trying to educate myself further to help my clients! Regardless of where you may be in your life, healing is a lifelong trek that I feel encourages us to become the best version of ourselves. All of this said, I truly hope to have the honor of holding space for you on your own healing journey!
