Meet Maddie Huntley, CSW-I, Therapist in Reno
Hi, I’m Maddie Huntley, a clinical social work intern born and raised in Northern Nevada. I’m a compassionate, strengths-based therapist in Reno dedicated to helping teens, young adults, couples, and individual therapy clients cultivate the emotional well-being and resilience needed to navigate life’s transitions with confidence.
Whether you’re facing relationship challenges, managing stress, or striving to align your life with your values, I’m here to support you with warmth, curiosity, and respect.
How We Will Work Togther: My Therapeutic Approach
My therapy approach is rooted in humanist principles, emphasizing your inherent strengths and unique capacity for growth and self-discovery. I draw from a variety of evidence-based modalities to support your unique needs. By integrating different approaches, I tailor therapy to help you gain clarity, build confidence, and create meaningful change in your life.
The Perspective I Bring as a Professional
With a background in public policy, outdoor recreation, and health and human services, I bring a broad perspective to my work. I understand that personal challenges are deeply influenced by our environments, relationships, and lived experiences. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive space where we can explore your story together and develop practical tools to help you navigate life’s complexities with greater ease.
Is this a good fit?
I find that my approach works best for individuals who feel “stuck” in their current patterns and are looking for a collaborative, non-judgmental space to explore new perspectives. Whether you are a teen navigating high school social pressures or a couple trying to find your way back to each other, we will work at a pace that feels safe and productive for you. I’ll of course be happy to provide a free phone consultation to help you decide.
Your First Session
Our first meeting is about getting comfortable. We’ll spend time discussing what brings you to therapy right now and what you hope to change. You don’t need to have all the answers or a “plan” before you arrive—my job is to help you organize those thoughts and create a path forward together.
Supervision and Fees
I am currently practicing under the clinical supervision of Cornelius Sheehan, LCSW, ensuring that my clients benefit from a collaborative, highly supported approach to their care. My standard session fee is $130, and I offer a sliding-scale option to accommodate financial needs.
About Me Outside of My Therapy Work
When I’m not in the therapy room, I enjoy getting lost in a good book or exploring the mountains, deserts, and trails that make Northern Nevada such a special place.

Or, you can schedule online here.
Do you take insurance?
As a CSW-I, I offer a sliding scale to keep therapy accessible. I am in network for Hometown Health Plan. When I can’t take insurance directly, I can provide documentation for out-of-network benefits.
How long does therapy last?
Some clients find clarity in a few months, while others prefer ongoing support for deeper transitions.
Do you have specialized training?
Yes, I have advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples, and for individuals.
What is a Clinical Social Work Intern (CSW-I)?
A CSW-I is a professional who has completed their Master’s degree in Social Work and is currently gaining the required post-graduate hours for clinical licensure. This means you get a therapist who is deeply engaged with the latest research and receives regular, high-level clinical guidance from a veteran supervisor, often at a more accessible rate.
Do you offer in-person or telehealth sessions?
I offer both. My preference in in-person meetings, but I know this isn’t always an option for my clients. I believe the environment where you do your work matters. We can meet in our comfortable Reno office for a face-to-face connection, or if your schedule and lifestyle require more flexibility, we can meet via a secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform from wherever you are in Nevada.
