The Marital Disaffection Iceberg: What’s Under The Surface?

By The STRESS Doc
July 15, 2022

When I work with couples who are at the end of their relationship rope, which I describe as 11th-hour-and-59th-minute marital intervention, there usually has...

“I am female to male transgender, which makes it more difficult finding the right therapist to fit my needs. Dr. Madden was perfect! He does a damn good job at helping me in every aspect. Definitely THE therapist to go to! Thanks Doc!”

“Our marriage was in tatters, my trust in the man I had married decades earlier, at zero. Dr Madden listened with compassion and taught the skills of REBT that enabled us to close the door on our Marriage #1 and work toward creation of a healthy, loving Marriage #2.”

“I was in a situation that I perceived to be really bad. I often felt stuck, alone, and lost with zero options. I was losing control. Although I was stubborn about it, Dr. Madden hung in there and gave me the tools to help manage the stress and anxiety that was taking over and ruining my life. With his guidance all areas of my life have improved, and I can now look forward to a bright future, regardless of what it brings. Dr. Madden literally saved my life! Every time I hug my wife and kids, I’m thankful I called him instead. Thank you, sir!!”

“I am a sexual molestation survivor. When I went to Dr. Madden I was broken and full of anger. His counseling and techniques gave me the ability to mend my heart. Please, if you need any counseling contact him, and trust REBT and in the process. I am forever grateful.”

“I chose Dr. Madden based on his experience treating women and married couples. I was in a very dark place in my life, self-described as broken. Dr. Madden’s compassion, patience, and REBT techniques have helped me grow into a healthier mindset and better place in my life.”

“When I told Dr. Madden about my fear of illness and medical procedures, he told me it was curable. After some REBT work, he suggested that I challenge myself and donate blood. I gained the courage to do that, and Dr. Madden also helped me tackle difficult parenting/family issues.”

“As someone who has just entered adulthood, Dr. Madden and his REBT methods are truly helping me to control my emotions and work through any self-defeating thoughts I have. He is the sweetest counselor I have ever encountered—extremely wise, comforting, and hilarious too! I cannot recommend him enough.”

“I came to Dr. Madden with a history of addiction, serious behavioral problems, and a failing marriage to the woman I loved. His caring REBT therapy helped me piece my life back together and start a new relationship with my wife. Thank you, Dr. Madden.”

“Dr. Madden taught me many valuable ways to manage the inevitable stressors of life. He also introduced me to a philosophy that has been life changing, despite living with daily chronic pain and illness. I feel blessed to have Dr. Madden as part of my healing team.”

“When I first started talking to Dr. Madden, I was on the verge of a divorce and a custody situation. This caused me a lot of anxiety and stress. He provided tools and guidance that made it possible to get through my troubles. Dr. Madden helped change my life.”

“Dr. Madden is an exceptional therapist. His knowledge of REBT and CBT is beyond compare, and his integration of Modern Stoicism is highly unique. I benefited from Dr. Madden’s experience and, frankly, his psychological bedside manner. Counseling is hard work, but Dr. Madden provides the only tools you’ll ever need.”

“Seeking therapy services is a difficult and time-consuming task—and the individual is doing this at a time when life is particularly difficult. I was so happy to find a therapist with advanced training in the approach I was seeking—training with a renowned figure in psychology—Albert Ellis. I feel lucky and grateful to benefit from Dr. Madden’s expertise!”

“I have struggled with anxiety and depression for thirty years, taking meds on and off. I’ve stopped letting my diagnoses define and control me, thanks to Dr. Madden. He saved me from myself and became my safe place—no judgement, just a gentle voice of reason. Thank you Dr. Madden.”
